Our 2nd Save of Christmas

For our second Save of Christmas, we bring you a double feature, Sly & Niko—two sweet, deserving boys with a story to warm your heart. These companions were living outdoors in a cat colony when their devoted caretaker, a senior who was moving into assisted living, reached out to JSCR for help finding new homes for the many cats in her care.

Sly, a friendly 10-year-old, was the first to catch our eye. Without hesitation, he walked straight into a kennel, eager for a new life. Recognizing the immense change he was about to face, we knew he needed a friend for comfort and stability. That’s when Niko, a 5-year-old with a heart of gold, made it clear he’d like to join the family too.

Both boys were fully vetted at JSCR, and Sly received much-needed surgery for cherry eye, a painful condition where the eyelid rolls inward and irritates the eye. Now, they are both thriving in their new lives, happily living indoors with their devoted foster parents, Vera and Holly. Just look at their photos—best friends who clearly found peace, joy, and the love they deserve.

With the holiday season fast approaching, Sly and Niko would be incredibly grateful if you could share their story and perhaps make a donation from our wishlist. Your donations ensure our seniors have everything they need, especially food and litter. Let’s make this Christmas a little brighter for Sly, Niko, and all the cats who call JSCR home!
