😺💜 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 💜😺

Purrrr. Purrr. Purr. Hi I’m Sissy, also known as a sassy sweet senior. I’m living in a foster home so they tell me it’s extra impawtent to get my face out there. I don’t benefit from the walk in traffic the shelter gets, but thats cause the humans there panicked just cause I went on a hunger strike. I swear ya shut down and refuse to eat for a week and everybody loses their erm.. faculties. But my little stunt landed me smack middle in da best foster home for sassy seniors like myself. This ain’t my first rodeo, I know how to get myself some better accommodations. But there are more cats where I came from that need this place too so I gotta get moving *breaks out in song*
🎤🎼 Well we’re movin’ on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky-yyyy-yyy.
Movin’ on up… 🎼🎤
Oops, I think I may have just shown my age. Just remember I’m a senior, not a corpse! I’m only 10 so I got soooo much life, and song, left in me. So adopt me okay? Oh and one more thing, I don’t really have to move up to the east side.. but I do gotta be your one and only kitty love. It’s better this way, trust me.
🎼🎤 Well we’re movin’ on up 🎤🎼....

Cat Crate Training Tips

How do you crate train a cat? First, buy a crate large enough so your cat can stand up, turn around and lie down comfortably. Put the crate on a stable surface and keep it open. Make it an inviting place: Put soft, comfy bedding inside and add treats inside the crate daily. If your cat likes catnip, you can add some of that or a small catnip toy. Watch to see if the crate becomes a place in which your cat naps or grooms.

😺💗 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC 💗😺

Hi people. My name is Goldie and I’m a beautiful senior girl. Seniors make the best pets. We just find a lap and snuggle down for a nap. We don’t swing on chandeliers or singlehandedly take down your christmas tree ornaments and all or shred your favorite set of curtains. We are past all that nonsense. .. Whats that? Afraid you’ll be too sad when I have to cross the rainbow bridge? Come on look at me, I’m a senior not a corpse! I still have plenty of life in me!! I’m gonna be around so long you’ll probably grow sick of me. Give a sweet older lady a chance. Oh, and I drew the long straw and now I’m living it up at Petsmart as a real life window mannequin. Come visit me, and we can snuggle!

💗🐈‍⬛ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🐈‍⬛💗

Hi bipeds! My name is Biscotti, and like all good italian cookies I’m a little bit crunchy with a pleasant hint of sweetness. And I purr with an italian accent! Ever heard an italian purr? Sounds a lot like an american purr, but a professional experienced purr listener can discern the difference. Sometimes it takes a bit for me to warm up to new people, but canned food is the quickest way to my heart. Im about 1-2 years old, spayed and current on my vaccines.. sure glad I don’t have to get poked again for another full kitty year!

🐾😺 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 😺🐾 Psst! Hey bipeds wanna hear a secret? I’m up for adoption! One of you is gonna get lucky, and pity the fool that passes me up. *best Mr T impression* I’m the whole package. I enjoy cuddles on the couch, working jigsaw puzzles on a rainy day, and chasing fish on the iPet. My dislikes are the ID channel, the mailman, and empty food bowls. Oh and I love me some Dolly Parton! Did you know she’s a Crazy Cat Lady? My favorite kind of lady! Now look deep into my eyes.. don’t I look like a catch? I’m about 2-3 years old, and I’m a super-dooper-sweet, biscuit-making, head-butting, leg-circling, handsome little nugget of a man cat. We’re gonna get a long just fine.

A foster home can be a lifesaving bridge for a str A foster home can be a lifesaving bridge for a stray or frightened pet. It gives the animal a chance to get used to life in a house, and an opportunity to learn that people can be kind, food is available, and there is a warm, secure place to sleep. Foster care can help prepare a dog or cat for a new life in a permanent home. There’s no shortage of animals who need this preparation time before finding their own people. Most people find fostering to be a very rewarding experience!

🐾❤️❤️ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🐾❤️❤️ AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC ❤️❤️🐾 Where do we even start with Rosie? This tiny tank of a girl will probably never win a beauty contest. If you’re looking for a cute little lap dog that you can perfectly groom with pink bows Rosie is not your dog. If you’re looking for a quiet low-maintenance dog that will never make a mess Rosie is not the one for you. If you want a dog that you can look deep into their eyes and see their soul then you should definitely not adopt Rosie, you’ll be lucky to even find her eyes underneath all those wrinkles! This little tank on paws has enough skin to cover an elephant, all packed onto the frame of a goat. She has wrinkles, folds, and crevices in places you probably didn’t even know existed. She moves around like a bull in a china shop so if you have something you love she will probably break it. She’s usually emitting some sound from at least one random orifice. So just pick one and you’ll probably find an odor, sound, or erm.. something else.. coming out of it. Are you in love yet? Well underneath all the skin, sounds, or odors you’ll find a total love of a dog that will be your best friend until her last breath. Rosie is 100% ham and is guaranteed to keep you laughing day or night. Honestly, can you even look at that face without giggling? She wants nothing more than to be loved and snuggled, wrinkles and all. Let’s face it, Rosie hasn’t had an easy life and physically it shows. But deep inside, where it really counts, you’ll find the most beautiful little love of a companion that any of us could ever hope for. To meet Rosie is to love Rosie.

🐾💜 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC 💜 🐾💜 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THROUGH MAARC 💜🐾 Hi there beautiful people! My name is Sierra, but if you change those letters around and drop a few it spells EARS. Yes I could communicate with Mars with these giant satellites on my head. Come to think of it, is that the voices I hear when no one is around? Anyway, you may have noticed that I look like a slightly smaller German Shepherd. I’m stunningly gorgeous, the perfect specimen of a doggy. Obviously I don’t know what breeds I am actually comprised of but if you adopt me you can DNA test me to find out. Who knows I might be an Old English Sheepdog. Okay, maybe not that. What do you want to know about me? I’m still quite young, probably not quite a year old, so lots of training potential and probably some bits of puppy energy! No puppy breath though, sorry about that. :) I’m spayed and up to date on shots, now all ya gotta do is come meet me! I was adopted, for about a week, but another dog was mean to me and it scared my people.. so here I am again. Life isn’t fair, ya know it? Come adopt me pwetty pwetty pweese? Please 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
