Rescue FAQs

Our team is dedicated to taking in neonatal kittens and puppies (anywhere from a couple hours old to about 12 weeks) and providing the life saving care that they so desperately need. Thanks to a dedicated group of foster families, we take in neonates from the areas of East Tennessee and North Georgia, place them in the home of an experienced neonatal foster family and provide all supplies needed to raise these sweet babies. All our animals are fully vetted and then adopted out into loving homes across the continental 48 states.

Additional adoption info

We have an extensive adoption process as it is important to us that we not only find the perfect furever home for one of our babies, but that we find the perfect addition to your family.

Everyone is required to fill out our adoption application in it’s entirety. At the end of the adoption application, each applicant must provide three, non family references, contact information for every adult over the age of 18 living in the home, vet information, and landlord contact information (if applicable). Our team then calls and speaks to every one of the above listed. If all checks out, we will then schedule an interview with the applicant over the phone. The last step is to submit a home video tour which includes a walk through of the entirety of the applicant’s home and yard (if adopting a puppy/dog).

Once all of the above is completed, we can go ahead and schedule a meet and greet with the animal and the applicant.

Please understand that completion of this process is not a guarantee of an adoption. Our team works tirelessly to ensure the very best outcome for both the animal and potential adopter. If a particular animal does not work out but you have an approved application, we will work with you to match you with the perfect fit.

**Priority for kittens is given to those willing to adopt a pair as kittens do much better with a friend. Some kittens are listed as a bonded pair and are not allowed to be adopted separately but will be labeled as such.

All of our adoption fees include up-to-date vet recommended vaccines, proper deworming protocol, spay/neuter, a month’s dose of flea and tick meds as well as heartworm meds (if applicable), a microchip with a lifetime registration, various other vetting expenses as well as an adoption bag full of goodies!
