Eva's Eden is a wonderful mobile cat rescue in Nashville! What makes them different exactly? Well, for one they are mobile. They operate with a network of volunteers who foster the adoptable cats during the week, then on the weekend they are brought to the mobile adoption center for people to come visit, love and hopefully adopt!
They did a great job outfitting the mobile adoption center. It has a beautiful cat tree in the center. I heard one of their volunteers is an artist and made it specifically for Eva's Eden. There is seating around the big picture windows and toys to engage with the cats. It's not super big, so I wouldn't go with a big group. (not that there are big roaming gangs visiting cat adoptions, but you get the idea...)
They pride themselves on being a no cage shelter and you can tell that the cats are really well adjusted & socialized because they are living in foster homes during the week instead of in a cage.
Not only was it delightful to spend my afternoon playing with a room full of cats, but the owner and volunteers are all so warm and inviting. I've been to some shelters where I feel like I'm being sized up & judged as to whether or not I will be a fit pet parent - but here I felt like I was among friends. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable about cat care, behavior, feeding, vet visits etc. Whether this is your first cat, or you are a cat pro - they have a great vibe and are a great organization to adopt from. The timing didn't work out for us to get our 2nd kitty from them because we are moving, but I would absolutely seek them out when the time is right!
Check their website for descriptions of cats available or to learn where their mobile center will be next. I haven't seen their adoptable cats on petfinder or other websites, so you'll have to go to their own website or call if you want to check on a specific gender/age availability before you go.
And don't forget - adopting a pet isn't a 'for now' decision - adoption is forever! read more
