Toby & Milo

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.  Hi there… I’m Toby. I’m a Russian Blue kitten, and the other guy you see snuggled up next to me — that’s my brother, Milo. He’s got this tiny little patch of white on his chest that I tease him about sometimes… but between you and me, I think it makes him look pretty cool. Milo and I have been through a lot in our short lives. We were born outside to our mama, Victoria. She was strong, loving, and did everything she could to protect us. There were six of us at the beginning… six tiny kittens trying to survive in a world that didn’t care we were small and helpless. One by one, we lost our siblings to things I still don’t understand. Somehow, by some miracle, Milo and I made it. Just the two of us. Now we’re about twelve weeks old, and even though we came from something really hard, we’ve learned how to play, how to love, and how to trust. We wrestle, we chase each other, and we curl up in little gray piles when we nap. I’m a bit more observant — the thinker. Milo’s the bold one — he dives headfirst into everything and somehow makes it look cool. We balance each other perfectly. We are little cuddle bugs that love to sleep and be with our people. We’ve been side by side through every scary noise, every cold night, every bit of hope. And now, we need one last miracle — a forever home. But not just any home. A home together. We’ve already lost too much. Please don’t make us lose each other. If you’ve got space for two soft, silly boys with a whole lot of love to give, we promise to fill your days with purrs, play, and gratitude. With all our hearts,Toby (and Milo, too) Forever brothers. Forever together. *Due to our size, no small children. 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. Unless otherwise noted, all Almost Home cats are healthy, spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and flea & tick preventative. ****When puppies and kittens are adopted before being fixed, they MUST be adopted in East Tennessee.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 6, 2025, 1:21 am
