The Almost Home Pet Adoption Center is a no-kill facility owned
and operated by the Humane Society/SPCA of Nelson County. It
is located at the intersection of Rt. 29 North and Stagebridge
Road (Rt. 624) , just two miles north of Lovingston. Presently the
facility is open daily from 1 P.M. to 4 P.M.
The Adoption Center houses dogs and cats. The dogs are contained in individual rooms, one or two to a room, with wall murals painted by area artists and hemi-sync music from a sound system donated by the Monroe Institute. Visitors are encouraged to spend time in the rooms getting acquainted with the dogs and cats prior to adoption. Cats and kittens are housed in colorful cat condos with handcrafted furniture for climbing and perching.
Adoption fees cover the cost of vaccinations, worming, heartworm test or feline leukemia/aids test and spaying/neutering. All adult animals are provided these veterinary services prior to adoption. Kittens and puppies are adopted out with neutering certificates
covering the cost of these veterinary services at the appropriate age.
Many of the animals come from unclaimed or surrendered animals at the Nelson County Animal Control Facility.
These animals have been judged to be adoptable based on temperament and looks. The
Center does accept animals being surrendered by Nelson residents on a space available and
adoptability basis.
I am a volunteer. Among other things, I take photos of animals and post them on the internet for exposure to the public.

About Beth
Distance: 212 Miles
UPDATED: FEB 26, 2021
Beth has now been living at Almost Home for 11 years. She spends her days quietly cuddled up next to her BFF, Lynx. The two tabby cats look like perfect bookends when they sit side by side. Beth enjoys watching the birds that come to the feeder outside the big window. She has the run of the large room and is amicable with the other cats in that room. Beth’s health is generally good; although, she periodically needs treatment for a recurring ear infection. Beth will probably never be a snuggle-in-your-lap kind of girl, but she would be perfectly happy to be a decorative home accessory. Beth would like to be adopted with Lynx.
UPDATED: NOV 11, 2019
Beth, discovered alone and scared in someone’s yard in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, came to us in 2010 as a 6-month old. She is a Picasso painting come to life. In addition to black and gray stripes, she also has diamonds, triangles, circles, ovals and squiggles. She’s a one-of-a-kind work of art!
While a little shy at first, Beth enjoys it when people she knows pet her. She’s energetic and often on the move, making sure she keeps her svelte figure. However, Beth does love her food. If she knows you have something tasty, she will meow loudly and play the starving child. When not moving around, she’s often found by the window, checking out the happenings outdoors.
She lives here compatibly in a room with many other felines. She would like a quiet home where she can continue to blossom.
