This Week's Pet: An Investigative Kitty

Lovely miss Mollie is evidence that good things come to those who wait.

This 1-year-old sleuth likes to do her detective work before letting you pet her. Mollie’s foster mom reported that she was very curious, and would shadow her routine around the house, following clues and chasing a few laser pointers along the way to know more about her new environment and new human—her habits, likes and dislikes.

Her sharp eye and cunning intellect even helped her to develop purrfect scratching and litter box habits in her new home. Although Detective Mollie likes to investigate her human before being approached, she is no hermit—she’s not afraid of the vacuum cleaner, or visitors.

Like most of us, she likes to work hard and play harder. She especially loves cat-nip toys and laser pointers. When Mollie isn't hunting for clues, she's often found chasing the resident cat around her foster home and would love a purrmanent home with another energetic cat to play with. Because Mollie needs a little time to deduce her new environment, she would do best in a home with patient adults and/or older children.

Although Detective Mollie doesn’t like to be pet at first, she will eventually open up and reach out to you.

Do you have a meowstery that needs solving? Then Mollie the Cat, private eye, is the match for you. All this super sleuth needs is some time to investigate, and then she’s all yours!

Will you give her a chance?
