About Molly (in Foster)
I was ready to give up all hope when my owner's health began to fail, and my sister and I were surrendered to the HSHC. I have always been a wallflower and more reserved than my sister, Nikki, who is two years older than me and much more confident. I suppose that is why she has been adopted. I am a 10-year-old, black and white DSH female, and I have already been spayed. While at the shelter, the Feline Care Specialists noticed that I wasn't eating much, my coat was thinning due to overgrooming caused by stress, I had an upper respiratory infection, and I preferred to hide in my Kitty Kasa. So, on September 7, I moved into a foster home to give me a break from shelter life. My foster mom (FM) has been precisely what I needed to renew my hope in the future! She reported to the interviewer lady (IL) that in a little over a week, I have made a complete 180! I have been eating and drinking like a champ, although I prefer dry food over wet. I finished taking the medicine for my cold, and I am feeling so much better. The stress I experienced at the shelter has faded away, and my coat looks much fuller and healthier. I am using the litterbox with complete success. FM says that I am a sweet-natured, calm, quiet, brave girl! I have become confident enough to explore my room and seek attention from FM. I like to head-butt her legs to request head scratches, and I love to relax while sitting next to her. When new people stop by, I usually hide under the bed, and I have never hissed or swatted out of fear. I am still the type of kitty who needs an extended time to get accustomed to new places and people. But FM is willing to give me all the time I need. She wanted you to know about the cute things I do. I love to scoot all the way under the bed comforter to tuck myself in for naps. I am also fond of holding and cuddling the little toy fish she gave me when I go to bed. If you understand that a shy kitty can still be the best cat you've ever known, please consider adopting me. 9-24-25

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
