Brewster, MA – Miss Molly is a senior Himalayan who was surrendered to the Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) at the Brewster, MA, campus after her owner became too ill to care for her. The cat’s health also deteriorated, and she was not young either. Miss Molly was taken to a shelter, where she would likely be euthanized because of her age. Fortunately, her story has a happy ending. A kind-hearted woman saw her photo online and decided to adopt her, giving her a loving home in the last years of her life.
ARL staff was thrilled to see the beautiful cat go to a loving home and are so grateful to the adopter for giving him a second chance. The Animal Rescue League of Boston (ARL) is one of the oldest and largest animal shelters in the United States. ARL serves more than 100 communities in eastern Massachusetts through its programs and services.
ARL’s mission is to rescue, protect, and adopt animals suffering from neglect, cruelty, abandonment, or homelessness. The organization also works to prevent animal cruelty and promote the humane treatment of all animals through education and outreach programs.
Olivia was looking for an old cat for herself. And came across our Miss Molly.
“I think that old cats are already brilliant and blossoming. They know how to behave and do not have much trouble with them.”
When she came to the shelter and saw Miss Molly, she was pleasantly surprised.
“She was very calm, affectionate, and just a good old girl.”
Olivia decided to take her home. Her transition into Olivia’s home and life has been smooth as pie. She looked around the house, especially the bedrooms in Olivia’s bedroom, and felt right at home. That first night she decided to sleep under the bed, but it seemed like she had slept with Olivia all her life, like old friends. She cuddled up to Olivia and went to sleep, happy and content in her new home. Cats are amazing creatures.
“What I love most about Miss Molly is that she meets me at the door when I come home. She’ll run over to greet me (if she’s not too lazy to get out of bed), let out a single meow as if she’s saying hello, and then wait for me to scratch her chin.”
“She’s also a big fan of napping, so we spend a lot of time together just relaxing. It’s nice having her around, and I’m so glad I adopted her.”
