This is Molly. She is around 5 months old.

She was born on the street, the smallest and shyest of a litter of 4. 

She was injured and lost most of her tail (I don't know how).

She wasn't doing well on the street; her missing tail impairs her agility and makes her vulnerable to dogs. We noticed significant weight loss (after the side-on photo was taken) so my wife and I started feeding her, and we took her to the vet this week to get her injury sorted out. The vet wants to see her again on 27th September. She is generally healthy, and the injury has been treated with antibiotics, and with daily attention her bleeding has stopped, and her injury is now healing

She is a lovely, pretty little kitten, albeit a bit timid. She has been in our home for 3 days now (in an outbuilding) and is starting to come out of her shell. She is easy to handle (she purrs) and she uses a litter tray.

We already have 3 rescue cats, so we can't give her a permanent home. 

We will pay the vet bills associated with her injury, and also vaccination/neutering etc.

If we can't find a home for her, we will need to re-release her, or turn her in at the Police Station.

Can you offer her a home ?

Thanks for reading this.

Hi,

As you know, not sure I can manage another at all, at all..., but still.  Hope you're well.  I think it would be hard for me economically, at present, maybe impossible, so probably not a great idea, but everyone fluffy needs a loving home and tail or no tail, still deserving of that.

If you still want/need to re-home her, we could tentatively try and see how the two six-year-old females I already have accept her, starting with a blanket that smells of her, or suchlike, would be sensible.  My furniture's already cat-damaged, anyway, so one more won't bother the sofa, etc.  Just a suggestion.

Best regards.
