If you are interested in the possibility of giving one of the animals a new lease on life, please contact us. The contact information is listed at the end of each biography.  What you need to do to adopt:If you would like to adopt a pet in need from Almost Home, basically, an application must be filled out. We will check two personal references and a vet reference. If you are approved for adoption, there is a trial period of about one week to make sure this is the animal for you and you are the person for the animal. Along with the trial period, a contract must be signed that basically states that if ever you cannot keep the animal that you must return the animal to Almost Home. Last but not least, a home check will be done. Meet & Greets:An approved application is required. This does not mean that you have to adopt but that you are approved to do so if everything works out. Since we are foster based, this limits the amount of people coming to our homes.  Hello there! I’m Blossom, and my journey started as a stray with some tough times, but fortunately, I was rescued by a kind soul and found my way to a wonderful foster mommy. Whew! What a relief! I’m a darling girl with a soft, cooing voice that you’ll find utterly endearing. I adore being petted and cuddled, and I’m quite the expert at giving massages. Instead of making biscuits, I prefer to stomp on you—trust me, it’s way more enjoyable! I’m a snuggle enthusiast and love sleeping beside you and following you around. While I’m not a fan of being picked up, my foster family says I’m an absolute sweetheart and super loving. But here’s the best part of my story: I’ve found my soulmate, Simon. He’s the love of my life and the one I never want to be without. He’s dreamy, charming, and together we’re simply inseparable. We both adore humans more than toys and are two peas in a pod. So, please, don’t ask to separate us—we belong together! We’re both big fans of eating, treats, and snuggling. You’ll often find us squished into the same cozy cube on the cat tree, just to be close to one another. A calm, loving home where we can adjust at our own pace and let us sleep with you would be perfect for us. If you welcome us into your life, you’ll be one of the luckiest people around, with double the love and affection from two devoted furballs.

Our human had to move into assisted living, and now we’re left behind, feeling scared and unsure of what comes next. It’s been hard losing the home and person we loved, and I’m still trying to adjust. Marshmallow, with her gorgeous blue eyes, is a bit more independent, but she’s still sweet in her own quiet way. As for me, I’ve always found comfort in the company of other cats. I love them and do my best to be a gentle companion. Humans, though? I’m much shyer. I won’t come up to you right away, but I promise I’m not mean—I just need time and patience to feel safe. We’re both hoping for a quiet, loving home where we can stay together. We may be shy, but we bring a quiet beauty and grace to any home we’re in—the kind that fills the space with warmth even if we don’t ask for much attention. We just want a calm, safe place where we can feel secure again. If you have room in your heart for two gentle souls who need a second chance, please think of us. We’re waiting for a place where we can finally feel safe and loved again.

She was hanging around my husband's warehouse so he brought her home. We work 12 shifts. No time for pets. She deserves better. She's healthy, beautiful and strong. Friendly, smart, and sweet.

Ree is an active gal who loves to play! She is a beautiful Torbie who really likes to play with other cats but will also happily entertain herself if no other felines are available. Dont have another cat? Rees sister Jane, is also a resident at Scruffys and the two are so much fun to watch play! Rees favorite toys are catnip mice and feathers on a string. She also really likes treats and canned cat food as well as gentle pats and head scratches from her people. Ree was friendly with the small cat savvy dog in her previous foster home.

Hello there, I'm Monica. I'm the kind of cat who enjoys the simple things in life. A warm lap, a gentle stroke, and a friendly voice are all I need to feel content. I have a gentle soul, and I love nothing more than to be held and comforted. I'm sweet and friendly, not your typical moody calico!!! I promise to bring a touch of joy to your day. I have so much love to give and I'm ready to share it with someone who'll cherish me. You should adopt me because I'll fill your life with purrs, cuddles, and unconditional love.

Demeter is a very timid, nervous girl. She came from a less than desirable situation, and having all this change has been hard for her. After she warms up, she will swirl around your legs when you go to greet her. She still winces occasionally when people touch her, but dont take it personally. She is still learning to let her guard down, and sometimes gets nervous when realizing how comfortable she is getting and runs back to safety under a chair. She definitely has a limited social battery and needs a family who will be willing to give her space while she warms up to her new environment. Demeter loves wet food and treats, so those are definitely the way to her heart. She gets along with other cats but has a personal space bubble that she prefers to keep to herself.

Originally thought to be "spicy", Petunia is not, she is just shy. She just needs a bit of time and patience to "learn you...time to adjust to new things. She loves to be held and petted, and once she's used to her new human, she will likely sleep at your feet. She does very well with other cats. She hasn't yet been exposed to dogs, but we believe she will do well, given time to adjust. She came to us after being abandoned at the Dollar Tree in Madisonville. Indoor ONLY. She would probably do best in a home with older children. Fully vetted and ready to go! Estimated DOB: 10-10-21. Since Petunia is in a foster home right now, please call to schedule a "meet and greet. $25 adoption fee for this spectacular girl. 423-436-2900 or email info@monroecountyfriendsofanimals.org

Meet Chester! Are you ready to welcome a bundle of joy into your home? Chester, our handsome ginger cat with a distinguished orange soul-patch and an adorable, tiny, white mustache, is on the lookout for his forever family. He also has spectacular dark orange eyes! Chester was found wandering as a scared/shy stray. He is a 3-year-old playful little rascal who adores toys and can turn any mundane day into a fun adventure. He's got a carefree attitude-absolutely no interest in working on making biscuits-just pure fun! He's also a master of head butts, always ready to show affection in his own unique way. When he's really happy, Chester has a special little two-step dance that will steal your heart. He loves chin rubs and head pets-he loves attention when approached slowly. While he loves to frolic, he's still a bit shy around loud noises, so a calm and cozy environment would suit him best. If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet, playful companion, Chester is the kitty for you. Come meet Chester and let him charm his way into your life! Chester is currently hanging out in a foster home. His foster mom says he gets along well with the resident cats. Please call or email to schedule a meet and greet with this wonderful guy!
