Abby

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Abby is a shelter favorite for so many reasons, primarily because she is just a really REALLY sweet cat. Abby was kind from the moment she entered our shelter, even though she had every reason not to be, as she wasn't in perfect condition when she was brought in. This girl was always grateful from day one, grateful for food, grateful for care, for kindness, for affection, and seemed to somehow understand we were "helping her" in everything we were doing. Abby purrs all the time, the moment she hears you, or you touch her, she lets you know that she is happy that you are there with her. I think this beautiful soul is going to be the very best friend of someone that needs a true and pure friend like Abby. This sweetheart has waited for too long to be loved and truly cared for by someone. It is Abby's turn to live her happily ever after.<br/><br/>**Abby was brought to us with a condition called Entropion. Entropion is a painful eye condition where the eyelids “flip” or roll inward. As a result, hairs rub on the clear surface of the eye (the cornea), which is very painful and can lead to wounds on the eye, severe scarring, and if left untreated, loss of vision. Abby's Entropion Repair was completed on November 11th, we are hopeful this repair will only require a single surgery, but she has a scheduled follow-up to determine her future needs. We are also hoping Abby still has significant vision in both eyes, but this will be evaluated as she heals. Because Abby is not a kitten, in fact, aged by the vet as approximately five years old, we do not know how long she has been dealing with this condition. Through all of this Abby continued to purr, to be kind, and still ask for and show us love. We cannot help but fall in love with Abby and her survivor spirit, and we are pretty sure anyone that meets her will too. ***Update 12/6 Abby's surgery went well, and she has recovered beautifully, her kind spirit shining as bright as ever. At this point, we do believe Abby has some level of vision impairment. We continue to seek assistance from our vet partners, in determining the level, continued assistance with Abby's recovery, and how much improvement we can expect with time. We do believe she has some vision, whether it be light, shadows, and outlines, or more significant vision that she is now learning to "use" again. Even with this "impairment" you would not necessarily know it. We have to assume Abby has learned to adapt to her limited vision over the years before her surgery, as she has no issues finding and using the litter box appropriately. She easily finds the food and water dishes, she is able to easily move around the room, climb on cat trees, and even play with toys. Abby would benefit from other kind cat willing to accept, love, and assist her with some support. Currently, Abby is a room with five other cats, she does seem to connect most with the "L sisters". You can find Abby and Loretta (Etta) snuggled up in a cubby, with Etta grooming her. Lucille (Lucy) also seems to watch out for Abby and frequently "moves over" to allow Abby to share the food dish. Abby would enjoy a friend like this in her new home to help her figure out her place in it, and support her transition. Abby seems to love everyone, so as long as the other cat is open, she will snuggle her way right into their heart as well.<br/><br/>If interested in being part of Abby's happy chapters to come, please complete an application, Once approved, we will work with approved adopters so you can start spending time with her, and be involved in her healing, as we know finding her forever would probably expedite her recovery.<br/><br/>Complete an app to come and check her out! All of our kitties have s/n completed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.
