Ms. Boots's Story

From Ms. Boots: I’ve Been So Lonely… But I’m Ready to Love Again <br/><br/>Hi, I’m Ms. Boots — a quiet, gentle kitty with white-tipped paws and a heart that’s been through more than most.<br/><br/>Not long ago, I had a person I loved very much and I even had a German Shepherd doggie friend. My whole world was quiet, soft, and safe — until one day, everything changed. My person passed away suddenly… and just like that, I was all alone.<br/><br/>Then the floods came.<br/><br/>I was stranded in the house, surrounded by silence and shadows, wondering where my person had gone and why no one came for me. Every few days, a lady would stop by to feed me. But she didn’t like cats — especially not scared, grieving ones like me. She didn’t speak kindly. She moved too fast and would even smack me. She frightened me more than I already was.<br/><br/>I thought maybe love was gone forever.<br/><br/>But now… things are different. I’ve been given a second chance. I’m in a safe, calm place. And I’ve slowly started to remember what it feels like to trust again.<br/><br/>I might not be the kind of cat who jumps into your arms, but I will curl up near you. I will lean in for pets. I’ll sit beside you for as long as you’ll let me — soaking in the love I’ve missed so much. I’m quiet, sweet, and so, so ready to belong again.<br/><br/>If you have a peaceful heart and a gentle hand, I’ll meet you there.<br/>I’m Ms. Boots — and I’m finally ready to go home.<br/><br/>With love,<br/>Ms. Boots<br/><br/><br/>If you would like to meet your new best friend, 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.

From Ms. Boots: I’ve Been So Lonely… But I’m Ready to Love Again

Hi, I’m Ms. Boots — a quiet, gentle kitty with white-tipped paws and a heart that’s been through more than most.

Not long ago, I had a person I loved very much and I even had a German Shepherd doggie friend. My whole world was quiet, soft, and safe — until one day, everything changed. My person passed away suddenly… and just like that, I was all alone.

Then the floods came.

I was stranded in the house, surrounded by silence and shadows, wondering where my person had gone and why no one came for me. Every few days, a lady would stop by to feed me. But she didn’t like cats — especially not scared, grieving ones like me. She didn’t speak kindly. She moved too fast and would even smack me. She frightened me more than I already was.

I thought maybe love was gone forever.

But now… things are different. I’ve been given a second chance. I’m in a safe, calm place. And I’ve slowly started to remember what it feels li

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>
