15 yr old ruddy male Abyssinian named Ramses. "I'm a handsome Abyssinian who is looking for a new home due to the recent loss of my long time guardian. Im declawed, neutered, and up to date on all my shots. They say I'm quite mellow and healthy for a 15 year old. I have a Maine Coon buddy, Zuni, who is also looking for a home. We'd like to be together since weve been bonded for our entire life and we just couldnt bear the thought of another loss." Animal League of Green Valley - second time is a charm, they finally found a good home

Phoenix, AZ
8 yr old ruddy male Abyssinian (CraigsList). "We have an adult (approximately 8-9 years old) Abyssinian kitty that needs a new loving family and home. He is extremely loving and cuddly and always wants to be around people. We have a 2 year old and another baby on the way and unfortunately for him, my children come first. He really needs a true cat lover for an owner, someone that would appreciate his strong personality! He is super sweet and very loyal to his owners. He does well with my daughter, has never shown any signs of aggression towards her, but is obviously afraid of her and runs away if she tries to pet him. He is excellent with older children though. CraigsList - Owners were helped by So. Calif. Aby Rescue to find a way to fit him into their busy household and they are all happy now together. :-)

Glendale, AZ

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. 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 recently has taught himself how to use the toilet. He has not had health problems - he recently had a dental and has lost all the babyfat he had when he came into rescue and is ready to find a home." New Homes 4 Animals

Santa Cruz, CA
2 yr old blue female Abyssinian named Apples. "What a beautiful little treasure she is. We have no info about how Apples came to be in the So California shelter where we found her. She arrived with a rather rough coat so we have been giving her high quality food, baths and flea med's. She probably is allergic to fleas. She grows more lovely by the day. Her blue coat has peachy overtones which are very becoming and go with her beautiful green eyes that set off her colors so perfectly. She is a lovely, playful friendly young girl. She LOVES attention and will make her pleasure known with much purring and rubbing of her head all over you. She is such a nice little girl. She has a tender heart and sweet nature. Apples is friendly to other cats although we don't know about dogs I would guess she would probably be ok with them. She could gain a few ounces but seems to be in good health. Her finely detailed Aby body and delicate almost elfin feet are a delight to watch as she prances around. She eats wet and dry and is litterbox perfect. We do NOT ship cats. We will place cats out of area but you must arrange to come and meet your new friend in person." Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue

San Diego, CA
Senior cinnamon female Somali (longhaired Abyssinian). "Gorgeous purebred spayed female Somali cat available to home with no other cats. Prefer home with quiet older person or couple, she had never been around young kids or a real noisy household. Have had her for several years and she is not happy living with my other cats, wants to be queen of her own domain! She is *extremely* affectionate with people, a total lap cat. Beautiful cinnamon color, looks like a little fox. Somali cats are basically a longhair Abyssinian. I will be very particular about who she goes to so be prepared to tell me about yourself, household, etc. The photos here are kind of old, her fur is longer and more full." Craigslist - Southern California Abyssinian Rescue helped the owner to place this beautiful girl

Vacaville, CA
5 yr old cinnamon female Abyssinian named Ali. "Ali was surrendered to rescue in April of this year when her owners moved and could only have one cat in their new home. Ali is a delightful, beautiful clear red color, petite and friendly Abyssinian. She weights under 6 lbs. She will delight you with her athletic feats. Her perfect adoptive home would be indoors with adults (maybe also older respectful children), where she can be a part of her family, helping you on the computer, cooking, styling your hair, sleeping with you or whatever she may want to be involved with. Ali is shy around dominant cats and would be happiest being an only cat or with another calm cat. Ali is healthy, current on vaccinations, spayed, FELV/FIV neg/neg, and micro-chipped and litter box perfect." Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue

Davis, CA
6 yr old blue male Abyssinian named Rickoshay. "Rickoshay, aka Ricky, is a purebred blue Abyssinian boy. His original family purchased him from a breeder at the age of 5 months, and until recently he led a very happy life, which for an Abyssinian means being totally involved with his family. Then one day a ride in his carrier meant something far worse than a visit to the vet for shots: Ricky's family was moving into a "No Pets" apartment, and Ricky was abandoned at a shelter. Ricky is a big boy and very handsome. He is beautifully coated and has stunning gold eyes. Like most Abys, he is never far from your side, and yes, he will sleep in the bed with you. By day, he is curious and playful. Ricky would be best as an only cat or with a very docile companion kitty. He is fully vetted, altered, tested, and microchipped." Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue

Vacaville, CA
4 yr old blue male Abyssinian named Mr. Blue Boy. "Mr. Blue Boy came into rescue when his owner died. He sleeps with his foster mom, next to her under the covers. He follows her around the room and of course typical of an Abyssinian has to help her put on her make up, brush her teeth and pick out her clothes for the day. He talks to her while she is in the shower and sits on her while she reads at night. But someone meeting Blue for the first time will not see this wonderful, loving boy. In a new environment it will take a while for Blue to come around and feel comfortable with his person, but by putting in the time by being patient, you will be rewarded with a wonderful, loving companion for years to come. Mr. Blue Boy needs to be a single cat. When in the room by himself he is out all the time and is an interactive member of his foster home. Mr. Blue Boy will come to you healthy, altered, FELV/FIV negative, current on vaccinations and microchipped." Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue

Los Angeles, CA
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. He recently has taught himself how to use the toilet. 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." New Homes 4 Animals

Pittsburg, CA
2 year old ruddy female Abyssinian named Magnolia. "Magnolia was a pregnant stray that was trapped in Richmond. She delivered her beautiful babies who have all found homes and went on to take many other homeless babies under her wing. Now it is her turn - she is looking for an only cat household where she can reign as queen. She is a beautiful Abyssinian - approximately one year old. Of course she is spayed, has her shots, free of fleas and parasites, has a microchip, and carries 30 days of FREE insurance. Magnolia could go into a foster to adopt situation if you needed time to get to know her. She is currently in foster care in Pittsburg, CA and shown for adoption at the Concord Pet Food Express by appt. Noesark Animal Network & Cat Support Network

San Diego, CA
Adult cinnamon female Abyssinian named Abby. "I adopted Abby after her original owner had to move; now I must move and cannot take her with me. She is an Abyssinnian and was originally purchased for $500.00. She is hilarious and has crossed-eyes. She would do best in a home with no more than one other cat. She is a lot of fun and needs a lot of love and attention. Please only respond if you will be able to love her like crazy!" Craigslist -- Southern California Abyssinian Rescue found a good home for her. :-)

Vacaville (Pleasanton), CA
5 yr old female cinnamon Abyssinian named Ali. "She was surrendered to rescue when her owners moved and could only have one cat in their new home. Ali was pretty upset by all the changes in her life but that is behind her and she is ready to go to her forever home. Ali is delightful, a beautiful clear red color, petite and friendly. She weighs all of 5lbs. 11oz. She will delight you with her athletic feats and carry on a conversation with you. Her perfect adoptive home would be indoors with adults (maybe also older respectful children), where she can be a part of her family, helping on the computer, cooking, styling your hair or whatever she may want to be involved with. She would be happiest as an only cat or with one other calm cat." Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue

5 year old ruddy female Abyssinian named Sadie. "Sadie is a five year old purebred Abyssinian and is just about the cutest we have ever met. She is extremely affectionate and has a wonderful personality. At her foster home she currently lives with one dog and three cats. We think she could do well being the only cat or the only other pet in a household. She very much likes to sleep, eat, and follow her pet humans around the house "helping" them with various chores. Be warned, she loves catnip! She has been diagnosed with IBD and is currently on a prescription diet and anti-inflammatory medication that is working well for her. We are confident that if Sadie found a loving home who can keep up with her medical needs, she would make a wonderful, fun, and loyal companion. She is in great health other than her IBD. IBD care cost is about $70 a month for food and medicine. Part of her adoption fee will be transferred directly into prescription food and medicine to get you started. If you are looking for an Abyssinian who is well-mannered, outgoing, affectionate, social, and cute as a button then Sadie might make a good choice! She is fostered in San Francisco. Email us an application to come meet her today." Wonder Cat Rescue

9 yr old blue male Abyssinian named Eeyor. "Eeyor came into foster care because his owner died. He went to live with the mother's daughter and her two male Abyssinians and unfortunately the pairing wasn't meant to be. Eeyor had been an only cat for many years and was used to all the attention so being at the bottom of a 3 cat hierarchy didnt work. At the top of Eeyors list for a new owner is someone that will love him as his first owner did. He will happily return the love. Eeyor will be where you are. If you sit he will climb in your lap. If you let him, he will lay across the keyboard if you are on the computer. He loves to be petted and purrs with delight. Eeyor had the teeth problems so many Abyssinians have and his teeth were removed due to Stomatitis at 8 months of age. He does fine eating both canned and dry food. He will drink water out of a bowl but loves the running water fountains that are out for animals. He is friendly, loves to play and is very cuddly. Oh, he even likes to sit on shoulders. Eeyor is neutered, current on shots, and FIV/FELV negative." Purebreds Plus Cat Rescue

After 18 months of trying, I have regretfully concluded that I have to do what's right for him and re home him. Since I love him, I need to know that he will go to a forever home where he will have the good life that I wished I could have given him."

7 yr old fawn neutered male Abyssinian - "Oddball is a fawn colored Abyssinian who is quite a stoic. He has accepted being in the shelter and has staked out a basket in his enclosure and doesn't seem interested in exploring any further. 'I'll just stay here and relax,' he says. If you pet him, he's fine with that. If you pick him up, he doesn't object. Put him down and he's back home in his basket. Because Abyssinians are noted for being very active we suspect Oddball is simply waiting to be adopted before he shows his natural athleticism in his new home. Oddball is about 7 years old."

7 year old ruddy female Abyssinian named Pina. "COURTESY LISTING. I am looking for a very special, very loving, one-pet home for my 7 year old aby, Pina. She is a very sweet cat-loves her head rubs, always greets us at the door when we come home, purrs constantly and loves the cat laser! She is full of personality and generally has a great disposition! Pina is a great cat that deserves more love and attention than we can offer her now.Since the arrival of our baby and our full workload, she's not been the happiest cat and doesn't interact with us as usual-and has come to the point of hissing at visitors and at us and becoming a little more demanding in her personality. I would like to find her the right home to make her happy again. I'm sure once she has full attention and alot of love and time together, she will definitely offer you 100% aby love." Infinite Hope

"Misty and Rusty were rescued from the shelter on a plea of one of the wonderful New Hope workers who couldn't watch these two get sick. Well, smart move--they are adjusting after having been dumped at the shelter, and are looking forward to a loving, compassionate and appreciative home. These beauties, a boy and a girl, both altered, vaccinated, microchipped and negative for felv and fiv, will be very special additions to the right home. They're ok with other pets, but prefer not to be amidst chaos. They're under a year, maybe about 8 months old. Note the culturally appropriate Rusty, laying down and relaxing while his partner, Misty, is up and about! Just like the big cats in the jungle." K9Kastle

7 yr old fawn female Abyssinian named Anya.

"Anya is a terrific, petite, 6 pound cat in perfect health (no meds, no special diet etc.).

She loves riding on your shoulder and basking in a sunny window. She has her claws, of course, and always uses the litter box. We got her as a kitten from an Abyssinian breeder so we have been her only owners.

We are also proud owners of a ruddy 8 year old male Aby who Anya has been very happy living and playing with. Anya could live with other cats and maybe even dogs (she has not lived with any dogs but seems comfortable with them when she has seen them at the vet).

Anya is in need of a home without children as she is very protective of children (we now have a newborn and a 19 month old toddler). She is terrific with kids coming to visit and has been wonderful around our 8 year old twin nephews, but a kid free home is what the baby girl needs! We will just be devastated to see Anya go, but know it will be a better long term solution for her.

Please email us if you have a good, cat lovin' new home. We are happy to fly Anya wherever necessary to find her a new home."

Beautiful, smart cat with a lot of personality. Of rare origin and breed. Really hoping to find her a good home because quite frankly we are not cat people and have gave her nothing but love and shelter and food but with our new residence we can no longer take care of her without her being in danger of being attacked by the neighborhood stray cats or neighboring dogs. She has a few scratches on her ears because she recently got in a scuffle with another cat and we really don't want to have to make her stay in our small yard.

It is in all the cats' best interests for Baby Blue to have a home of his own. He currently gets along superbly with another young male but does pick on one other male and both females. Baby Blue would do very well as an only kitty with a doting adult. He's so easy to spoil, forgive and love all the time. He would be fine with older children.

The clinic refused to put Rosie down and she was signed over to them. In the course of their examination of her it was found that she had a painful eye ulcer that had never been treated and was in the process of rupturing the eye.  So one of Rosie's beautiful bright gold eyes had to be removed to save her further pain and infection. She is otherwise a perfectly healthy young cat and is not on any medications." Specialty Purebred Cat Rescue
