Today is DĆa de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. It is a holiday that celebrates life and death with colorful festivities and the belief that those whoāve passed can visit their families during this time. This is a sentiment near and dear to our hearts. Being a senior cat rescue means we say lots of painful goodbyes, and it helps to think, one way or another, they are never far away. So, we are taking today to celebrate the lives of the many special kitties who found sanctuary and love here at Juneās Senior Cat Rescue. They are never far from our minds and remain firmly in our hearts. We will love them forever.
We hope you take a minute today to remember fondly the felines who left footprints on your heart. š¾ā¤ļøš¾

This beautiful girl is named Maya. Sheās 12-years-old and is spayed. She was surrendered to Valencia County Animal Shelter because her owner could no longer afford her. Shelters are overflowing with animals right now. We are praying Maya finds an adopter quickly, as she may not have much time to do so. Please share her story so she can find her forever! We know the right home is out there for her! If you want to meet Maya she is at the Valencia County Animal Shelter at 1209 NM-314, Los Lunas, NM 87031 or you can call the shelter for more information at 505-866-2479.

It is with heavy hearts we share the passing of our little Princess Autumn š
Autumn has only been a part of the Juneās family for a short time, but she made a huge impact. At 19-years-old, her spirit was bright, but her tiny body couldnāt keep up. Her teeth were causing significant pain, and today we found out she was diabetic and anemic. With the support and guidance of our vet, we chose to release Autumn from her pain.
She left this world in the arms of her foster mom after drinking one last blended tuna snack. The last words she heard were, āI love youā.
Autumnās spirit, like so many others, will live on in the work we do. For whatever time they have, they will know comfort, and they will leave this world knowing how deeply they are loved. This is who we are. ā¤ļø
šØšØBREAKING NEWSšØšØ
We are so excited to share some great news with you! After 38 days of hiding, yes 38 days, Bootsie has finally decided her foster mom isnāt so scary after all!! ššš
Bootsie (13 years old) was surrendered to the shelter with Autumn and Betsy (both 19yo) when one of their owners passed and the other couldnāt take care of them due to caring for their terminally ill son.
Autumn and Betsy adjusted quickly to their new home, but Bootsie struggled. Since her arrival in June, she has been in hiding. With the exception of occasional appearances at the food bowl, her fosters wouldnāt see her for days at a time. And touching her was absolutely out of the question. Until last night, when she finally took a leap of faith and let her foster mom touch her.
Like people, some cats take longer to adjust to new environments. So when adopting or fostering, remember to have patience. Going to a new home is overwhelming, but we can help them by not having expectations and giving them time.
We are so proud of Bootie! Please join us in celebrating Bootsie and her bravery!

Could these girls get any cuter? Betsy (in the box) and Autumn (in the bed) are doing wonderfully. These 19-year -old ladies are unbelievably resilient. We are so thankful we get to be a part of their story. Itās a special feeling to watch them thrive! š„¹š

We want get serious with you for a second. This is very important, so read closelyā¦
Youā¦makeā¦a...difference! Your support for JSCR changes lives, LITERALLY.
Autumn found herself at the shelter at 19 years old. She was sick and in poor condition. She really had no hope. She would have wasted away slowly waiting for someone to help her. But because of YOU and your belief in what we do, Autumn will live the rest of her days comfortable and loved. She will get absolutely everything and anything she needs.
These pictures say it allā¦from a shelter cage with only a thin blanket over newspaper, to a fluffy, comfy bed where she can lounge like the princess she is. YOU did this! YOU gave her a second chance and a happily ever after!! From the bottom of our hearts, and the hearts of every senior who comes through our doors, THANK YOU!!!
