Simon - Pending - NEEDS HOME BY MID-JUNE!!!

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.  Hey there. Name’s Simon.Yes, that Simon — the big, fluffy orange dreamboat you’ve heard about. Some folks call me a gentle giant. Others say I’m like a warm loaf of bread that purrs. I don’t argue. I’m a lover, not a fighter. Always have been. For seven sweet years, I’ve had a simple, happy life. Naps. Snacks. Love. And my sister Gizmo, of course — my dramatic, curvy queen. She keeps things interesting. We’ve never been apart. Ever. But now… everything is changing. Our home is going away. Not because we did anything wrong — we’re perfect angels, thank you — but because life threw us a curveball. And now we have to find a new place to land by mid-June, or we’re out of options. Me? I’m easy. I get along with other cats, and even dogs don’t bother me — I’m chill like that. I settle in quick, make myself at home, and will steal your heart faster than you can say “who’s a good boy?” (Spoiler: it’s me.) I’ll rub my giant head on your arm, plop down beside you, and remind you why cats are better than therapy. Now, about Gizmo. She’s got opinions. But she’s my sister, and I love her. She says she’ll consider being adopted without me if she absolutely must, but if I had a choice? I’d pick staying with her — as long as there are at least two laps involved (Gizmo says she wants her own lap.) So here I am — a big, buttery-soft, orange cat with a heart that doesn’t know how to stop loving. Looking for someone who wants a loyal companion, a soft paw on their knee, and the world’s best snuggles. Is that you? I’ll be waiting. Warmly (and probably lying on your clean laundry),Simon Needs a home by mid-June — bonus points if it’s with Gizmo*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
