Our mission is to connect families with potential new members—whether furry, feathery, or finned—and ensure every pet finds a loving home. Established in 1990 by Evelyn and her husband, David, Animal City has grown from a humble 900 square foot space and blossomed into an expansive 8,000 square foot haven for pets and owners alike. From playful puppies and cuddly kittens to colorful birds and aqua
tic wonders, our carefully curated selection of animals reflects our commitment to ethical care, rescuing, and responsible breeding. All of our pets receive the utmost attention and love from our caring and knowledgeable staff. Beyond our beloved animals, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality supplies, nutritious foods, and expert advice to support you in providing the best care for your animals. Whether you’re a seasoned pet owner or embarking on your first pet journey, Animal City is your trusted partner in care. Owned and operated by mother-daughter duo Evelyn and Amanda, Animal City is more than just a pet store—it’s a testament to our shared love for animals and the Murfreesboro community. OUR PETS
At Animal City, we take great pride in the selection and care of our pets. We are voluntarily licensed by the USDA and ensure our standards meet and exceed the Animal Welfare Act. Puppies:
Our puppies are carefully chosen from local breeders with impeccable reputations, ensuring they come from loving, clean homes with the highest standards of care. We believe in supporting responsible breeding practices to promote the health and well-being of each furry friend that comes into our store. We also support several local rescue organizations by assisting with rehoming and fundraising. All of our puppies are up-to-date on vaccinations and receive age-appropriate preventative medical care. Cats/Kittens:
The majority of our kittens are rescues, and we are committed to giving these cute and lovable creatures a second chance at a happy life. On average, we rehome over 800 rescue kittens per year, and we take great joy in facilitating their journey to a loving forever-home. All of our kittens are up-to-date on vaccinations and receive age-appropriate preventative medical care. Other Livestock:
In addition to puppies and kittens, we also offer an expansive selection of birds, small animals, reptiles, and fish. We take pride in supporting our local breeders, once again ensuring their animals are raised with the highest standards of care. In addition, we support our local rescue community and rehome as many pets as space and resources allow. Animal Surrender:
We are proud to rehome as many healthy pets, from kittens to fish, as our space and resources allow. For inquiries, please email us at [email protected] (no phone calls, please).
