Plenty of Pets
Molly has raised her babies and she’s now ready for a home of her own.
Molly spent quite a while living as a stray and still isn’t comfortable being close to people, but it’s hoped someone will give her a chance to become part of a home. She may never be a cat who wants to be close, or she might eventually discover being near people has some benefits.
Molly is vet checked, vaccinated and spayed. Because of her circumstances, there is no adoption fee.
To learn more about Molly, visit Carma Cat Rescue’s Colchester chapter on Facebook, email [email protected] or call 902-957-8677.
Carma is holding its annual book fair on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Truro Fire Hall. Books are now being accepted. Small boxes and bags of books can be dropped at Truro Vets, on Arthur Street. For larger amounts, send a Facebook, email or call for a drop-off location.
