Victoria

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.  hem. Hello. My name is Victoria — yes, that Victoria. Mother of Milo and Toby, the two gray little whirlwinds who never stop chasing tails or dreams. I'm told I’m a Russian Blue, but frankly, I think I’m more of a Russian Queen. Petite, dignified, elegant — and yes, I take my meals in a sunbeam, thank you very much. But before you get swept away by my royal charm, let me tell you: my life hasn’t been easy. I was living outside, fending for myself with six tiny babies to care for. I tried — oh, I tried — to keep them safe. I watched them get killed one by one, and my heart broke again and again. Only Milo and Toby made it, and let me tell you, they’ve inherited both my resilience and my taste for the finer things in life. (Which, in their case, is wrestling and kibble.) Someone was going to save my boys and leave me behind. I was okay with that but after all that heartbreak and hardship, I was finally brought inside along with my boys. And let me just say: indoor life is glorious. Heat vents. Air conditioner. Food bowls. Cushions. Humans who talk back when I meow — even if their accents are a little off. I’ve discovered I love people. I love chatting with them, rubbing up against their legs, curling up next to them for pets, and just being with them. I may have a queenly air, but I’m also a Grade A, top-shelf cuddle bug and behave like the royal lady I am. Playing and making biscuits in the air are also a couple of my favorite things to do. Now that I know what love feels like, I’m looking for a place to call my own — a kingdom, if you will, of just me and you. I’d prefer to be the only pet (I’ve had enough chaos, thank you), but I promise I’ll fill your home with enough charm, affection, and amusing monologues to make up for it. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a soft coat, a brave heart, and an impressive vocabulary of chirps and purrs… well, your Queen awaits. Yours regally (and snuggly),Victoria Now accepting subjects — er, applications — for my forever home. If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org. 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.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 9, 2025, 10:56 pm
