6. Raj
Female · Extra-Toes Cat (Hemingway Polydactyl) / Bombay / Mixed (short coat)






Hi everyone, this is Raj!
Raj is a regal, sleek, polydactyl cat, who loves nothing more than a scratch under the chin and a toy to play with. She is incredible pest control, and she loves catching every bug that might enter her domain. She is vocal and isn’t afraid to speak her mind! Although she uses her voice to ask for pets, she is independent and doesn’t yowl for attention or late at night. She has befriended a dog in her home, and would do well in a home with either dogs or other cats.
7. Aries
Female · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)




Meet Aries!
Aries is known for being the bravest of the zodiacs, and this kitten certainly lives up to her name! She is the first to walk into a new situation with curiosity. She’s spunky, outgoing, loves being pet, snuggling up on a lap for nap time, is playful, and has the cutest meow you ever did hear. She would do great in a home with children and other pets. She also is great at pest control, and has freed her foster mom’s house of any bugs that sneak through the crack under the door.
8. Slinky
Female · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)





Meet Slinky! She is a sweet girl who loves a good pet, and will prove it with her strong purr, and sing-song meows. She is a little shy at first, but once acquainted with someone, is very loving and will come lay on your lap anytime you sit down. Slinky loves other cats, and would probably do best in a home with other cats, since she follows her sisters around everywhere! She has a lot to say, and says it proudly! She is the reason her mother, aunt, and sisters were all rescued in the dark forests of the Smoky Mountains. She used her strong voice to draw attention to the crew. Not only is she sweet, she's also a hero!
9. Bonsail
Female · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair (short coat)






Jill Coffey Kelley
Everyone, this is Bonsai!
Read more about Bonsail
She is a sweet girl that is just getting used to being loved and cared for. She loves to snuggle with her sisters, play with toys, and eat all the delicious treats her foster mom gives her! She is also getting more used to pets and cant help but purrrrr when she's getting her chin scratched. She is the smallest of her litter, but is mighty and graceful! She would do best in a quiet home, with someone who would be willing to take the time to make her feel comfortable and come out of her shell. She is also more confident around her sisters, so would also probably do best ina. home with other, kind cats! Although she is shy, she is never spicy, and given enough time, will come lay on your lap while you read a book.
10. Burdock
Female · Bombay / Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat)




Meet Burdock!
Burdock is named after the seeds that stick to your clothes when you walk by- the seed that inspired the famous velcro design! She absolutely loves to snuggle, especially under the blanket while you are hanging out on the couch. She is playful, loves her sisters and would likely get along with other cats, and attaches quickly to whatever human is in her vicinity.
She would do well in a home with a family who loves giving love.
11. Benny
Male · Tabby / Mixed (short coat)






Meet Benny
He is almost 6mths old orange tabby, neutered and up to date on shots. He loves to play with leaves, other kitties and dogs as well. He pays no mind to my free range chickens when he is outside. He loves the outdoors as much as he loves coming inside, getting cuddles and just chilling. He is litter box trained and enjoys sleeping on the bed!
12. Easter
Female · Tortoiseshell / Mixed (short coat)



Calling all Tortie lovers!
Baby Ester is my newest trash to treasure rescue. She is litterbox trained and has had her first round of shots, dewormer, and flea treatment. Spay will be scheduled. She is approximately four months old and weighed 3.4 lbs about a month ago.
Ester is very affectionate and loves to snuggle. She is very social and plays well with other kitties. She is also very docile and nurturing to smaller cats. She has been exposed to a large dog but prefers to stay away.
13. Daphne
Young · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed


Daphne Daphne is one of the adorable tuxie girls from the Frasier and Friends litter! While her brothers have already been adopted, Daphne is still waiting for her forever family to find her. She can be adopted with her sister Roz or separately—whatever home is the perfect fit for this sweet girl! Could Daphne be the newest addition to your family?For more information on Daphne, send Jenn a text at 865-599-7304 and apply at maarcadopt.org/adoption-application

14. Wilfie & Winnie
Kitten · Male · Tabby (medium coat)




HI! Hi hi hi! It's me, Wilfie!
Did you hear me? Everybody usually hears me!I'm a gray and tan tabby, six months old and full of things to say. Some people call it talking. I call it communicating. When I say "Hi!", I mean hi. When I say "Mrrrow!" around dinnertime, I mean it's time to eat, right now, please and thank you. I'm not hard to figure out!
My sister Winnie and I started out on a farm in rural Tennessee. At eight weeks old, we came to our first home together, and we've been indoor adventurers ever since. And adventures are my specialty.
Got a box? I'm in it. A tunnel? I'll zoom through it ten times.
Read more about Wilfie & Winnie
Something brand-new that just showed up? I've already sniffed it, batted it, and decided whether it's a toy. (It's usually a toy.) My favorite thing in the whole world is a fishing pole toy. Wave it around and watch me pounce, leap, and grab! I also love kick toys that I can hug tight and bunny-kick into next week. I don't miss a thing. Not one single thing!
But here's a secret: I'm a big snuggler too. I love hanging out with my family, wherever the action is. I like being held, and I really like rubs and pets. If you're scratching my chin, you've got a friend for life.
And Winnie, well, she's my best buddy. We roughhouse like champions, and then we flop down and hang out like nothing happened. If I can't see her, I go find her. Even a tough guy like me needs his sister. Sometimes we each like a little alone time too, but we always end up back together.
Our family's life changed, and they can't give us all the love and playtime we need anymore. So I'm saying it loud and clear, because that's how I say everything: we need a forever family! One with laps for snuggling, toys for chasing, and room in their hearts for TWO.
Love,Wilfie & Winnie
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.

15. Winnie & Wilfie
Kitten · Female · Tabby (medium coat)




Hello there, friend. I'm Winnie. Please excuse me if I peek at you from behind the couch first. That's just how I say hello.
I'm a gray and silver tabby, six months old, with stripes that shimmer a little when the sunlight finds them. My brother Wilfie and I were born on a farm in the rolling hills of rural Tennessee. When we were just eight weeks old, we rode off to our very first home together. We've been indoor kitties ever since, and I think the indoors suits me just fine.
I'm a quiet girl, but I notice everything: the flutter of a curtain, the crinkle of a new bag, the way the light moves across the floor in the afternoon.
Read more about Winnie & Wilfie
If something new comes into the house, I'll be there, a little cautious at first, to give it a thorough inspection. Curiosity is my favorite hobby, right after napping.
And oh, the napping! My favorite spot is the very top of the cat tree, where I can keep watch over my whole kingdom. I also love a good hiding place: a cozy corner, a nook under a blanket, anywhere snug and secret. If you can't find me, I'm probably dreaming somewhere close by.
I do love attention, especially gentle pets once I know you. I also like my quiet time, and I'm happiest with a family who lets me come to them in my own sweet way. I promise the wait is worth it.
Then there's Wilfie. He's loud and bouncy and sometimes a bit much, but he's my Wilfie. We wrestle and chase and tumble until we're both worn out, and then we curl up together like we've always done. When he wanders out of sight, I go looking for him. And I know he does the same for me.
Our family had a change in their lives, and they can't give us the time and love we need anymore. So I'm asking, very softly, the way I ask for most things: will you keep us together? I'd love to find my forever spot at the top of your cat tree.
Love,Winnie & Wilfie

16. Iskra
Female · Tortoiseshell / Mixed (medium coat)





I'm Iskra! Tortitude? Never heard of it! Even though I am a tortie, you wouldn't know it by my personality. I am a quieter, calmer, more sensitive kitten than my brother Wyx and sister Sorel. I still play and explore, and I'm very inquisitive, but I am happiest when being held and pet. I'm scared of dogs with lots of energy, but a calm canine companion would be alright with me! I also get along with all other cats, and like napping with my foster friends! My favorite is climbing, and even when I was really small I was scaling 6 foot cat trees and climbing anything I could. I am hoping for a nice forever home with people who are looking for a kitty with a poet's soul.
17. Wyx
Male · Tuxedo / Mixed (long coat)







Meet Wyx!
A Goofy Little Guy with a BIG Personality!
Well, hello there! My name is Wyx, and I'm a fun-loving, silly little kitten with a whole lot of personality and an even bigger heart!
My foster family says I'm destined to become someone's beloved little boy, and I couldn't agree more! I'm goofy, adventurous, affectionate, and always ready to make you smile with my silly antics.
Playtime is my absolute favorite! Whether I'm chasing toys, pouncing on unsuspecting furry friends, or simply watching all the excitement around me, there's never a dull moment when I'm nearby!
Read more about Wyx
I'm quite a bit bigger than my sisters, Iskra and Sorel, and I'm definitely the brave one of the bunch! I'm not afraid to invite anyone to play, even the grumpiest older cats or the family dog! Sometimes they don't appreciate my enthusiasm, but I just think everyone should have a little more fun!
I absolutely love attention and spending time with my people, but I'm also perfectly capable of entertaining myself. Give me a few toys, and I'll create my own adventures!
Life with my foster family has been wonderful, but there's one thing missing — a forever family to call my very own. ❤️
If you're looking for a playful, confident, affectionate little companion who will fill your home with laughter, love, and endless entertainment, I just might be your perfect match!
Could you be my forever family?

Female · Torbie / Mixed (medium coat)





Meet Sorel – A Little Torbie with a BIG Personality!
Hello, world! My name is Sorel, and I'm a beautiful little torbie — that's a fabulous combination of tortoiseshell and tabby!
Not only do I have gorgeous, one-of-a-kind markings, but I also have a personality that's just as colorful! I'm a playful, spunky little girl with LOTS to say!
I'm quite the chatterbox, and I love telling everyone what's on my mind. Sometimes I even yell at my toys while I'm pouncing on them! After all, those silly toys need to know who's boss!
Read more about Sorel
I'm a social little sweetheart who would absolutely love to be adopted with another kitten or join a family that already has feline friends. I even get along with dogs! They can be a little intimidating when you're as tiny as I am, but I'm learning to be brave!
Right now, I'm enjoying foster life with my sister Iskra and my brother Wyx. We're having a wonderful time growing, playing, and discovering the world together!
✨ My dream home? A loving family with plenty of toys, furry friends, and people who appreciate a little girl with a BIG voice and an even BIGGER heart!
Could I be your newest family member?

Hi, my name is MJ. I am an adorable short hair, brown tabby, male kitten. I am friendly, playful, outgoing, and loving. I like dogs, cats, and people.

Now I am a strong, happy, healthy kitten and ready for my forever home. She thinks I might like to be a lap cat when I grow up.

Adopting a cat in Graham County
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
