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 💓😽Hello big world! When you’re as little as I am, everything is big. And scary. See, I was a stray kitten who was taken in by a nice lady and when she took me to the vet for my spa day, her landlord found out and told her I wasn’t allowed to come back. We were both heartbroken, but that’s how I wound up here. It’s way better than the streets, but I sure wish another nice lady (or man) would come along and give me another chance at having a home to call my own. If you contact Stephanie at (908) 331-0462 or stephanie@maarcadopt.org, she can arrange for us to meet, the sooner the better!Apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. ... See MoreSee Less

😽 🏨AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🏨😽 Omigosh! This sure doesn’t look like Riverdale anymore. I’m Archie and I’m more than just your average ginger cat. I’m well-mannered, well-meaning and so lovable that I prefer pets to eats (although I do like my food a lot). Open my kennel door and I’ll crawl right into your lap and purr away until I (or your legs) fall asleep. Yep, I’m one super chill dude looking for my Jughead so if you think it’s you, do some magic and fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. Or you can text Stephanie at (908) 331-0462 or email stephanie@maarcadopt.org to schedule a meet & greet. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
We have Barn Cats available! Sometimes the cats t We have Barn Cats available! Sometimes the cats that arrive in the shelter are feral. They love food and water, but could care less about making friends with humans. No snuggles, no under the chin or behind the ear scratches; they have no need for that. But what they do love is living life outside on their terms! If you live in the county and have a barn, shed or other structure, or have a mouse problem, we have the cats for the job! They are more than qualified to handle all of your mousing and barn needs! Please call the MAARC office at 865-273-3751 for information and availability of barn cats!🐱🐈🐱 #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 - CURRE 🐾🖤 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC - CURRENT ALCOA PETSMART RESIDENT 🖤🐾 So, I gotta say I’m not sure I’m overly fond of my name. I know I got it from being the 3rd of 10 kittens that were brought into the shelter at the same time, but it just doesn’t suit me anymore. I’m so much more than a number. I mean, look at my adorable face with my little pink nose and pink ears! If you adopt me, please change my name to something prettier like Teresa, or Tracy, or Cutiepie or Princess. Hey, I like that last one a lot (*hint hint*). If you’d like to meet me, text Cheryl at 865-755-5392 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt.
