Juno

Update: Juno couldn't keep fighting, her body was shutting down and keeping her around for our comfort any day longer wasn't right. On Monday evening Juno shared her last moments with us. In a way, it was the best end she could've had: pain free and surrounded by love. Deciding it was time was one of the hardest decisions I've been a part of. It still hasn't set in that she's gone. and I don't think it ever fully will. She had such a character, it's hard to forget that. Thanks to your overwhelmingly kind donations, we got a chance to make her as comfortable as she could be in her last moments. It means the world to me that everyone cares so much, I know she knows she is loved.

thank you for everything.

This is Juno, she's 3 years old and if you've ever met me you know she's the only thing I talk about most of the time. Despite being just a cat, this tiny, furry, thing filled with attitude has done more for me than most people ever could.

These past few weeks she's fallen sick. We've spent a couple thousand trying to figure out what happened and trying to fix it- but no answers yet. As of our last vet visit the only thing we're able to do is make her more comfortable in her discomfort. We are hoping this is somehow nothing serious and it will magically go away. Even if there is a fix, it's going to be expensive and we can't afford it. Aka if/when it gets worse than this- we'll have to put her down.

I avoided making a GoFundMe for awhile because I don't like asking for things like this, but I can't imagine waking up without her beside me. I understand that pets die, but it's too soon for her. Juno (besides these past couple weeks) has been a perfectly happy and healthy cat. With luck, she could easily live another 10+ years. My goal with this is to help her medical costs at least a bit. Whether its for X-rays or medication or surgery- anything to lessen the pre-existing and future costs would be a great help to my family.

All my love,

Mattea
