Kittens and cats in Alcoa, Tennessee

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.

Moosh is 3-4 years old. He was found on the side of the street when he was younger. He is an extremely affectionate cat, and can sometimes be quite demanding about it. He loves people and interacting with new people. There is need for time to get to used to new people, he loves everybody. From what we have experienced, he is very passive and has no problem with other cats, however he has never been with a dog. He’s hilarious, adorable, affectionate, and sometimes a little aloof.

I'm a Maine Coon mix with soft black fur and the sweetest face you’ve ever seen. Recently, my life has been turned upside down. My beloved human moved into assisted living, and my kitty friends and I found ourselves in an empty house. Luckily, we made it into rescue, but now I’m waiting, hoping someone will open their heart to me. I'm a gentle giant, known for my sweet disposition and love of cuddles. Petting and belly rubs are my absolute favorites, and I'll happily spend most of my time by your side, offering companionship and affection. But what I really want you to know about me is that I’m a love bug. I’m also a great office buddy, so if you need company while you work, I’m your guy. I’m pretty chill, and I’d love a calm, peaceful home where I can relax and feel safe. I'd be fine with older children. I'd be perfectly content getting all your attention and love as your only kitty. And I know my name well, so just call 'Manny' or make a kissy smoochy sound and I’ll come trotting over, ready for cuddles. If you're looking for a loving and loyal companion to share your days with, I would be honored to be part of your family. Please consider giving me a chance to bring joy and warmth into your home. With love and soft purrs,Manny PS. I've already had my dental! If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830.

I’m a sweet, shy kitten looking for my forever home, and I’m hoping you’ll consider adopting me along with my brother, Howl. We’re an inseparable pair, and we’d be overjoyed to share our lives with you. At first, I might seem a bit reserved and shy, but it only takes me a few days to warm up to new people. If you approach me slowly and gently, I’ll start to feel safe and let you pet me! Food is definitely the way to my heart, so a little treat goes a long way in making friends with me. Once I’m comfortable and know I can trust you, I’ll come right up for cuddles. I love making biscuits on your lap and lying on the couch with you. I’m also a big fan of climbing and being up high, so you’ll often find me lounging on the tallest platform of our cat tree at home. I’m the SOFTEST kitty you’ll ever meet, and I absolutely adore other cats. My brother, Howl, and I are incredibly close. We snuggle and play together all day long, and I can’t imagine life without him. We truly make the perfect pair and bring so much joy to each other. I’m really hoping to find my forever home soon, and it would mean the world to me if I could find a home with you—and with Howl. We’re both affectionate and playful, and we promise to fill your days with love, laughter, and endless purrs. Thank you for considering giving us a chance. We can’t wait to become a part of your family and share our lives with you!

I’m a handsome young man with a big heart, and I need your help to find a forever home—not just for me, but for my sister, Princess Mononoke, too. We’re a package deal, and our bond is so strong that we really don’t want to be separated. I absolutely adore everyone I meet—people and other cats alike! I’ll play with anything and everyone, and my playful spirit never seems to run out. I’m also a big fan of eating—so much so that we have to keep a close eye on me during breakfast and dinner because I’ll try to steal my sister’s food if given the chance. Princess Mononoke and I are the best of friends. We cuddle together, play together, and nap together. We’ve been through so much in our short lives, and we find so much comfort and joy in each other’s company. I’m not just asking for a home; I’m asking for a family who will welcome us both with open arms and love us as much as we love each other.

For seven years, I’ve lived a quiet life. I’m not a bold cat. I don’t ask for much. My favorite thing in the world is my little basket — it’s where I sleep, where I hide when I’m scared, and where I feel safe. But now everything is changing, and I don’t know why. My person is moving. And she isn’t taking me with her. I don’t understand. I’ve been a good boy. I’m gentle. I keep to myself. I get nervous around new people and loud noises, but I try really hard to be brave. If you give me time, I’ll start to trust you. I’ll even come up for pets. I want to be loved — I just don’t always know how to ask. I have a condition called podo-dermatitis in my front paws. It makes them a little tender, but I’ve been seeing a vet, and I’m doing well. I’m also up-to-date on my shots and have been taken care of… until now. I get along with other cats just fine. Dogs make me nervous. People do too, at first. But I promise — there’s a loving heart under all this shyness. I just need someone who will give me the chance to show it. I have until May 12th to find a new home or foster. After that… I don’t know what will happen to me. Please, if there’s space in your heart and home for a scared, sweet boy who just wants to feel safe again… will you let me come stay with you? I’ll bring my basket.And all the love I’ve been saving.
