My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Elke is a spayed female black-and-white cat, born on December 25, 2024.  Meet this beautiful tuxedo girl who can stare into your soul with piercing amber eyes. She’s a gentle lady with a heart full of love. Calm, affectionate, and incredibly smart, she has already shown how deeply she trusts people to be her guardians. Before giving birth to her kittens, she bravely walked up to a kind person and asked for help, proving just how special she is. Now that her kittens are safe, it’s her turn to find the forever home she truly deserves. She’s the kind of cat who will greet you with quiet affection, curl up beside you, and remind you daily of the joy that comes from unconditional love. Ideal home: A loving family ready to give her the care and devotion she’s earned. This tuxedo beauty has given so much already-now it’s time for her to receive the most loving home in return. Indoor cat only! Adoption fee is $25. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, PVR, Rabies, flea, tick, ear mite and worm treatment. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to:

More about this rescue

Rutherford County Humane Society is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that has been serving Rutherford County North Carolina since 1979, with the mission to significantly improve the lives of unwanted and neglected animals, and to measurably decrease this number through our spay and neuter programs, volunteer foster homes, and outreach and education. We are an independent organization that works in collaboration with other area animal advocacy groups. All of our efforts depend on our passionately compassionate volunteers, and financial support from the community. We have made the decision to use our resources to continue promoting the number one solution to our pet overpopulation problem - and that is spay/neuter. Our mailing address is still PO Box 998, Rutherfordton, NC 28139. Our website (http://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org) is always current, and you can contact us through the web. You will receive a prompt reply. We have adoptable pets posted on the site. If you need to find a home for a pet, you may contact us to have your pet posted on our website. We also post on PetAdoptionPortal.com.
