♬ What Was I Made For – Andrea Vanzo

“I picked her up, and she fell asleep in my arms, and from that moment, I couldn’t walk away from the rescue without her.”

The shelter told Hardy that Juno was previously owned by a woman “living with a violent partner,” and it clearly affected the cat in many ways. She was surrendered with her feline sister three months before Hardy rescued her.

Juno appeared very fearful of the world around her, and even the slightest noise would leave her “immensely fearful.” Even after finding her forever home, any unexpected sound would leave Juno terrified, as Hardy said that the sound of letters being posted through the door would make her “hide under the bed all day.”

But as it turned out, Juno’s forever family would expand again because just a month after being rescued, Hardy met her boyfriend, Ashley Cox, 33. Since Juno gets so nervous around new people, Hardy was worried about how she would react to Cox. She actually had nothing to worry about because they instantly bonded.
