Molly has been here a year today, I am so incredibly pleased that we have made this milestone. I wanted to foster Molly ever since I started fostering for Cat77, but initially she couldn't catch her, and then other fosters prevented me. I was doing a fundraiser last December, so had rang to discuss times etc, and she said that she didn't think Molly had long left as she was barely eating and doing nothing but sleeping. I sat on this overnight, as I had lost 2 cats that year, and wondered if I was ready to do it again, but decided that giving her a home environment for what time she had left was more important than me getting upset, so I asked to take her on. The rescue initially refused, cos they didnt feel that she should be disturbed. I went back after the fundraiser to take pics for the rehoming page, and she jumped on my knee and went to sleep, we couldn't move her!! So the rescue then agreed to let me take her!!! After 2 days of her barely eating, I gave her some a/d, and she hasn't stopped eating me out of house and home since!! Her dodgy back legs stopped after a couple of weeks, and when I had her bloodtested in January, she was perfectly healthy!! When I made the decision to keep her, the rescue were pleased, as she isnt the kind of cat that can tolerate a lot of new environments, she is very happy here, and has her freedom again, even if she does barely go out!! A year on, she is still looking really well, she has defo put weight on, can't wait till next month when I find out how much, and how well her organs are doing. Here are some pics

She is a lovely girl, and seems very happy and content - the first two pics are when she first came, the bottom two have been taken the past week or so
