I found my Molly while looking at the cats on Kijiji one very long night shift. My husband had said we could not have a pet because we moved every couple of weeks or months, so I was technically window shopping.

Despite that, I looked at and read each cat's sad story, until I hit Kaylee's profile. She needed a new home ASAP because in her current home, the husband had a nasty habit of hitting her. My heart broke. I didn't care what my husband said or if I had to surrender her immediately to someone else who would love and care for her.

I called my friend instantly (at 2 a.m. but she answered) and told her I needed a ride to a town about an hour away. She picked me up after work at 7 a.m., and we went to get my Kaylee.

Once she was at my home, and my husband agreed once he heard her story, I decided she was my baby named Molly. She was terrified of people and hid all the time, I had been told she was over a year old, but my vet put her at closer to 4 or 5 months old.

The first night while we were laying in bed, Molly would come out of her hiding spot and sniff our faces; we were really still to avoid startling her.

Now, two years later, we have moved a lot with her, but that doesn't faze her ever. She doesn't like pets, but she insists on being the biggest snuggler; she snuggles with my husband all night long and me all day long when I get home from work. She is still a little scared of people that she doesn't know, but she loves us unconditionally and we love her unconditionally!

I am so happy that all those years ago, I went and got my lovely Molly.
