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 Gaston, and I have just one little favor to ask—could you make room in your heart and home for me and my sister, Bella? She’s my best friend, my partner in crime, and honestly, I can’t imagine life without her. We’re a package deal, but don’t worry—we’re worth it!
Bella is the outgoing one. She’s always up for exploring new places and charming everyone she meets. Me? Well, I’m a bit of a lovebug who craves attention 24/7. Seriously, if you’ve got a free hand, I’ll gladly take all the pets, scratches, and love you can give.
We’re only a year old, so we’re still full of kitten-like energy and love to play. Jumping on things? Yeah, we do that—it’s kind of our thing. But hey, with a little patience (and maybe a few cat trees), we promise to keep things fun and exciting. Just don’t expect us to love being picked up—that’s not really our vibe.
We’ve lived with dogs before, and we’re open to trying it again. Other cats? Who knows! But we’d do best with older kids who get our boundaries.
We lost our first home when our person got overwhelmed with too many pets, and now we’re hoping to find someone who understands just how special we are—together. Bella and I are bonded, and separating us would break both our hearts.
So, what do you say? Two mushy-faced, lovable, playful kitties looking for a forever family—sound like a good deal? I promise, Bella and I will bring so much love and joy into your life.
Patiently waiting, Gaston & Bella
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.
