She’s feeling 100x better now and has even been enjoying puppy play groups in the back fenced area! Emmy is ready to meet her new family. Is that you?

😽🚨 WORKING CAT WEDNESDAY 🚨😽Echo and Gato are working cats, also known as barn cats, that need a home and a job assignment. Their salary requirements are daily access to fresh food and water and 24-hour access to a shelter such as a barn, warehouse, greenhouse, or winery. In exchange they provide environmentally friendly rodent control. Barn Cats work best in pairs of two, Echo and Gato came in together and would love to stay together. Their adoption fee is $0 and includes; Spay/Neuter, Vaccinations, Dewormed, and Flea Treated (if needed). Please consider adopting a Working Cat. They aren’t people friendly and don’t want to share their lives with us but excel at being on patrol for random critters! If you’re interested in adopting a working cat please fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org or call 865-273-3751.#workingcatwednesday #feralcats #barncats #mousepatrol #workingcats ...

😺💙 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 💙😺Meow. Meowwww. Hi humans, my name is Kylie. No, not THAT Kylie.. but I do know a thing or two about beauty. Just look at my pretty face. As a pretty little lady I naturally enjoy the finer things in life, so I have a short list of requests for my new home. I dislike 💩’ing in a plastic box, so I will need an all natural wood litter box. I require a lobster pate on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and a Salmon Pate every Tuesday and Thursday. They should be all organic, fat-free, sugar-free, gluten-free, non-GMO, grass fed served on fine Vera Wang China. I will need exactly a 6ft 3inch cat tree in my own baby pink room, with plenty of dusty pink curtains for me to destroy. Okay okay, I’m kidding!! I really just want someone to adopt me and love me. Isn’t that simple? I’m about 2 years old, spayed, and up to date on vaccines. I came in with my cheesy pal Chester, so I wouldn’t mind a home with him but it’s not a requirement. Like the lobster isn’t a requirement. MOL *meow out load* If you wanna be my new family apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt or call 865-273-3751. Come see me Saturday 12-4pm at 410 Home Avenue!! ... See MoreSee Less

💗😽 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 😽💗 Hey peeps! My name is Guido and I’m a foodaholic. I’m in the market for a new home, and probably a diet. I mean don’t get me wrong I don’t mind being a fat cat, sometimes I like to throw my weight around to get my way, but the cat doctor wants me to lose a few pounds. I’m weighing in at 14 pounds right now. Do you think you might be the one to go on a diet with me? It’s the buddy system right! Also being a fat cat I really love to just hang out in your lap, so if you want a big snuggly man cat look no further than Guido. That’s me, Guido. I’m chilling at the MAARC Cat Adoption Center, so if ya wanna come see me call 865-273-3751 or apply online at www.maarcadopt.org.

💗🐾 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🐾💗 Gladys came to us in pretty poor condition. She has spent quite a few weeks at our vet getting healthier, part of which was removing a mass cell tumor. This super sweet mellow boxer girl is 10 years old, and while we wish we could tell you she has many happy years ahead of her we obviously can’t tell you that. What we can tell you is that Gladys deserves to spend the rest of her life, however long that may be, in a loving family and home. So we ask that you dig deep and ask yourself if you have that special quality to allow you to open your arms to Gladys. These dogs absolutely know that they’ve been rescued and the love they show will stay with you for years after. Let’s get Gladys out of the shelter and into a home! Call or text Al at 865-221-5767 or apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
🐾💗 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 💗🐾 Introducing Tuna! Tuna was surrendered when his family was moving away, but fortunately they gave us great information about him to help find the perfect spot. We don’t typically breed label, but we think Tuna is a Manchester Terrier. He is around 15-20 pounds (2lbs of that is EARS!) 🙂 so a bit bigger than a Miniature Pinscher. We are told that Tuna loves to snuggle and cuddle, and he loves soft plush toys. He is said to know many commands including sit, stay, turn, and shake. He should not be in a home with cats, but he does well with other dogs after proper introductions, and loves kids. Tuna appears young, maybe 2-4 years old. He is neutered and up to date on shots. Are you the perfect family for Tuna? Apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt or call or text Al at 865-221-5767. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
This poor cat arrived on Saturday. We’re callin This poor cat arrived on Saturday. We’re calling him Fox. As you can see, he is very ill. No energy to groom himself, drooling from the mouth, and in general, in very poor condition. MAARC gives kudos to the person who attempted to care for this poor soul. Sometimes, it’s more than people can handle or bear. So, this kitty is a MAARC responsibility now. He has spent the last 2 days at the vet for extensive bloodwork, lab work, grooming, etc, so we can deduce what challenges lie ahead for him. His eyes have a story to tell, which we’ll likely never know. Our hope is that he will re-discover what its like to be loved and cared for. In the meantime, while all the tests are being run, Fox enjoys a soft pillow with a pillowcase, loves turkey flavored food, and meows with no sound. If anyone has an affinity for the felines and is willing to contribute appropriate care, OR if anyone would like to donate specifically to Fox’s care....we will gladly accept.
