Miss Molly- Blind

My story

1) READ ENTIRE AD 2) ALL FAQS ANSWERED HERE & ON OUR WEBSITE 3) APPLICATION REQUIRED (link at the end). Good Golly Miss Molly!! This darling little girl is special. Just look at her fabulous markings! Have you EVER seen a cat that looked like her before? Probably not. Not only is she special because of her gorgeous, luxurious, bunny soft stunning fur coat, but she’s literally special…needs that is. But only slightly. You see, tiny Miss Molly is blind, although it appears she has one eye, her remaining eye is not a functioning eye. Her remaining eye has a detached retina, so it’s just there for decoration at this point. Lol. No but really, our UCDavis veterinary staff friends highly recommended that Molly keep her remaining eye because even though it doesn’t provide her with any sight, it still helps her circadian rhythm and influences her sleep cycle, immune system, metabolism, appetite, cardiovascular system and even her hormones. So keeping that eye was beneficial in her case in many ways. We always want what’s best for our fosters, and we listened to our vet partners on this one. After doing some research on the subject, we’re glad we did. Molly is a trip. She’s a silly little young lady, roughly a year old now. She was scooped up from a feral colony in Marysville. The feral feeder there saw her scared and hunkered down in a corner, and later observed that she had some challenges. The Good Samaritan brought her to Fieldhaven Feline Center where she was spayed and treated for a nasty upper respiratory infection and she was given a complete medical work up. Molly was then diagnosed as blind by their veterinarian. Mission Meow specializes in blind cats, so we said yes when we heard this lady needed help. Molly was sent to a longer term foster where she got further care and was able to been seen by a fantastic ophthalmologist at UC Davis. Molly needed surgery to have what was left of her other compromised eye removed. We call this procedure an enucleation. Molly healed up beautifully after surgery and thrived in her foster home. She’s now healed up and ready for her forever home. Molly had a rough beginning at life in a feral colony, so she has some hang ups that she’s working through, but she’s a loyal and sweet cat once she gets to know you. Molly can be a little skittish around loud noises, and who can blame her, many of us are the same way lol. Molly has learned to come to her foster mom when she rubs her fingers, when she does that, she knows that means she’s safe and she’s about to be touched. It’s a way of giving Molly a heads up, she’s about to be pet. And this little darling loves to be pet! Her foster mom can’t give her enough attention. She chirps happily as she circles back and forth around you for more attention. She has a funny little half hearted love bite that she’ll give you when she’s really happy. She has never bit hard or broken any skin, so it’s just a charming thing she does. She’s just the cutest! Molly is a small little seven and a half pound girl who enjoys being picked up for even more attention lately. She’s adjusted beautifully to life in her foster home with their other resident cats. In fact, she’s so playful that we recommend a home with some younger playful cats or kittens for her. Molly has a few buddies that she enjoys playing with at her foster home, so being an only cat may not be the best situation for her. She comes alive when she’s around other cats. To our knowledge she has not been exposed to dogs before, so depending on the dog, a slow integration would be recommended for her. Molly has not been around small humans, and because of their quick movements, and tendency to be loud, we recommend a much quieter and stable home for Molly. Blind cats are phenomenal if you didn’t know that already. Watching them, you would swear that they could see. Cats are adaptive creatures already, but being blind just kicks their other senses into a higher gear. Their whiskers help, but their hearing is what helps them the most. They climb, trot, play soccer and love fiercely. Blind cats tend to latch on to their caregiver strongly, and they make fantastic indoor only cats. Molly is a very unique kitty, she’ll give you endless joy and amazement just watching her navigate through her world. Please consider adopting little Molly, she deserves a fabulous family to love and adore her, just like her foster family does. ________________________________________________________ ***WHY MISSION MEOW IS BEST TO ADOPT FROM:*** ***Complete Information You get to speak directly to the foster family who have the kittens in their care! No one knows the kittens better than the people who have had them for the last several weeks or more. They will give you full details as to personality, background, quirks, likes/dislikes, ETC. Since adopting a pet is a commitment for the next 15-20 years, you want as much information as possible to make the best decision. ***Private, quiet meet & greets You get to visit the kittens in their own current environment where they run free so their true personality shines through. Our kittens aren’t subjected to noisy stores and stressful cages and you won’t be competing with other annoying people for your desired kittens. ***Quality over Quantity We are a small rescue so we can focus on each kitten individually to provide personalized medical & socialization protocols. Because we do not overcrowd, our cats do not pass contagious diseases to each other. ***Veterinary Care We balance a mix of holistic & conventional protocols to keep our kittens healthy. We use high quality disease preventatives & medication when necessary. Mission Meow only wants the best medical care for our kittens, so we don’t skimp on those costs AT ALL. We work closely with our vet to come up with a plan for any kittens who may be ill and to prevent any unnecessary and over medicating. Three local veterinarians have adopted from us after observing the quality of our kittens. ***FOOD: Our kittens are nourished with high-quality food. We ‘ve been offered free /discounted food from other companies but we choose to use the best option even if it costs more for us. ***Resident Pet/Child Safety While no one can guarantee the health of any living being, we do our best to make sure your adopted kitten does not have any issues such as parasitic worms that can be passed on to your resident pets or children. We have a very thorough deworming protocol using the best products on the market and the proper duration. Most places adopt kittens while they are in between showing signs of intestinal worms. Not us. ***POST ADOPTION SUPPORT It is extremely rare that we have any issues post adoption, but if there were any that presented themselves, we would work with you towards a resolution. We pride ourselves on the one-on-one relationships we build with our adopters. __________________________________________________________ ALL CATS ARE: SPAYED/NEUTERED ~Vaccinated ~Rabies* ~Microchipped** ~Tested for Diseases ~TREATED/PREVENTATIVE FOR: Fleas Worms Ear Mites ~Litterbox Trained ~Socialized in private foster homes ~MULTI ADOPTION DISCOUNT * If age appropriate ** FREE LIFETIME REGISTRATION ____________________________________________________ APPLICATION: For FAQS and Priority Consideration, please fill out an application located here: https://www.missionmeowcats.org/adoptables-and-process _____________________________________________________ *****ADOPTION LOCATION:***** By private appointment in Rocklin/Roseville/Lincoln/Citrus Heights/Auburn CA area, or at Bark Avenue Rocklin ______________________________________________________ *****ADOPTION PROCESS:***** APPLICATION: Please contact us and we will send you an online application.

TIME FRAME: Based on volunteer availability, it is possible for all adoption steps to be completed the same day, however, it is not guaranteed. Please note that occasionally a home check, vet records/references, etc may be required and multiple people may be interested in the same cat(s) so additional time may be necessary. You are also welcome to get the kitten an appointment with your own veterinarian at your expense prior to adoption, just be aware that may delay the adoption by several days. WHY: Our adoption vetting process ensures a proper feline fit for your family. You may be a wonderful pet owner but may not be the best fit for a particular cat, or other extenuating circumstances. Also, YOU may know you are a good pet owner, but we don't. We exist because too many people view pet ownership as casual or disposable so we want to be sure the best match is made for the next 15-20 years. Your patience and understanding as to where we are coming from are much appreciated. Our adoption process is also reflective of the extremely thorough medical protocol our kittens receive. Thank you!
