OK - I guess it's fitting that today's a "cat" day... After all, June IS National Adopt a Cat Month. 🐱

Unlike the US, I've read that Humane Societies are not commonplace everywhere in Europe. Many shelters are set-up by individuals like this kind woman.

I want to tell you about June, who runs Cyprus Pride House – an animal rescue near Limassol, Cyprus. For over 20 years, she has rescued cats and dogs, nursed them to health, had them vaccinated and neutered, and organized a pet passport – all to get them ready for a new home somewhere in the UK or EU. She has dedicated 24/7, 365 days each and every year to saving cats and dogs in Cyprus.

June moved from England to Cyprus in hopes of beginning a simple and peaceful life. But things changed after she was left alone to run Cyprus Pride House (CPH), established in 2002. Instead of relaxation, June struggles every day to help cats and dogs that are suffering to survive.

For more than two decades, June’s rescue near Limassol in Cyprus has helped countless animals in need. June has devoted herself to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding loving homes for cats and dogs. Every day she is on her feet cleaning, walking, doing home and garden maintenance, and caring for and saving animals – and she does this totally alone. She lives in the Troodos mountains in Cyprus and, because she has dedicated her life to saving animals, she has no one there to help her. No family, no friends, no one.

But it’s not only animals that are in need of help anymore. June desperately needs rescuing too. To survive, she requires two urgent operations – one on her spine and one on her knee. So today, I would like to spread a message about June in hopes that she will get the help she so clearly deserves.
