Mollie is a 2-year-old ginger and white cat likely to have been left behind by someone. Being un-neutered and vulnerable she eventually ended up pregnant. She would have given birth to her kittens Mila and Miriam last summer, eventually finding shelter in a garden shed.
This shy family was spotted during the lockdown because the people whose garden they were in wanted to tidy and repair their shed, obviously disturbing the cats. We were called and rescued this little family. They are now all neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and health checked. Despite being very shy and wary of humans (Mollie in particular) progress is being made and they are increasingly curious and keen to engage in play.
Miriam (female) and Mila (male) are around 10 months old and would naturally like a home together with their mum. We couldn’t possibly split up this lovely family.

Message from new owner Jenny:
“Three months on from adopting Mollie, Milo and Mia, progress has been made. I can hand feed them now, although I still cannot touch them. They are getting braver, coming in and out of the house freely. They absolutely know where their home is. Forget cat toys, happiness is chasing a length of wool, running around the garden and climbing trees. An absolute joy to watch.”
