Milo & Toby

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, I’m Milo — the one with the tiny white patch on my chest. People say it looks like a little star, and maybe they’re right… because somehow, through all the darkness, my brother Toby and I found our way to the light. We were born outside, under the watchful eye of our mama, Victoria. She was gentle and fierce all at once — the kind of mama who gave everything she had to keep us safe. There were six of us in the beginning… but the world outside isn’t kind to tiny kittens. One by one, we lost our siblings. I don’t remember all the details — just cold nights, scary sounds, and the way Mama would wrap herself around us like a blanket. In the end, it was just me and Toby. Now, we’re about twelve weeks old, and life feels very different. Warm. Safe. We’ve got full bellies, soft places to sleep, and toys — so many toys! Toby says I’m the bold one, the first to jump into new adventures. Maybe that’s true… but only because I know he’s right behind me. He’s my anchor. My shadow. My built-in best friend. We do everything together — chase, pounce, nap, repeat. I like to make him laugh with my silly leaps and sideways zoomies. He pretends I’m annoying, but he always follows me anyway. What we’re looking for now is simple: a forever home. But it has to be together. We've already lost too much in our little lives. Losing each other just isn't an option. So if your heart is big enough for two survivors who still believe in love and lap time… we’re here. Waiting. Hoping. With purrs and playful paws,Milo (and my brother, Toby) Two brothers. One unbreakable bond. *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, 1:43 am
