About Mama Abby

Valentine’s Day around the corner seems like a good time for introductions. Meet Mama Abby, a young spayed female who has truly earned her name—no more kittens for her. She loves attention and isn’t shy about letting you know, since she’s quite the talker. Abby has her own style, right down to a bobtail. After dealing with some nutritional issues that led to patchy hair (blame those hungry kittens), her coat is filling back in, and she’ll be her stunning self soon. She’s playful, thrives on human company, and isn’t above sharing her person with another cat or dog, so long as the dog passes her cautious inspection. There are certain things Abby won’t compromise on, though; the litter box is sacred, and an enclosed, private one is non-negotiable. She refuses to share and will choose her own spot if her standard isn’t met. Abby is looking for an adopter who appreciates both her affectionate side and her clear sense of boundaries. If you’re interested, you’ll need to visit her in person in Lacona, NY, and meet the rescue’s requirements. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
