Excuse me, but this ADOPTION EVENT party isn't getting started without us! Our names are Lacey (left) and Macy (right) and we just arrived at the True Rescue shelter for our first-ever chance at getting adopted. Before you ask, YES, we actually are this beautiful in person. We came from a hard life, having to be trapped at a location where both of our parents were feral. We tried to stay loyal to the feral code, but we failed miserably, and now adore humans. Don't ever tell our parents though, because they tried with us. At any rate, we are sell-outs, and we are at the True Rescue shelter ready to be adopted. You can stop by and fill out an application once you arrive at the shelter, or do it ahead of time at the link below. They are open daily from 11-3, so come on by!! There are so many others here as well. Have a great day, we hope to have one too! True Rescue is located at 12110 Lebanon Rd in Mt. Juliet, TN.

Good evening! We are HATFIELD & MCCOY, two brothers from another mother, but who play fight just like blood brothers! We came together in a foster home, and bonded right away. McCoy came from a property in Davidson County, TN, and I came from Smith County, so very far away from each other. Our intake dates were only a few days apart, and we are so close in age, that we just took to each other right away. Now we are going to our first-ever ADOPTION EVENT tomorrow at the PetSmart in Mt. Juliet, TN from 11-3. To say we are excited about this is an understatement! We might actually find our forever homes for the holidays, so that is truly amazing! Please come out to support us and this rescue, because there are lots of cats/kittens that need homes, and they want record numbers of adoptions so that they can pull more in from the cold. Thanks for listening, now we are going to try and pull ourselves together to go to bed and rest. We are SO excited though!! Have a wonderful evening, and we'll see you tomorrow!

Good evening! My name is Daffy, and I'm the next victim...I mean, ummm...model, to be on the next Cats in Sweaters post. They gave me a hoodie sweater....yay (spoken with notes of extreme sarcasm). I hope my exuberant enthusiasm jumps out of this picture right out to you. Anyway, I fell on hard times, and had been wandering around an apartment complex in Goodlettsville, TN, for a few months, when my feeder noticed I was dropping weight, and my mouth had sores. It was extremely painful to eat, so I was brought to True Rescue to get saved. They started me on medication right away, and I started feeling better. I gained a pound pretty quickly after my mouth cleared up, and then another one after that! I got to move into a swell room called SkyRise, and now I'm ready for adoption. I'm hoping to find my forever home in time for the holidays, and hoping that someone out there loves white and orange kitties with funny-shaped mouths, cuz that's what you're getting with me, and you'll love it! We are open 7 days a week from 11-3, so if you're in the Mt. Juliet, TN area, come on by and take a look. Sure, there are other cute cats here, but I'm the first in a hoodie sweater...I'm kind of starting to dig it now. See you soon (I hope)!

Mt Juliet, TN. We have confirmed this is a neutered male cat, and his name is Ethan. When we saw the picture of this boy's condition, we knew we had to get him off of the ground right away. He is at VetMed Animal Health now with Dr. Gables, who believes it is non-cancerous. He will know more once he goes into surgery to remove the growth, so we will update you on his condition soon. Donations are greatly appreciated!

Good morning! My name is Maki, and I've made the cover of the next Cats in Sweaters FB post edition, and dang it, if Paxton didn't go and mockingly photo bomb me!! Stupid Paxton!! He's mad because they chose someone younger and cuter for the post, which is ME! Paxton wouldn't have even allowed a sweater to be put on him, whereas I embraced the whole thing, and I look pretty darn cute. Anyway, you'll find me right away if you come into True Rescue to adopt, because I'll be in your arms or on your lap the very minute I'm able to be. I don't like seeing empty arms or laps, because I feel they are made to be holding cats like me, and I feel our purpose in life is to make sure you never feel empty. Is that enough to bring you over here? I hope so, and if it works, we are open 7 days a week between the hours of 11-3, so come on by! Our address is 12110 Lebanon Rd in Mt. Juliet, TN.

This sweet fellow, we named Norbert, was found at an apartment complex in Joelton, TN, crying very loudly. He was absolutely covered in fleas, emaciated, and his eyes were darting back-and-forth uncontrollably. We immediately treated him with flea meds, dewormer, subq /B12 fluids and antibiotics, and he perked right up. He is with one of our experienced medical fosters now, and we will keep you up-to-date on his progress. Thank you for your support!

Our 2025 Naughty Kitty True Rescue Christmas Party was in full swing last week, as our staff, volunteers and fosters gathered for one fun-filled evening! We play a cat-themed version of Dirty Santa , which we call Naughty Kitty, and the gloves were off as we fought over the amazing gifts! We were all winners though, since each gift was better than the next! We were also serving up our now-famous "Cat Peetinis" to drink, which of course, is a yellow drink, and is our version of a Lemondrop Martini. We sure know how to party over here!!! As always, our parties get bigger each year, and we are one giant happy family!

What a wonderful week, where NINETEEN ADOPTIONS happened! Eighteen cats/kittens and one tiny puppy all found their homes for the holidays, and we couldn't be happier for them! We hope to see these numbers continue to go up as we get closer to the New Year, and also because we are working hard to get cats/kittens out of the cold. Thank you so much to all of the adopters this week, with their hearts of gold. There is no doubt every animal pictured is going to an amazing new home. We are continuing to stay open 7 days a week through the holidays for adoptions and tours, so please come on by any day of the week between 11-3 and find your new fur family member! Thanks again, and have a wonderful evening!

About True Rescue

Thank you for supporting the True Rescue page! Let’s start with why True Rescue was started and what our plans are moving forward. The idea of having a “Regional Emergency Shelter” came about after years of working in natural disaster areas in the South, mostly hurricane-ravaged areas. The need for additional housing for displaced animals or animals currently existing in shelters needing to evacuate was evident and still remains one of the largest ongoing needs. Not only is the housing essential, but transport to the housing as well. There is also a huge need for animal rescues to work together in a more cohesive manner. This is why we are currently in the beginning phase of constructing a 15-20,000 sq. foot animal shelter in Lebanon, TN.

So what happens with the shelter while not in use during disaster? It will never stop running, that’s what! When not in use for disasters, we will be assisting our rescue partners, who are all part of our “True Network” by easing their burden of overcrowded shelters and transportation needs. We will house spay/neuter clinics 3-4 times/year. We will assist law enforcement in our state and surrounding states by housing animals involved in cruelty/hoarding cases. As if that isn’t enough, we will house animals for homeless citizens in and around the Nashville area, as well as being a safe house for pets from domestic abuse situations.

We intend to operate utilizing the highest standard of care for these animals, with full training for our volunteers on all levels of animal care. Also planned for future events is disaster training and emergency animal care training at our facility in Lebanon, TN.

Thank you for your interest in True Rescue, and please follow us to keep up with local rescues and events happening!
