Russian Blue kittens & cats in Gatlinburg, 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.  Hello, world! My name is Mystic, and let me tell you—I’m ready to bring a little magic into your life! I’ve had quite the journey already. My last humans tried to sneak me into an apartment where pets weren’t allowed, and I almost ended up on the streets. But I’m not giving up on finding a real home—a stable, loving one where I can finally feel safe. I may be small, but I’ve got a big personality! I’m sweet and loving, but don’t be fooled—I’ve got a playful, sassy side too. Whether it’s batting at toys or zooming around with a burst of energy, I’m always up for some fun! I love attention (seriously, I can’t get enough). I'd love to have a kitty or doggie friend. Since I’m still young, I could get used to dogs if needed—though you’d better believe I’ll make sure I’m the star of the show! I’d also do great with older kids who know how to play with me and keep up with my energy. If you’re looking for a little enchantment in your life, I’m ready to cast my spell on you! I promise to fill your home with love, laughter, and just a dash of kitten mischief. Purrs and whisker kisses,Mystic If you would like to meet your new best friend(s), 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 14, 2024, 4:12 pm

Our names are Earl and Grey. Earl is all white and super soft, and has a small black patch on his head with a black line around his nose that looks like a mustache. He's so smart, unafraid, and loves to be picked up and getting his belly rubbed. Grey is pretty, a soft blue gray, and is such a sweet boy. Both of these brothers were found in the country together. They probably were abandoned. Earl found foster mom in her yard and meowed for attention! Grey was a reluctant fellow but is adapting well now. They were pronounced healthy and are neutered and had their shots. They are bonded together and should stay as a pair. Earl was the leader and protector of his little brother. Grey is probably the runt to his bigger brother due to he's smaller. The brothers were trying to survive outside together. Grey is trying to learn to allow being touched and is still nervous about it. He is learning to trust people again. He loves sniffing foster mom's fingers and licks them. With time and patience, he will give his heart to his new human friend, and when that happens it will be a blessing!. Anyone interested in these wonderful boys and has the patience to teach them what love and trust is? They are ready for you! Homes with small children may not be good for them at this time.November 6, 2024, 8:16 am

Hi, I’m Poblano! My foster parents named me after a mild pepper because when they first got me they thought I would be spicy, but I turned out to be really sweet! And now that I have learned how to be a good house kitty, I am ready to find my forever family. I still get nervous about sudden movements, so I would like a quieter home with no dogs or small children, but after a few days to adjust I get along well with other cats. I really enjoy being petted, and the only thing I like more are Churu treats. If you offer me one, I will love you forever, and I will use my paws to hold your hand still while I eat it! I also like playing with toy wands and sitting on top of cat trees. I have good litterbox manners, and my foster parents think I look like a model with my long legs and big eyes. I know I would be a great companion for someone! Will it be you?November 8, 2024, 11:53 am

Grey Cat was rescued during TNR. We originally thought she was feral, but discovered she actually likes pets! She will get in bed with you & make the greatest biscuits. She likes to follow her foster around & also play in her water dish.She was originally hissing & we discovered she is just afraid or does not like other cats. She needs to be the only cat to make her life happy.

Grayson has the most wonderful personality! She loves snuggling, petting, quiet play, and children. Shes great with her foster mommas grandkids. She sits with them for reading time and loves the way they carry her around! Grayson does like to be the center of attention and will grab your hand away from another if shes ready to be petted. If you would love to include a sweet, affectionate girl in your home, Grayson is it!
