Leave a bad review on Meowl! One paw. That'll teach them to try and brainwash and convert people into catgirl cultists.
For a time it seems like nothing is going to happen and the issue will get buried just as June Fears.
But three weeks later a big story hits the front page. Cultist Hotel shut down, massive cult arrested, 80% of its members believed to be in the Pound. There are multiple quotes from Adam himself saying he had no idea this cult existed, nor knew anything about its actions and methodology, something he has long outlawed in Catside. He was dismayed to hear this happened, from an anonymous letter no less, and is working to undo the damage the cult caused.
Unfortunately the cult wasn't known for good record keeping, so they are very much doing things on a case by case basis as the authorities find those affected by the cult and attempt to aid them. Anyone who has been hurt or knows someone who was hurt by the cult is urged to visit Adam's estate.
Of course, this could all be another cult trap to get June to come back so they can finish the job. After all, they did call themselves Adam's Chosen.
June is disappointed when nothing seems to happen, but figures that's normal.
That's just how things are.
Might as well just try to get on with life as normal, with work and everything.
It's, of course, not easy.
Being turned into a catgirl is a serious medical condition! (Almost as much as being an addict to transformation potions.) (But not as much as literally being a fungus.) Everyone keeps on wanting her to meow, or to scratch her head, or touch her tail, or asks her what happened to her chest, or asks her if she knows that one catgirl model from that one commercial. Plus all the people who say they've always wanted to date a catgirl. And the other people who seem to have a weird phobia of catgirls.
It's already hard enough to be taken seriously in a professional environment!
When something is finally announced and done (okay, admittedly, given that it's a government action and that it involved investigating and rooting out a cult, three weeks is a remarkably short time, and June knows she was being unnecessarily hard on them in her mind).
At first, she doesn't really want to do anything. Not go there, because it definitely is a trap. Except Adam Jr seemed like a pretty nice guy, so maybe if the actual Adam is in on the cult, she could always appeal to Adam Jr and get his help. Worst-case scenario, she gets a second chance to learn what the heck is up with her biology. Best-case scenario, nothing happens.
June, however, still is completely torn and of two minds about deciding to go. Only 80% of the cultists were caught, right? What if someone totally recognizes her? What if...

Time passes, and, eventually, while at a work barbeque party, one of her co-workers-slash-friends convinces her to actually go.
Making sure to bring hard money in case of being tracked or yet another hasty exit, she ends up going.
On the train, she checks online to make sure what to do once arriving at Adam's Estate, and double-checking to make sure nothing alarm-bell-ringing has happened since she last checked, and so on.
