Tot is just under a year old, neutered and up to date on shots. For more information on Tot please call 865-599-7304 or call 865-273-3751.

Maryville/Alcoa Animal Rescue Center

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.

Many thanks to those who have already donated!

😽❤️ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC ❤️😽 Rascal is named appropriately, as rascal is the best way to describe his personality. He was surrendered at the age of 12 after his owner became ill. It took him a bit to warm up to us, but now his full personality is coming out. Rascal loves being brushed and he is very happy cuddled up under a blanket. He is a large long haired cat, so very handsome!

🐾❤️ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC ❤️🐾 Introducing Miss Princess. Princess was surrendered to the shelter shortly before christmas when her owner became homeless. A heartbreaking situation for all. She was reported to be 13 years old, although we feel she is more like 8-10 years. She is super playful with plenty of energy and is in very good health, minus a cataract in her left eye that doesn’t slow her down one bit. Princess is spayed and up to date on shots, and weighs about 20 pounds. She doesn’t seem phased by other dogs or cats, and would do fine with older children. If you’re interested in Princess call 865-273-3751 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
😺❤️ WANTED: SPECIAL ADOPTER FOR A SPECIAL C 😺❤️ WANTED: SPECIAL ADOPTER FOR A SPECIAL CAT ❤️😺 Meow Meow was sadly surrendered to the shelter when her owner became sick, which left Meow Meow traumatized for several days where all she would do was hide in her kennel softly crying “Meow.. Meow.. ” Fast forward to now where Meow Meow is a regular little lovebug who craves pets. Meow Meow is a special senior at 12 years old. Are you the one to give her the calm loving retirement home she so craves?

Lots of love for Xander!! He’s chillin in his su Lots of love for Xander!! He’s chillin in his sunroom enjoying life in his new furever home and this is an update from his family: “He’s doing great... his name is now Toby. He craves attention so we give it! He goes to everyone who comes in and talks to them and he rules the house. The dogs are interested but they steer clear. He rubs up against our older dog though. Happy new year and it was our pleasure (adopting him) He is a nice addition to our quirky empty nest!” #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
