About Abby

Abby is about four years old and has spent some tough months outdoors in Union Gap, WA, before rescue. Living with her siblings among coyotes left her cautious, but foster care has helped her open up. Abby has soft, medium-length brown tabby fur and a slender frame. Her gaze is striking, though she's anything but aggressive—reserved and patient, she'd rather nap than cause a stir. She loves gentle touch and wants to be near people, though she’ll need time to build trust. A vet spayed and ear-tipped her as routine, but Abby isn’t feral—she just needs kindness and steady reassurance to settle in. Abby is house-trained, fully vaccinated, and spayed. She lives quietly with another cat but is unlikely to thrive around dogs or loud spaces. She isn’t chatty and tends to keep to herself until she’s comfortable. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate cat who will quietly earn your trust—and maybe someday rule the blanket pile—Abby could be the one. She’ll need to be kept indoors and would do best with a patient adopter who understands her past. Your steady support will help Abby feel safe and loved. Start your journey together! Apply now.
