Story
Mittsey may just be the perfect cat. She is early middle aged at 7 years old and has a fabulous personality. She is friendly, loves attention, but is not too needy. She enjoys her wet food and is a bit chonky, but not so much that it is a problem, and she can groom herself fine. She does okay with other cats given a proper introduction and is generally just a joy to have around. She had been at a crowded shelter since June with zero issues. She was just overlooked due to age and sheer numbers of cats and kittens there. We felt it was time that she got the spotlight. Visit her at our Lenoir City Petsense location today. She is litter box trained and will make a great family companion! Indoor homes ONLY please!! We do out of state adoption, but do not transport!! This precious kitty's adoption fee is $30 and includes; Spay/Neuter, FVRCP and Rabies Vaccinations, Microchipped, Flea Treatment, Dewormer and FIV/FeLV Tested (Negative). Also, you get a FREE Veterinary Visit, a FREE pets Automatic Laser Toy (Amazing), a FREE Cat Toy, a FREE Educational Coloring Book for your kid, and more. WOWWWWEEEE MEOWEEE WHAT A DEAL!!! Meet this fantastic kitty at our adoption center located inside partizans Pet Store located at 300 Market Dr #201, Lenoir City, TN 37774. You can check hours by calling them at (865) 988-8891.

Story
Cat Ballou here reporting for The SARG Times. I’m interviewing Walker, a very special SARG kitty. Cat: Walker, tell us about yourself. Walker: I’m an orange tabby, bobtail boy, and I’ve probably got a Manx cat for an ancestor somewhere. I’m the perfect weight for my big bones, topping the scale at 16 pounds. When I went in for my vaccines, the vet tech wanted to know if I was a cat or a mountain lion. I’m shy, but once we are friends, I want all the pets! Cat: What is your career aspiration?        Walker: I’ve always wanted to be a Texas Ranger. Can’t you just see me with a white cowboy hat on my head? Cat: What is your favorite quote? Walker: A true friend is a friend for life. Cat: Do you have any hobbies? Walker: I love taking naps, and then watching the birbs and skwerls from the screen porch at my foster home. They are so sassy, because they know I can’t get out! Cat: Would you consider yourself a lap cat? Walker: I’m a polite, gentleman cat who doesn’t require a lap. I love to be beside you, and if you stretch out on a recliner or a sofa, I love to lay across your legs. Cat: Any final words? Walker: Are you looking for a handsome, 2-year-old fella? That’s me. Give me a chance, and I’m sure you’ll be my favorite person, and I’ll be your favorite cat.

Crafty & Kea are now available as a BONDED PAIR! Because they have done so well together in their foster home, the adoption fee for one of them is being sponsored! This means that an approved applicant will get a reduced adoption fee of $110 for BOTH of these amazing kitties!It's important to note that both of these kitties have had to work through a lot of challenges in their young lives. They are flourishing in a home setting, but will need a calm environment with a family who is patient, kind, understanding, and willing to give them time to adjust to a new place. Their foster home also recommends a home with no small children or dogs to aid in a successful long-term match. Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 4 Age: 1yrs 5mths 0wks

Brie Clarson and her 3 kittens share their foster home with Victoria, their kitty-loving doggy foster sister. Brie has two daughters: Havarti Patel and Gouda, and one son, Morticai Stilton. The kittens were born around the first week or two of February, 2024, so they are about 13-14 weeks old as of May 7. We estimate Brie to be less than a year old. She's a beautiful kitty and very sweet and loving. She likes to follow her foster family around the house. She likes Victoria and will cuddle with her from time to time. She's very playful and loves to chase her kittens around the house and play with them.

Hot Lips is a cute short haired classic gray tabby female about 3 years old (DOB about 3/22/21).  She is a super-socialized, fun-loving crew.  Watch the video and look how much fun they are having at our recent adoption fair.   She LOVES everyone as soon as she meets them.  She is VERY playful and active.  She loves to play with toys or other cats and is never bored.  She gets along well with other cats, and we think she'd be great with dogs and kids.  She's negative for feline leukemia and aids, had all distemper and the rabies vaccines, been wormed, had revolution for fleas, and been vet checked, spayed, and microchipped. If interested in these cutie pies, please contact Holly at 865-671-4564 or hhfrey1@tds.net.  We are a small, private feline-only rescue group dedicated to the rescue, care and placement of homeless cats and kittens.

Story
Say hello to Basil and Everest – a purrfect pair of kittens that would transform your life and your home! They are not siblings, and while they are available to adopt separately, they compliment each other so well that their foster mom considers them one cat. Basil (calico female) has one leg that is orange tabby, which may be why Everest (orange tabby male) adopted her as his favorite playmate! Everest is about 6 months old (DOB5/10/24) and he is Mr. Personality! He is VERY playful and friendly, and always happy to see his foster humans. He’s a pretty confident little guy, and loves getting love and attention from his foster mom when he isn’t engaged with Basil. Basil is about 7 months old (DOB about 4/1/24). She was found under a Good Samaritan’s porch and appears to be the last surviving member of her litter. Like most calicos, she is quirky. She plays HARD – especially with Everest but also with anything she thinks is a toy - but can be a little jumpy with new people and loud noises. She doesn’t seek out foster mom’s love, but when it is offered she usually melts into a purr puddle. They are negative for feline leukemia and aids, had all three distemper and the rabies vaccines, been wormed, had advantage for fleas, and been vet checked and neutered. May be adopted separately or as a pair (discount for two!) Preference will be given to local adopters and to adopters who have a young playmate companion for the kitten. We don’t think either kitten would do well as a solo pet, or that Basil would do well with most dogs.
