Meet Abby,

Abby might be a little shy when you first meet her, but give her a little time, and you'll see just how loving and playful she truly is! This quiet little sweetheart likes to take things slow, carefully observing the world around her before diving in with curiosity.

Once Abby warms up to you, get ready for the cutest playtime sessions! She’ll show off her playful side, pouncing on toys and exploring with adorable little hops. She’s a gentle, affectionate kitten who will make a wonderful kitten for someone willing to be patient and let her bloom at her own pace. If you're looking for a sweet, soft-hearted kitten who just needs a little time to trust, Abby could be the perfect match for you! 

Abby would be suitable for most homes. She would make a great mate for kids and is open to meet children of any age as long as they are understanding of her needs.

Just like all kittens, Abby would love a cat tree to climb on and scratch, and an assortment of toys to play with. She should be fed kitten food multiple times a day to ensure that she grow up big and strong. Abby is already litter trained, but it’s best to show her where the litter tray is when you get home to minimise any accidents.

If you’ve got other animals at home, that’s okay, just make sure that they have a slow & controlled introduction.

Recovered Cat Flu: Historically cat flu has had a negative reputation and can often deter people from adopting; but you wouldn’t actually be able to tell a recovered cat flu cat from a non-cat flu cat. The truth is that many cat flu cats will live happy, healthy, long lives in their new home. So, what is it? Cat flu is caused by a virus. Humans can’t catch it, but other cats can; but only if the cat is showing flu symptoms. Stressful situations like desexing, or a dramatic change in environment can lead to a recovered cat experiencing cat flu again, but this is usually short lived and rarely requires medical intervention. Most cats will recover on their own providing their vaccines are up to date.

Post Adoption Life: With all animals it’s important to understand that going into a new environment with new people may not be as seamless as we want it to be. It’s important to know that these animals have unknown histories - most are left in the shelter by their owners. The information we have is from observing the animal’s behaviours & reactions to certain stimuli whilst in our care. Adopted animals can take up to 3 months to properly decompress from post-shelter life & a lot of behaviours & quirks may surface during this time. All that we ask is that their new owners have an open mind & are patient.
