🐾🐻 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🐻🐾This Bear don’t roar. I mew. Which some may think is undignified for a cat of my *ehem* pronounced stature. Yeah, I know I look like a big boy but that’s 80% fluff. Okay, maybe 75% fluff. Would you believe 40% fluff? Does it really matter when I’m 100% adorable???? So, more about me...I lost my home when the landlord gave us the heave-ho and wound up in this place that so far has treated me like your average bear...er, cat. They sent me to the vet like everyone else and I came back with some not so great news. I’m FIV+, which only means I’m more prone to getting sick if I’m not kept indoors and given only the best cuisine available. Like salmon, fresh outta the river. And chicken, fresh off the farm. Preferably grilled in olive oil with a hint of garlic. Too much? Anyhoo, if you’d like your very own mewing bear-cat, contact Stephanie at (908) 331-0462 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. ... See MoreSee Less

😽🐾 FEATURED SENIOR CAT 🐾😽**SENIOR KITTY** Hey, get off my lawn! *MOL* Just kidding. I’m not that old. I’m middle-aged, the prime of my life, ready to warm laps, make biscuits and be your BFF (best feline forever). I don’t know why they called me Marbles, maybe cuz I occasionally - just occasionally, mind you - get a little stir crazy in my kennel and like to rearrange the furniture. I mean, who wants their litterbox anywhere near their food bowl? Seriously... Aside from that, I’m a pretty cool cat and just want to spend my golden years with someone who gets me. If you think it might be you, drop a line to Stephanie at (908) 331-0462 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. Now if you’ll excuse me, Wheel of Furtune is on and love that Vanna White...All black cats and kittens have reduced adoption fees of $25. ... See MoreSee Less

💗🥰 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🥰💗**SPECIAL NEEDS KITTY** Hi y’all! My name is Sophia and I’m a really purrty girl who had the misfortune of having most of my teeth pulled. It happens sometimes when you grow up in a feral colony, but it doesn’t stop me from eating wet or dry food. Some of us got neglected and, well, there are worse things to have. Like FIV, which I also have but that only means I need to be kept indoors cuz my immune system is not what it should be (nor do I have teeth to defend myself outdoors anymore). But get this; I’m not a feral at all! I was just really scared when they brought me here so they thought I didn’t like humans, but I LOVE humans cuz the ones here take good care of me - they even gave me a little sofa to sleep on in my kennel! If you have a soft spot for a special kitty, please text or call Stephanie at (908) 331-0462 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. ... See MoreSee Less

Maryville/Alcoa Animal Rescue Center (MAARC) is a 501c3 No Kill rescue group partnering with the Maryville City Shelter in East Tennessee.
🐾🌪 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🌪🐾 You’d think with a name like Storm I’d be bouncing off the walls and wreaking havoc wherever I go. Not true. At all. In fact, I’m more like a feather held aloft by a gentle breeze on a warm spring day. I’m like a hot cup of cocoa by the firepit on a crisp fall night. I’m like a dip in the pool on a humid summer afternoon. I’m like a soft pillow to cuddle with on a lazy winter morning. I’m basically a cat for all seasons and I’m waiting for the purrfect purson to take me home. So contact Stephanie at (908) 331-0462 or fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt if you want to add a little Storm-iness to your life! #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 😺🐾 Hello, beautiful people! I’m Sherman and I’m one of the coolest ginger cats you’ll ever meet. In fact, I’m so ginger they should’ve called me Sheeran after that English lad who croons those purrty love songs. Yeah, that would’ve been perfect, but I’m just thinking out loud here. I’m a playful guy and loves ear scritches the most. I sing too, ya know. *ehem* MEEEE-OWWW! Okay, that was a bit pitchy but I promise I’ll practice so that when you come see me at the shelter I’ll be in tune. I’ll even sing one of Ed’s songs for you, just put in your request with my agent Stephanie at (908) 331-0462. Heck, if you fill out an application at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt and I’ll sing his whole catalog. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #cats #rescue #catsofinstagram #animalshelter #shelterpets #rescuecats #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
🐾👍🏻 MAARC FEATURED ADOPTABLE 👍🏻🐾 🐾👍🏻 MAARC FEATURED ADOPTABLE 👍🏻🐾 Yo dawgs! Murphy here. I need a favor in a bad way. I don’t know what happened that I ended up here, but here I sit and I’m not too sure about these new digs. Kind of feels like doggy jail and get this.. they don’t serve anything but dog food here! I have tried asking for a beer a few times and I’m just met with blank stares. Just wait till I leave my Yelp review! So this is where you come in. I need someone with opposable thumbs to help me break out of here. I’ve tried and tried but my lack of thumbs seems to be an issue. If you have opposable thumbs and wouldn’t mind a really good dog hanging around I would sure appreciate you helping me blow this popsicle stand! I’m about 3 years old, know how to play nice with other dogs, and I would appreciate a craft beer now and again. Except that dogs don’t drink. No thumbs and we can’t have beer, damn we sure got the short end of that stick. If you’re interested in Murphy please call/text 865-221-5767 or 865-273-3751 or apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt. Murphy needs a home without children. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #animalshelter #shelterpets #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals

🐾🐶 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION THRU MAARC 🐶🐾 Who’s the goodest boy?? Jasper is the goodest boy! Wheee! That’s me, I’m Jasper. I’ve been at the shelter for a while, learning to trust people again, cause ya see I came from a bad situation. I’ve quickly become a volunteer favorite in my time here. And for the last couple weeks I’ve been hanging out with my friends at Off Leash K9 Training learning how to be the goodest boy! I could tell you about everything I’ve learned, but it has more impact if I can SHOW you. I’m about 5 years old, and I’m a big tall boy that loves everyone he meets - even dogs and cats. So if ya wanna come meet me call or text Al at 865-221-5767 or Lisa at 865-310-2599. #animalrescue #rescuepets #adoptdontshop #animals #rescue #dogsofinstagram #rescuedogs #animalshelter #shelterpets #dogrescue #adopt #nokillrescue #nokillmaryville #nokillshelter #tennessee #fosteringsaveslives #maarcadopt #rescuefosteradopt #maarc #maarcanimals
