My story

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 there. My name is Gizmo, and yes — I’m aware I’m a little… voluptuous. I prefer the term “luxuriously fluffy” or “extra huggable,” but either way, I am what I am: a big baby in every sense of the word. I’m 7 years young, and right now, my world is turning upside down. I’m losing my home — not because I did anything wrong, but because sometimes life just isn’t fair. I need to find a new family, a safe and loving lap (or two) by mid-June. And if you’ve ever seen a cat worry, trust me… I’m worrying. I love to eat (obviously), play (yes, I still chase toys, thank you), and then repeat the process. I’m a professional lounger. A lap aficionado. A champion purr machine. I get along with other kitties and dogs just fine, but my dream is to have a home — and a human — all to myself. Someone who will adore me, feed me snacks, and tell me how cute I am 47 times a day. Now, I do have a brother named Simon. He’s a big, fluffy orange goofball. Very chill. He’s the kind of guy who could be happy just about anywhere — but me? I’m a little more particular. Still, if there’s room in your heart (and your lap), I wouldn’t mind bringing Simon along. He’s always been there with me. I just ask that, if we come as a pair, there are multiple laps available at all times. Please… I don’t want to be left behind. I’ve got so much love to give and so many snuggles to share. I just need someone to give me a chance. Love (and snacks),Gizmo Needs a home by mid-June — preferably with Simon, but definitely with love.*GUEST POSTING* 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.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. June 1, 2025, 4:56 pm
