Maryville/Alcoa Animal Rescue Center
A good samaritan brought this cat in today, she seemed older and already very seriously ill. One of our volunteers rushed her to the vet but sadly it was already too late. She was cold to the touch, was barely registering a heart rate, and severely dehydrated. Although sad - we must post these outcomes as well incase someone is missing her. This older girl was wearing a fairly new flea/tick collar and was originally found on Wilson Avenue. If she does have an owner looking for her the only solace we can offer is that she did not die alone. We did have her cremated and will pass along her ashes. If not claimed we will keep them, with the others that we couldn’t save. Rest easy sweet girl. We’re sorry we couldn’t save you. ❤️‍🩹We are happy to answer any questions the owner might have, just call 865-273-3751. ... See MoreSee Less

🧡👽 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 👽🧡Greetings and salutations. I am Threepio, at your service. If by “service” you mean being a kitten and doing kitten things. I am fluid in 7 million forms of communication, but Feline is my preferred language, which I am happy to teach anyone who will listen to me. Alas, I am one of the 5 so-called “creamsicle kitties" who was paired up with one of my brother, Artoo, who amuses me as much as he frustrates me. I daresay we make an adorable team tho, just like the intergalactic droids that are our namesake. Contact Stephanie at (865) 985-1543 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt and may the furs be with you! ... See MoreSee Less

🐾😸 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC AND CURRENT PETSMART RESIDENT 😸🐾Let me set the record straight. I didn’t pick a fine time to leave nobody! He left me under a porch with 5 hungry kittens, not 4, and I don’t know anything about a crop or a field. Not that I’m bitter. In fact, I loved my kids a whole lot and was quite sad to send them off to a private kitten school. But now that I’m an empty-nester I’m after whatever the other life brings and I’m hoping it’s a someplace indoors that I can call my furever home. So pull up a barstool and contact Cheryl at (865) 755-5392 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt and let's write me a brand new song! ... See MoreSee Less

😸🐾 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🐾😸Hola! My name is Jose and I used to be the neighborhood cat. Can’t tell you which one, but everybody liked me...just not enough to give me a permanent place. It’s OK, cuz one of them brought me here so I can find me a spot somewheres else. So, first let me tell you a few things about me: I like to talk, not just about myself, either. The weather is usually a safe topic we all can agree on. Politics, I try to stay out of it. Music, as long as it has a groove and I can move. Food, chicken and fish are yummy. Playing, meh - I got that outta my system when I was younger. I’m pretty chill these days, so if you’re looking for a chatty couch-mate, give me a call at (865) 985-1543 - my rep may pick up but just ask for me. Or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt and let's talk! ... See MoreSee Less

If you smiled back looking at him, maybe you're his person. Maybe you could teach him how to play shuffleboard. #adoptaseniordog #adoptables #adoptdontshop #seniordogrescue #seniordog #seniordogsrule #makeamaarc

Roscoe needs a calm, gentle, and loving home 🥰 Roscoe needs a calm, gentle, and loving home 🥰 My name is Roscoe and I’m a little turd. A little turd with super cute big ears, but a little turd all the same. You might fall for my cute face, but there is more lurking behind my smile. I lived with an older man my whole life, I’m about 8-10 years old, he was my world. I wasn’t well socialized with anyone or anything else, cause it was always just us. But then one fateful day he got sick and I was taken to the shelter. I was left here very confused and lashing out at everyone. These folks have been working with me for a while, and got all my medical needs met… and while I have settled down a lot I’m still a bit of a turd. First, leash me or unleash me at your own risk. For whatever reason that leash is a huge trigger and if you’re not fast enough I might just chomp down on your finger or hand. I did just have 15 teefers pulled, and that makes me sound somewhat harmless, but remember I got close to 30 teefers left. I use my teefers when I’m feeling angry, scared, or anxious. I know what you’re thinking.. that maybe medication would help. It probably would if you can convince me to take it. What you can do is pick me up and carry me around or even sit down next to me and pet me, and I’m usually fairly content with that. I’ll happily take treats from your hand leaving all fingers intact.. almost all the time. In short I’m a slightly troubled little dude through no fault of my own. I will require a very patient and committed person to adopt me and help me get past my issues. But I still need and deserve a home. I will probably settle down given enough time and the right person. Are you up for the task?? Call/Text Al at 865-221-5767 or Lisa at 865-310-2599 or apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. *MY ADOPTION FEE IS SPONSORED*

❄️😸 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 😸❄️ Well, meow there! My name is Juneau cuz I’m a pretty chilly cat...pardon? Oh, I’m a pretty *chill* cat. Showing my age there I guess. So my story isn’t that uncommon, but here it is anyway. I’m a mature lady who used to have my own humans, but somehow I ended up by myself and got lost. It took a little toll on my health, but once the fine people here took me to a vet I’m making my way to a full recovery. Except that I have to be on special food now cuz my innards aren’t cooperating as much as they used to. I’m looking for a nice new family with whom I can relax and feel loved again cuz kennel life isn't the best for someone as chilly as me. *MOL* Please contact Stephanie at 865-985-1543 or fill out an application for me at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt and let me warm your heart! #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
😸🖤 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🖤😸 Hi there Maryville! My name is Wasilla, but I’m not a mush dog or from Alaska (you’d see me a mile away in the snow!). I was picked up wandering the streets, all hot and bothered cuz it was summer and I was...ehem...looking for love in all the wrong places. But now I’m here and everything’s hunky dory and I’m in a much better mood. I even stopped hissing at other cats. Well, depends on the cat, and the one doggo I've seen was more afraid me than I was of him. So if you want a mushy (see what I did there?) black kitty to call your very own, contact Stephanie at 865-985-1543 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
❤️‍🩹 FOSTER OR HOSPICE HOME NEEDED ❤️ ❤️‍🩹 FOSTER OR HOSPICE HOME NEEDED ❤️‍🩹 Lulu was found in terrible condition. Extremely dehydrated, anemic, filled with worms, and she was so weak she couldn’t hold up her own weight to walk. After weeks at our vet those concerns have been addressed, and she is able to walk a very short distance - enough to go out to potty. Unfortunately Lulu also has a large inoperable tumor and probably only has a few months left. She is comfortable for now and we’d love for her to have a home for what time she has left. MAARC will continue to cover her vet needs, you just provide the love and affection that this girl so desperately needs. If you want to give Lulu a loving retirement home please call Lisa at 865-310-2599 or apply online www.maarcadopt.org/foster. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #animalshelter #shelterpets #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
