Story
Meet Mo – A Golden Girl Ready for the Love She Deserves Mo is a beautiful senior sweetheart with the cutest round face and the most soulful eyes. She was raised in a loving home since she was just a kitten, so being surrendered later in life was incredibly unfair — but through it all, Mo has remained gentle, affectionate, and full of heart. Mo is FIV+ but healthy and doing wonderfully. Cats with FIV can live long, happy, normal lives, and Mo is a perfect example of that. She’s thriving and simply looking for a soft place to land. This lovely lady needs to be the only cat in the household so she can soak up all the love and attention (and honestly, she deserves it!). She absolutely adores catnip, cozy warm beds, and long cuddle sessions. Pet her for a few minutes, and she’ll happily settle in, leaning into you and enjoying every bit of affection. Mo deserves the very best golden years — a peaceful home, a warm spot to nap, and someone who will remind her every day that she is cherished. If you’re ready to open your heart to a sweet, loyal companion, Mo is waiting for you. If you have questions about me, please email beaconofhoperescue@gmail.comTo complete an application, go to www.beaconofhoperescue.com and click 'Adoption Application' at the top.  An application is required to schedule a meet and greet.All Beacon of Hope Rescue cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and FIV/FeLV tested ##2658187##

Story
We are looking for a loving home for our 10-year-old cat. We have had him since he was a tiny kitten, and he hasbeen part of our family his whole life. He was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and some anxiety thats led to litter box issues. So for all of his life he has been going in the litter box except for the past two months due to this anxiety. With a 3-year-old and an 8-month-old in a one-bedroom basement apartment, life is just really full and busy right now. We’ve realized we arent able to give him the calm space, time, and attention he needs to work through his medical and behavioral challenges the way he deserves. He’s a sweet, sensitive boy who bonds closely with his people and does best in a quieter home. This decision is completely heartbreaking and made out of love for him. We just want to find the right person who can give him the patience and stability he needs in this next stage of life.

Story
 Axel is a neutered male white Siamese kitten, born on August 15, 2025. Axel loves tunnels, wand toys, and anything he can climb! He’s an athletic little guy but tires himself out rather quickly just in time for snuggles. He is bonded with his deaf sister, Millie, but will be okay to adopt alone if he is going to a home without another cat. Indoor cat only! The adoption fee is $200. 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: https://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org/cat-adoption-application/ We are located in Western North Carolina. Optional transport is weekly.  After your application is approved, we will contact you regarding cost and delivery if you so desire.February 24, 2026, 7:45 pm
