Hello, everyone. Santa recently asked us to send him some reinforcements to get ready for Christmas (and to help him with post-delivery activities). So, the Powell Petsmart adoption center will be closed temporarily starting on Thursday, Dec. 21 through January 1, 2024. The adoption center will reopen on January 2, 2024.

Merry Christmas!

Miss Poppy has been with us for several months. One of our volunteers has sponsored her adoption fee. Poppy is very bright, loving, and playful. None of us are perfect: Poppy doesn’t like other cats; she also does not like dogs. She needs to be the only pet in the home.

In our experience, Poppy’s color pattern is the type that gets adopted the least. So we need your help finding an adopter. Please share.

Would you please consider giving Poppy her forever home?

Good morning, friends. Happy Caturday.

We have some lovely cats available for adoption. To get started, you can either submit an online application for a generic cat (which would allow you to adopt any available cat, if the shelter approves your application). Or, DM us for our hours of operation. We rely 100% on volunteers to staff our adoption center.

Online applications are at the following website:

Hi, friends! We have a few adoptable cats and a kitten available. We totally forgot to make an International Cat Day post, which was on August 8 🫢. Every day is cat day to us though 🤭

Okay, so we need your help. Poppy is a very intelligent and personable cat. She’s playful. So why hasn’t she been adopted? Well, she just doesn’t like other cats or dogs. So, she needs to be the only pet in the house. A volunteer has sponsored her adoption fee and we’ll even buy a cat carrier for her. Please share. Poppy has been with us for months. She likes to pick at shoes so she might pick at carpet. We value transparency and we want to ensure a good fit with an adopter.

Good morning, friends. We have four lovely cats available for adoption.

Kora is a manx (no tail). Manx cats would do best where their litter box is located on tile or another hard surface. She’s extremely sensitive, so she needs to be indoors 24/7. She loves kittens, so she’d be a wonderful match with Vanessa.

Vanessa is a beautiful black kitten.

Valerie is a petite gray adult cat.

Poppy’s adoption fee has been sponsored. She hates dogs and other cats. She needs to be the only pet. She’s very smart and sweet (to people). She’d be a perfect dorm or student apartment pet.

We are half-way through 2023! Where did this year go? Time seems to be flying by and standing still at the exact same time. We always prepare our shelter stats based on a fiscal year for accounting and bookkeeping purposes, but we rarely post them on social media. In an effort to maintain transparency (and bring you in on the successes and challenges our little shelter experiences), we are posting it for your information. The 2022-2023 fiscal year was a hard year, but we made the best of it! We had fewer intakes than last year, but most pets stayed with us increased amounts of time. We have 20 dog kennels, plus 8 temporary outside dog runs and 30 cat kennels that are portalled into 16 cat kennels. Increased lengths of stay require creative housing and we have become masters at it. We also had a higher percentage of adoptions, a higher percentage of pets reunited with family, nearly 25% more pets were fixed and we vaccinated 1,300+ pets from the community! Our Critter Cupboard continued to provide families in need. While our community needs are changing, we are too! Stay tuned and watch us grow!
Thank you to everyone who has supported us! We are proud to have you as part of our pack!
As always, our door is always open, our shelter stats and financials are always posted on the office cabinet wall and we welcome visitors Stop by for a visit and just check things out!

We’re mom and son. If it wasn’t for volunteers, we’d be homeless or worse. Please help us by volunteering. Even 1 hour a month, especially on weekends, could save a few lives every year. DM or comment below.

Good morning and happy Caturday, friends. We are very much in need of volunteers. We are seeking people who can commit to 1-2 hours a month, at least. Our biggest needs are Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays. We allow minors to volunteer aged 15+, with parental permission. We ask volunteers to use Google Calendar; show up on time (or notify the volunteer team that they’re late); and to communicate effectively with visitors. Duties include cleaning and caring for the cats.

We ask that volunteers commit to at least 4 months.

Walle, pictured, has no eyes. He was a former shelter cat. Without volunteers, he would not be alive today.

Hi, friends. We’re always recruiting new volunteers. We have an urgent need for volunteers for Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Ash, pictured below, is an adorable kitty who is available for adoption. We rely 100% on volunteers to staff our adoption center. Minors are welcome (with parents’ permission). We ask that volunteers be able to use Google Calendar and have at least some basic customer service skills. Volunteers are expected to show up on time, but please note that volunteers set their own schedule.

Even one hour a week or every other week is very helpful. DM for more information.

Former Campbell County Animal Shelter cat, Walle, is blind and he is alive today solely because of the hard work of a volunteer foster and the wonderful team at the shelter. Walle’s blind and he asked us to type this post for him. We’re critically low on volunteers. As the school fall semester approaches, our volunteers are unable to volunteer quite as much as before. We desperately need volunteers for weekends. Even just one hour once a month is helpful. Volunteers must be able to use Google calendar and must have good communication skills. DM for more info.

Good morning, friends. Tomorrow is the last day of National Pet Adoption Week. We have limited hours this weekend, but you are always able to submit an application to adopt online at fccanimals.org or DM and request an appointment.

We have lots of adoptable cuties.

We are also always looking for new volunteers. We have a wonderful team but all of them have full-time jobs, multiple jobs, class schedules, or other commitments and we are not able to provide as much coverage as we would like.

We have a quick training program and solid processes for process excellence.

Lastly, we are no longer accepting short-term volunteers who are seeking only minimal hours to satisfy TN Promise or UT Promise. People who commit to long-term volunteering may claim volunteer hours for TN Promise or UT Promise.
