About this Cat
From Ms. Boots: I’ve Been So Lonely… But I’m Ready to Love Again Hi, I’m Ms. Boots — a quiet, gentle kitty with white-tipped paws and a heart that’s been through more than most. Not long ago, I had a person I loved very much and I even had a German Shepherd doggie friend. My whole world was quiet, soft, and safe — until one day, everything changed. My person passed away suddenly… and just like that, I was all alone. Then the floods came. I was stranded in the house, surrounded by silence and shadows, wondering where my person had gone and why no one came for me. Every few days, a lady would stop by to feed me. But she didn’t like cats — especially not scared, grieving ones like me. She didn’t speak kindly. She moved too fast and would even smack me. She frightened me more than I already was. I thought maybe love was gone forever. But now… things are different. I’ve been given a second chance. I’m in a safe, calm place. And I’ve slowly started to remember what it feels like to trust again. I might not be the kind of cat who jumps into your arms, but I will curl up near you. I will lean in for pets. I’ll sit beside you for as long as you’ll let me — soaking in the love I’ve missed so much. I’m quiet, sweet, and so, so ready to belong again. If you have a peaceful heart and a gentle hand, I’ll meet you there.I’m Ms. Boots — and I’m finally ready to go home. With love,Ms. Boots If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at [email protected] or 865-236-0830. To fill out an application, go to www.almosthometn.org.

Contribute to Ms. Boots's Stash!

100% of Ms. Boots's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Ms. Boots.
Adopt Ms. Boots and Receive Ms. Boots's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Ms. Boots's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Ms. Boots's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Ms. Boots, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Ms. Boots's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Ms. Boots was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Ms. Boots’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Ms. Boots’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Ms. Boots’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
