State by State Listing
Updated May 18, 2012

Please help a purebred Abyssinian in need of a new home!

Is it a purebred Abyssinian?


TIPS & LINKS

Already have a houseful of kitties or allergies that prevent you from adopting?
You can still be kitty mom or dad by virtually adopting. The adopters of your kitty will be told that the kitty they picked out was lucky enough to have your love and support. Virtual adoption is a great way to make a real difference in the life of your purr baby! Virtual adoption fees are used to help YOUR baby get tested, spay/neutered, micro-chipped and vaccinated. Click on the links below to help the Aby you would love to have as yours, if only you could.
Thank you!

Here's some information on Abyssinians and what to expect.
They are active, playful, affectionate cats who enjoy interaction with their humans and usually get along well with other animals such as dogs if they are raised with them, or if they are friendly and nice too.

Didn't find the Aby you were looking for?
Perhaps one of the retired Abys would be a good alternative for you.

Los Angeles, CA - RELISTED
7 yr old cinnamon male Abyssinian named Riley. "Riley is the most gorgeous color, a flaming red rather than the more subdued one that we have seen in rescue. It matches his temperament. He is very loving and extremely devoted to his person but does NOT want to share with another cat and can become fiery in their presence. He needs to find a home without any other animals (dogs included as their barking upsets him). He recently has taught himself how to use the toilet. After speaking with both his breeder and first owner we discovered it was not something he was ever taught just picked it up on his own. He hasnt done it regularly but it was quite the shock first time it was seen. He has not health problems - he recently had a dental and has lost all the babyfat he had when he came into rescue (is aby sleek now) and is ready to find a home. He will take some time to acclimate to a new home and so wants a nice calm existence, with lots of bird watching and interactive play with his new person."

Bella Blue is an adult female spayed Abyssinian found wandering around midtown Atlanta by two kind young ladies who then found us and brought her to us. Our vet did a physical exam, and although she voiced her objections, she was sweet natured and never offered to bite and enjoyed being petted. The vet agreed with us that the large sore on her neck was originally caused by food allergies and gave her a steroid shot to calm it down and allow it to heal. We added a gentle salve as well when she got here and gave her a grain-free food for now. Some cats are allergic to grains (two of our pet cats are) and some are allergic to other things such as fish, chicken, or other meats in their food. It will take a while to figure out which one of these she is allergic to, but we have done this successfully before and feel sure we can help her fully heal too. The microchip didn't help, as it was never registered further from the rescue that implanted it in Missouri (number was disconnected and Information didn't have another number for a rescue with anything similar to the name). So please get the word out to anyone who might be missing their sweet blue Aby girl in the Atlanta area, particularly the midtown Atlanta area.

If you also wish to donate to help us help this girl, any amount will be greatly appreciated. PayPal to rescues@abyssinians.us -- thank you!

MASSACHUSETTS

Boston, MA (Central Sq., Cambridge) - NEW LISTING!
8 yr old ruddy female Abyssinian named Zanzi. "We have a beautiful pure-bred Abyssinian named Zanzibar ('Zanzi') for adoption. She has been with us for more than a year, and she is the sweetest cat I have ever interacted with. Once she feels comfortable with you, she likes to hug people around their necks with her front arms, and she starts to purr immediately when stroked. Her vet, a cat specialist with 20 years of experience was so pleasantly surprised by Zanzi's hug that she had to show her around to her staff.

"We would have never wanted to put her up for adoption if Zanzi was able to get along well with our other cat. Zanzi was a new comer to the house and my other cat did not like that very much. Zanzi gets bullied every day and we start to get concerned that they may never really get along. It may be the best that they get separated.

"Zanzi is an 8-year-old, healthy, fit and athletic pure-bred Abyssinian cat. She is absolutely gorgeous as she was a retired queen. We had acquired her from a breeder and she has never been outdoors in her life.

"We are looking for a cat lover who can give her attention and lots of love. Ideally a single-cat household or the existing cat should not be an alpha. It was very hard for us to even think about sending her away, but this is probably what's best for her."

If you will just give him the chance he deserves, he deserves his own family." If you have other cats that are FeLV positive or want an only cat, Jared would make a wonderful companion.

WHERE DO YOU FIND ALL THESE HOMELESS ABYSSINIANS?

We go through Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet regularly looking through hundreds of listings every week that are listed as "Abyssinian" for purebred Abyssinians who are homeless in shelters, sometimes close to being euthanized. We also are on the National Abyssinian Rescue email list and put available Abys from it on this page. People contact us directly to ask for help in placing an Aby, too. We NEVER get a listing from an individual website trying to place a cat or kitten without permission!

If you know of an Abyssinian who is in a shelter or in need of a new home, please contact us with the information and a photo. We will do our best to make sure the Aby gets a forever home as soon as possible by contacting rescue organizations in the area and listing the Aby on this page. If there is a correction or update, please contact us with that information also. Thank you for caring.
