Polydactyl kittens & cats in Maryville, Tennessee

Almost Home believes that every animal deserves a loving home regardless of appearance, age, or physical limitation.  We have come together to give animals in need the safe and happy life they all deserve.  Almost Home Animal Rescue believes that no animal is expendable.  Adopting a friend:The animals, lucky enough to find refuge with Almost Home, are all in loving foster homes. 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.  Hi there! We're Eddie and Gabe, two dashing Maine Coon brothers looking for a new place to call home—together, of course. You see, our human had to move into assisted living, and we couldn't go with her. We've always been around other kitties and people, and we miss having a cozy spot and a loving family to snuggle with. I'm Eddie, the one with the more white fur and my brother Gabe here has more brown in his coat. We may be eight years old, but we've got plenty of love to give! We’re gentle and sweet. We’ve lived with other cats who don’t have FIV, and guess what? They’re perfectly healthy! FIV isn’t the big deal some people think it is. As long as we don’t get into major scuffles (which we never do), we can live happily with other cats. Most rescues up north don’t even test for it anymore! All we want is a calm, quiet home where we can keep each other company—and maybe get some nice ear scratches from you, too! If you’ve got room in your heart and home for two loving boys like us, we promise to make it worth your while. Come meet us, and you’ll see! Cuddles,Eddie & Gabe If you would like to meet your new best friends, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830. To fill out an application, go to www.almosthometn.org. If you cannot get it to work, let us know and we will email it to you in a different format. Unless otherwise noted, all Almost Home cats are healthy, spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and flea & tick preventative.ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for a cat is $85. The adoption fee for a kitten is $100. The adoption fee does include the kittens being fixed and their rabies shot when they are old enough through one of our local vets. The adoption fee for a dog is $200. The adoption fee for a puppy is $250. The adoption fee does include the puppies being fixed and their rabies shot when they are old enough through one of our local vets. Mature pet adoption fees are sometimes reduced. The adoption fee for pure bred dogs and cats will vary due to health and age of pet. This helps support our ill animals and our mutts that get left in the system longer. We do reserve the right to change the fees higher or lower due to the circumstance of the animal but what was stated above are the usual adoption fees.  Microchipped pets will have a higher adoption fee.  Our adoption fees do not cover the cost of the vetting and care the animal has received with us and if it ever does, the money just goes back it to helping other animals in need. November 1, 2024, 8:13 pm

My brother Eddie (he’s the one with more white fur) and I are in search of a cozy, calm home where we can stay together. We’ve been through a lot recently—our human had to move into assisted living, and we had to say goodbye. It's been hard, and we really miss having a family to love us. I won’t lie, we’re pretty desperate for a fresh start, but we know there's someone out there who’ll open their heart to us. We’re eight years old, but that just means we’ve perfected the art of being the best companions! We love being around other kitties and people, and we never cause a fuss. We’re not fighters—just lovers, really—so even though we’re FIV-positive, it’s no big deal. The other cats we lived with didn’t get it, and most places up north don’t even test for it anymore. We just need someone who understands that love matters more than any label. Eddie and I are a package deal—we’ve always been together, and we can’t imagine life any other way. We’re ready to bring warmth, purrs, and a whole lot of sweetness to a new home. If you’ve got room for two loving brothers who just want to feel safe and cherished again, we’d be forever grateful. Come meet us, and let us show you how much we’ve been saving up all our love for you!

One day, I dared to walk right into a stranger’s house through an open door. I was hoping for a warm welcome (and maybe a snack!), but they weren’t as thrilled as I was. Next thing I knew, I was at the shelter, wondering what went wrong. Thankfully, my guardian angel came and whisked me away, knowing I just needed a chance to find someone who could love me as much as I love people. I’m a big boy—17 pounds of pure cuddle power—and I love to be the center of attention. In fact, being the star of the show is kind of my thing! If you’re around, I’ll be right there, ready for some head scratches or a cozy spot next to or on you. I’m told I’m very handsome, and I do my best to keep up that charm, because, honestly, I just want to be loved. My foster mom hasn't been able to test me with other cats, so she's not sure how I’d do with them, but I’ve done well with dogs! At 6.5 years old, I’m just the right age—mature enough to appreciate a good nap but still young enough for playtime. Could you be the one to give me a cozy, loving home where I can finally relax? I promise, I’ll make every day just a little brighter.
