Abby

Hi everyone, I’m Abby, a girl with some real “Tortie-tude”. I arrived at my foster-family’s place in April (2025) with my son, Hudson, in tow. We are both wobbly cats, but my wobble is not bad, it only shows up when I have to move really fast and I lose my coordination, and sometimes when I am trying to sit really still, then my legs shake a bit. It’s a neurological thing.<br/><br/>My fosters don’t think that I am very old, maybe 2-3 years of age. I love to play and get really excited about toys. I like the feathers on the fishing rod. That’s so much fun for me. I have also learned that playing in paper bags is fun too. I think this is really the first time I have been where I haven’t had to be on alert and worried about my kitten, so I am learning to relax and play.<br/><br/>When I first arrived here, I didn’t want to be touched, but since they have treats and I have been rewarded for being touched, I realized that human attention is actually pretty OK. I now head butt my fosters’ hands for treats and expect pets first. I haven’t learned to be picked up yet, that’s going to take a lot more time and patience.<br/><br/>My fosters actually find me pretty cute and demanding. I chat whenever I want attention, which is often, and I have a schedule that they have to keep too. Every morning, before they can leave for work, I demand my squeeze-up treat, and then every evening after their supper, I sing for my wet-food dinner. And of course, regular kitty treats are expected every chance I get to get a pet.<br/><br/>As for the kind of home I need, I am OK with the small family dog, but I don’t want to be chased by one, that kind of hurry is scary, and I get so clumsy when I have to run.<br/><br/>I am able to jump up on the sofa or a chair by myself, but I don’t climb up on the cat trees. My new family may have to make some accommodation for me and my mobility issues and provide a ramp or steps if they want me to get up on taller furniture or a bed.<br/><br/>As far as children, it’s important that they understand that I am not a touchy-feely girl, no picking me up at all, and no petting unless they have a treat, and I can not be chased because of my wobble. I could hurt myself if I got chased. I may benefit from the company of another cat because I do learn by example too but I’m OK if they are independent like me.<br/><br/>Really though, if you want a friendly girl, that may need to learn treat rationing, is not clingy, but is playful, and does enjoy being in proximity to humans especially if you have a treat, and won’t be sitting on the counter tops, I may be just the cat for you.<br/><br/>Please consider adopting Abby into your loving home.
