East Tennessee Friends of Animals is a small group of caring dedicated volunteers who are working hard to rescue and place the animals that find their way into the public shelter system. The local animal shelters in East Tennessee do not have the resources, financial backing, space or manpower, to house all the stray and surrendered animals on an indefinite basis. Therefore, the clock starts ticking for these animals at the moment that they are deemed ready for adoption. ETNFOA is an Adult and Senior cat ONLY Rescue. Everyone wants a kitten during kitten season leaving the poor momma cats to sit in shelters until their time is up. We concentrate on saving these sweet adults and seniors who deserve a great loving home too. ETNFOA will continue to work hard in rescue to insure that as many animals as possible are rescued through either direct adoption, or placement into the foster care system before the clock stops ticking and their time is up. Please help us make a difference!
