Our 11th Save of Christmas

Mr. Colby lived a comfortable life, with a favorite spot on the couch and warm nights curled up in bed with his owner. Then one day, all of that changed. Strange people came into his home, and he heard them say his person had died. All of a sudden, someone took him from his house to a strange, crowded place where he was put into a cage. That would be traumatic for anyone, but it’s particularly traumatic for a 15-year-old senior cat. 



For senior cats like Mr. Colby, losing their home and their person is overwhelming. Cats who are older or struggle with change are often overlooked in shelters. But at June’s Senior Cat Rescue, seniors are never rushed, overlooked, or forgotten. They’re met with patience, gentleness, and the time they need to feel safe again.

When Mr. Colby came to June’s, his life changed again—for the better. Shy Mr. Colby is slowly settling in. He doesn’t like sudden movements or loud noises, but we can’t blame him. He’s learning to enjoy watching TV on the couch with his foster mom, and even though he came to us from the shelter severely matted, he’s even allowing us to brush him to get his coat beautiful again.

This Holiday Season, Mr. Colby is one of our 12 Saves of Christmas—a reminder that every shy, frightened senior deserves safety, patience, and love.



As we continue to care for cats like Mr. Colby, we humbly ask for your support. Your contribution, whether through our wishlist or as a tax-deductible gift, allows us to provide life-saving care and love to the senior cats in our care. Your compassion makes gentle new beginnings possible.
