Our 1st Save of Christmas

Jersey, a sweet and social 15-year-old, arrived at June’s with her sister, Tailless, and their friend Bruce after their owner passed away. For senior cats, this moment can be perilous. Grieving family members often assume a shelter is the best place for a loved one’s pets—but in reality, shelters are overwhelming for older cats, and adopters almost always choose kittens first. Senior cats like Jersey quietly wait… and too often, they run out of time.

But at June’s, Jersey’s story didn’t end there.

This is exactly why we exist: to give senior cats who’ve lost their homes a safe haven, a soft place to land, and a second chance at comfort and love. Cats like Jersey never have to fear the streets, a stressful shelter cage, or an unnecessary euthanasia simply because of their age.

Today, Jersey has truly found her place again. She’s a people cat through and through—greeting visitors, chatting for attention, attending meetings, and insisting on drinking water straight from the faucet. Her favorite nap spot is right by the sink, where she can be close to her humans, and she happily curls up on the couch when her foster mom watches TV.



This Holiday Season, Jersey is one of our 12 Saves of Christmas—one of the precious seniors whose life is brighter because someone cared.

As we continue to care for cats like Jersey in our rescue every day, 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 like Jersey in our care.
