Snowshoe kittens & cats in Knoxville, 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... I’m Marshmallow, a snowshoe Siamese with the prettiest blue eyes (or so I’m told). My friend, Mary, a sweet calico, is right here with me. We can be adopted together or apart. Things have been hard for us lately—our human had to move into assisted living, and now we’re searching for a new home, together, if possible. We don’t want much, just a safe, quiet place where we can heal and feel loved again. I’m a bit shy, but I like to think I have an independent charm. Once I feel safe, I’ll show you just how sweet I can be! Mary, my calico friend, is even more reserved when it comes to people, but don’t let that fool you—she adores other cats. She’s always been the best companion to them, and with time, she may open up a little more to humans too. Right now, she’s still trying to make sense of all that’s happened. It’s been tough losing our home and our person, but we haven’t lost hope. We know we may not be the first to leap into your lap or ask for belly rubs, but we promise, we bring a quiet beauty and grace to any home that will have us. We’re desperate for a place where we can feel safe again, where we can be ourselves without feeling scared. Please, if you have room in your heart for two girls who need a second chance, we’d love nothing more than to share our gentle presence with you. Winks and Love,Marshmallow 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 1, 2024, 8:13 pm

Wanted a very special home. Meet Leche. she is a gorgeous six month old Siamese. She is very shy and timid. She needs a home that can give her attention but yet be patient with her. She’s very food motivated and she loves to be petted while she is eating. But as of right now that’s the only time she likes to be petted. She does love to be talked to and adored from afar. Actually, she loves your company and she loves to be near you And I think with lots of love and in the right home, she will end up making an excellent pet. I think that she would do best with adults. She seems to like quietness she absolutely loves cats and she tolerates my dog so she would be great with other pets. So if you’re looking for a companion, that really doesn’t ask a lot from you, Leche would be perfect. She will be available for adoption after November 25.November 6, 2024, 8:16 am

Dior was adopted from Young-Williams on Labor Day. He is a sweet cat. He does get stressed when we are going for travel so he would probably do better in a home where people do not travel as much as we do... I will also be including his litterbox, toys, etc since my grandchildren are allergic :( to cats.
