Happy tails for FRIDAY on a Friday 😸💕😸

Anyone who frequented our cat rescue center at 410 Home Ave adored precious Friday! She was one of the most chill, affectionate gorgeous black beauties we’ve had for adoption. Little did she know her purrfect family had been following her as well as a couple other kitties on our FB page and decided to attend our open house last weekend and instantly fell in love with Friday! Here she is on adoption day as well as in her furever home where she is the center of attention and showered with affection! If you too are looking for your fabulous feline friend, come see us tomorrow at 410 Home Ave 12-4pm and meet our available adoptables!!! 💜🐾💜

😺💗 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC 💗😺

One of the hardest parts of rescue is seeing these seniors come in, alone and scared not understanding why they were left behind. Sweet, precious Goldie is a striking 12 yr young tortie girl. She is very vocal and rubs all over you wanting pets. We don’t know her history but at times doesn’t seem like she enjoys other cats around, so she probably would prefer being an only cat. Goldie is at our cat adoption center open Saturdays 12-4pm, or appointments available by application www.maarcadopt.org/adopt.

Utah is a young sweet, yet shy little boy. The person that spends the time getting to know Utah will be richly rewarded, as once Utah loves you he really loves you. He’s often caught poking his little head at the door of the cat room to catch glimpses of his favorite volunteers as they walk by. He keeps us all laughing with his funny little antics! Utah is just under a year old, neutered and up to date on shots. For more information on Utah please call 865-599-7304 or call 865-273-3751.

Jingle Bells🎼Jingle Bells🎤Jingle all the Way....

Oh Sweet Jingles. She is a 1 year old female tabby, gorgeous markings. She can be aloof, but sweet too, plus a low maintenance kitty as long as she’s the only cat!!! She would do best in a calmer home but she does have her social moments... she doesn’t like competing with other cats though. If you think Jingles might be your one and only call or text Cheryl at 865-755-5392. 

Jingles is a current Petsmart Resident 🐾

Poor Sissy was surrendered at 12 yrs old due to a new baby in the family. Her sad story doesn’t stop there though. She was so heartbroken that she didn’t eat for a week, we took her to the vet to get checked out but they found nothing wrong. We knew she wasn’t adjusting to shelter life so we moved her to a great foster home where she could just be a cat again without fear. Sissy is doing really well now. She still likes her safe space, usually under a chair but as soon as you call her name she is out and ready to be loved on. She is such a sweet girl, and her eyes seem to say “Please just love me.”

Just a couple days after Christmas, when there was Just a couple days after Christmas, when there was still snow on the ground, we received a call about a hypothermic cat that was found cold to the touch and listless. One of our volunteers rushed over to get her and take her to the vet, not at all sure she would make it in time. The vet found her to indeed be in hypothermia, as well as having a large abscess near her ear. They started on slowly raising her body temperature and told us if she made it through the night then they would develop a treatment plan. We decided to call her Eleven, a nod to Stranger Things. If she didn’t make it through the night we wanted her to at least have a name. So we waited.. barely cautiously optimistic. She stayed at the vet for over a week slowly improving, but still very very fragile. Once they had done all they could for her they released her back to us, although her prognosis wasn’t great. She was still very weak and barely eating. We knew she needed more round the clock care so one of our volunteers took her home for some tender loving care. Eleven is starting to eat more now, and enjoys a few light pets here and there. She still has a long road ahead to full health, but only good things are in her future now. 

Her care to date is around $650, so we really need to raise at least $500 to help us cover her costs. Can you pitch in and help us keep Eleven on the road to recovery?
