Cecil & Ernest's Story

Hi, I'm Cecil! <br/><br/>And this is my brother, Ernest. We are about three months old. We're a package deal, and honestly, that's the whole point of us.<br/><br/>We're black Bombay kittens, sleek and shiny like little panthers, and if you ask me, we're pretty darn handsome if we do say so ourselves. But looks aren't even the best part — the best part is that we're kittens through and through. We want adventure and mischief. Basically, we're ready to cause a little chaos and a lot of joy.<br/><br/>I'm the outgoing one. I'll march right up to you, headbutt your hand until you pet me, and turn into a full-blown cuddle bug the second you sit down. I don't really believe in strangers — just friends I haven't head-bonked yet.<br/><br/>Ernest is a little different. He's shy, and the world's still a bit big and scary to him some days. But he's coming around — every day he's a little braver, a little more willing to poke his nose out and see what's going on. He just needs someone patient enough to let him do it in his own time.<br/><br/>Here's the thing you really need to know about us, though: we can't be split up. If I wander somewhere Ernest can't see me, he cries. He really does. And the second he cries, I come running — every single time. It's just how we work. He's braver when I'm around, and I'm a little more grounded when he's near. We're better together, and honestly, we're a lot more fun that way too.<br/><br/>Our mama was a sweet semi-feral calico named Cordelia. She started hanging around a family's home, and they took care of her the best they could — until one day she showed up expecting kittens. That's how we came into the world, and into rescue. But here's the happy part: Cordelia gets her own happy ending too. She chose that home, and now she gets to stay there for good.<br/><br/>As for me and Ernest? We're still looking for our forever people. We come as a two-for-one deal of purrs, chaos, and cuddles — one bold, one bashful, both completely ready to steal your heart (and probably your favorite pen too).<br/><br/>If you've got room for double the trouble and double the love, we're ready when you are. <br/><br/>Love,<br/>Cecil & Ernest <br/><br/>*Due to size, no small children<br/>****When puppies and kittens are adopted before being fixed, they MUST be adopted in East Tennessee.<br/><br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Unless otherwise noted, all Almost Home cats are healthy, spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and flea & tick preventative.

Almost Home Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
<h3>Adopting a friend:</h3> 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. <hr> <h3>What you need to do to adopt:</h3> 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. <hr> <h3>Meet & Greets:</h3> 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.<hr> ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for a cat is $85.<hr> 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.<hr> The adoption fee for a dog is $200.<hr> 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.<hr> Mature pet adoption fees are sometimes reduced.<hr> 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.<hr> 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. <br><hr>
