1 year old ruddy female Abyssinian named Magnolia. "Magnolia was a pregnant stray that was trapped in Richmond.

Of course she is spayed, has her shots, free of fleas and parasites, has a microchip, and carries 30 days of FREE insurance.

Pleasonton, CA - NEW LISTING! 3 times is a charm?
5 yr old ruddy female Abyssinian named TBird. "TBird is exceptionally sweet and does not have an aggressive bone in her body. She is in foster care because she was not happy with the other cats in her home. When male cats play roughly with her TBird thinks they are attacking her and she runs. Her owner surrendered her because she thought she would be happier away from the other cats." Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue Karen Pahler Phone: 925-462-1608 or by email at k.pahler@comcast.net

Pleasanton, CA
13 year old cinnamon female Abyssinian named Julie. "Julie, a beautiful 13 year old red Abyssinian came into rescue when her owners dropped her at animal services after they moved. This was the only home she had ever known.. Her foster mom was called because Julie was going to be euthanized. Prior to going to her foster home, Julie was examined by the shelter's veterinarian and it was noted that she had a sensitive stomach and that she couldn't keep her food down while at the shelter. Not surprising - Abys DO NOT do well in cages and many Abys have sensitive stomachs. Since she has been in her foster home she has been on a senior diet - dry and canned - and is doing very well. Julie is a very loving and friendly girl. No one could ask for a better companion kitty. She has never been outside in her life. She is now out in her foster mom's house and she and the other cats have an understanding that they don't get too close. She loves her foster mom and sits on the desk when she is on the computer, lays on the bed or couch in the evening and follows her around to just see what is going on. When she wants in your lap she stretches up and paws your arm so you will move whatever is in her way so she can jump to your lap. And jump she does, on the table, on the bed and into the windows to watch outside. Julie will come to her forever home with vaccinations current, microchipped and spayed. She is fostered in Pleasanton. Please Note: To the right home, a tax deductible donation will be accepted in lieu of the standard adoption fee." For more information on Julie contact her foster mom, Karen, at 925-200-6562 or by email at k.pahler@comcast.net or fill out an adoption application. Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue

6 year old ruddy male Abyssinian named Rocky. "Meet Rocky. This handsome, special needs kitty is very easy going and laid back. He loves attention and squeaks with joy when you pet him. His owners could not take care of him now that he is a known diabetic. They were going to put him to sleep but one of our veterinarians decided to foster him until we can find him a home. He will need insulin shots every day." Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, Inc. Email: abyrne624@gmail.com

(Please note: Some cats can recover from diabetes with a high protein, no grain diet (sponsored link to Amazon.com for a book that explains how entitled "Your Cat:Simple New Secrets to a Longer, Stronger Life" By Elizabeth M. Hodgkins, DVM). Like people, exercise and less calories resulting in best weight for size is also helpful. Look for 40% minimum protein in dry food & 10% minimum protein on side of can in canned food. Make sure to give your cat plenty of water either with a drinking fountain and/or canned food.)

"I am currently the owner of a 7 year old Aby. Nile is his name. I have had him since he was just weeks old. Right now I am looking for a place I can find for Nile as I am going to be leaving the country soon and rooming in a place before my departure that has a no pet rule due to allergies. He is very healthy and fun and has lots of strength and energy. A friend is fostering him in her home until a forever home can be found for him. I really need someone to take him soon. The home he is staying in is great but the party is constantly traveling and asking for help with him and I am not able to do so."
