Purrsephone was born with a congenital condition in her spine that affects her ability to control her bladder and bowels. She must be expressed and stimulated at least 3 times a day. This keeps her bladder empty and her bowels moving along with keeping her clean.
She was treated by our veterinarian who also consulted with a neurologist to assess her condition.
She is on a special fiber diet and takes two medications for motility reasons.

Purrsephone is 3 years old now. She has been spayed, vaccinated, and has been evaluated by her vet. She is a dynamic, playful youngster who is as fast as lightning! Purrsephone loves to frolic, leap, wrestle, and explore. The best time to give her free reign is after she has been expressed and stimulated. This prevents a mess around your home and also relieves her! She has been around other feline friends and has met the resident Chihuahua in her foster home. She is an affectionate lovebug who doesn't let her "disability" interfere with her daily life.
What always ameowzes us about our rescues is their can-do cattitudes! Purrsephone does have feeling in her lower area so when expressing and stimulating her, that is done with care and gentleness. She is always rewarded generously afterward with snuggles (she loves to cuddle up in your arms). We use only positive based methods and want our rescues to have the most fulfilling lives.

Purrsephone will require this type of care for the rest of her life and we hope that her home to be will be willing to give her the best life possible!

We will provide you with our purrsonal training and guidance to help ensure her transition is smooth and successful, Our supports will continue for as long as needed/wanted by her home as our rescues always remain a member of the Mojo's Hope family.

Enrichment and friendship building time is implemented every day in their foster home and we aim to end each "session" on a positive note. They are an exceptionally sweet and loving pair that would make a wonderful addition to your loving home.


Our adoption policies and procedures are rigorous and thoughtful as our goal is to match you with a cat who will become a loving addition to your home for the rest of his/her wonderful life.

Seeing photos and videos are great first steps, however, meeting the cat in person and seeing if you connect is critically important. You may even want to visit the cat a few times to ensure you have made that connection.

If you are interested in adopting one of our cats, you will need to complete our adoption application and have that approved prior to placement. Submitting an adoption application does not guarantee placement.

We do not do same day adoptions.


Please ensure you have permission to have a cat where you live before considering adoption! We will need to see a copy of your lease agreement along with a contact number for your landlord to ensure the adoption is allowed.

All parties interested must meet the cat before adoption to ensure that everyone is in agreement with the adoption. If you do not live in Anchorage, you must come in to meet him/her before the adoption and make arrangements to transport him/her to your home.

Mojo’s Hope will provide behavioral support for the transition and throughout the adoption to ensure that everyone feels secure with the adoption.

Mojo’s Hope has an indoor cat policy. We strongly support the utilization of cat harnesses and catios as these are positive ways of giving your cat the chance to explore, get some fresh air and provide him/her with the benefits of the natural world while keeping them and wildlife safe and sound.

These steps have been implemented to ensure the placement is the best one possible to meet the needs of the cat and the new home.

Our Adoption Application is available to complete online or download. If you download the application please email the completed one to mojoshope@gmail.com

Once You've Made That Purrfect Connection, Here are Some Factors to Consider

Do you rent? If you do, do you have Landlord approval and documentation to verify that you are allowed to have a cat? Is there a clause about declawing in the lease? We do not allow declawing.

Is your home ready for a new arrival? Do you need support with getting that together?

Does everyone in the home agree to the adoption and has everyone met the cat? (This is one of our policies)

Are you aware of the municipal code, Title 17, that requires a multi-animal license when you own 4 or more of the same species in the Municipality of Anchorage?

Do you have a carrier to transport your cat?
