Our Adoptable Pet List



~We have the most beautiful cats!~ (and some really cute dogs, too!)

All are fully vetted (spayed/neutered, FeLV/FIV neg., Vet. checked, fully vaccinated, de-wormed, flea treated, bathed, groomed & nail trimmed).

Our cats are in TOP HEALTH, completely litterbox trained and deserve a great forever home. We have all breeds and ages, long hair, short hair & some already declawed cats. Our adoption fee's range from $35 and up (depending on what our costs were to Vet the cat). The adoption fee is reduced even further when you choose to adopt kitten siblings or a bonded adult pair to the same home.

Our rescued dogs are also fully vetted and all very special. (Most of them live with cats, so they have to be.)

We are a no-kill rescue, when you adopt from us, you save two lives - the one you take home and the one that takes it's place.

Who We Are

C.A.A. / A Home for Cats is a small, self-funded, 501(c)(3) non- profit rescue organization located in Chattanooga, TN. We are a no-kill rescue, once we commit to taking in an animal, it stays with us until a new home is found. Ours is an all-volunteer organization and the money needed to care for the pets we rescue comes our of our own pockets. Each "Foster Parent" is responsible for the Veterinary and day to day costs of caring for the animal until adopted. Our adoption fees range from $35 - $125 depending on age, breed and Veterinary expense, however this usually does not cover the significant costs involved, which include traveling to pick up a pet in need, providing veterinary care, vaccinations, flea and worm treatment, having it spayed or neutered, FeLV/FIV tested, giving it any training necessary, and helping to socialize, house and feed it. We welcome public dontaions and they are tax deductable. 100% of donated funds go towards the spay/neuter, feeding and housing of our rescued pets.

Our mission is to save as many pets as possible through fostering, socializing, spay/neuter, vaccinations, medical care and adopting them to forever homes. We strive to promote public awareness about the importance of spay/neuter, keeping pets safely indoors and why declawing is inhumane. More info at www.declawing.com . On a limited basis stray and abandoned pets and those rescued from kill shelters are kept uncaged in a home setting until adopted. Because of the interaction in a normal home environment, we are able to acquire insight into the pets' personalities and temperaments. Matching the pets personality to the needs and expectations of the prospective owner is of primary concern in any adoption. Our available pets can be seen at portable adoptions and appointments for visiting the pets in the foster homes can be scheduled.

NOTICE: We do not ship our pets. We require that they be picked up here in Chattanooga, TN by the adopter.

We have lots of wonderful pets that are waiting on their forever home to come along, they've all been rescued from kill shelters or were strays. If you are looking for a wonderful companion that will bring you more joy than you ever imagined, consider adopting a rescued cat, dog or critter. Our area shelters are overflowing with pets and most of them don't make it out alive. Please don't breed or buy while others die.



Always spay or neuter your pets! For information on low cost spay neuter certificates, contact C.A.R.E at 894-4926 or email them at spayallpets@aol.com. Most area vets take the certificates, you pay at the time of the procedure.

Thank you to CARE and a big THANK YOU to the vets that participate in this program.




2010 was a great year.
I want to thank everyone who opened their hearts and homes to our rescued pets by making them a permanent part of their family and to those that donated funds or items to our cause. Adoptions and donations help us to keep doing the important, life-saving work we do and without it, many pets would have died in shelters and on the streets.


We also appreciate the valuable help of others in our community.

Animal Hospital of Signal Mountain has been kind enough to help us with the Veterinary needs of all of our rescued pets. Without them, saving the pets we do would not be possible. The doctors and staff are friendly, knowledgable and always treat us with kindness and respect. Animal Hospital of Signal Mountain, 1801 Taft Highway, Signal Mtn., TN 37377. Phone: (423) 886-7387.

Genie at Adorable Pets adds to the health and beauty of our rescued pets by offering her services as a professional groomer. Adorable Pets grooms both cats and dogs and also provides boarding services. It's a warm and friendly place where you can rest assured you pet will receive excellent care. They also offer a pick-up and delivery service for pet grooming/boarding.

We welcome donations in any form. Adoption fees help, but in no way cover all the expenses assocaited with the costs involved in saving these pets lives. All donations go towards the care of the pets we have available for adoption and also toward the long term care of the special needs pets that have come our way and have little chance of ever being adopted. These special pets have become residents of A Home for Cats and will live out their lives here. They receive everything necessary to ensure a happy and healthy life.

We can always use blankets, towels, pillow cases, cleaning supplies, (laundry detergent, bleach, paper towels,all purpose cleaner) cat toys, cat furniture, cat beds, treats, food - dry or canned and litter. Email us and we are happy to pick up anything you would like to donate. You may also easily send monetary donations via PayPal by clicking on the "Donate Now" button below. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductable as allowed by law. Thank you for thinking of us!
