Description:
DOB appx June 2007. DMH brown mackeral tabby spayed female. She is most likely a Maine Coon mix, as she has the fur and the facial structure. However, she's a miniature - she's very petite. So if you want the look, but not the 18-25 pounds, here's your cat choice!

Abby was found hovering around the edges of a feral/stray colony in the woods outside some apartments, looking for food. The caregiver noticed her as being a new cat (good caregivers know all the cats they feed daily, so new ones are noticed immediately and caught ASAP to foster, like Abby, or to fix & release if they are feral).

Abby was tame, not feral. She was limping, poor thing, so the caregiver took her to a vet. Abby had an abcess on her leg, which is healed very quickly!! She had a terrible case of worms...and after deworming, she gained 3 pounds in less than a month!

Abby is very petite and looovveess to be petted, she is a great lapcat. She takes a few days to settle in (like most cats) and is now doing fine in a foster room with about 12 free-roaming cats.

In foster care, Abby REALLY came out of her shell! Now that her tummy doesn't hurt from the worms, she plays and romps with the kittens, and her little personality is awesome! 

After her leg healed, we found she LOVES to be picked up -- I was slow dancing with her in my arms, and singing along to the radio, and she was purring up a storm! I am so proud of this cat, she is a TRUE success story, coming off the street looking so awful and became healthy and happy, playing joyfully, in 8 weeks.

Abby was adopted and returned. The adopter's vet said she had a heart murmur, grade 1. The adopter did not want to cope with that. Our vet did not find a heart murmur when we first got her.   

Since her return, we have FOUR more veterinary opinions, that Abby does NOT have a heart murmur. However there was some wheezing in her chest, so an xray was taken. A specialist looked at the xray, she does not have asthma. (whew)

Abby's 5th veterinary exam was done in our foster home on 4/26/09. The vet listened to Abby's chest, and there was nowhere near the wheezing she had at the vet clinic, so the vet agrees that Abby probably "stresses out" when she takes a car ride in a carrier.

Private appointments to see Abby will be made, as she will not be sent to adoption events due to her stressing out.  We strongly urge whoever adopts her to be ready to use homeopathy instead of antibiotics - she will likely wheeze at her new home. We will provide the homeopathy and instructions. We much prefer this natural healing as versus the lab-created, manmade antibiotics which are so harmful to kitty systems.
