Abbott is UTD on shots, parasite/Flk/FIV neg.
He is 5 years old. Red & White mack. tabby (w/ "M" on forehead)
He weighs aprox. 35lbs. (BIG SWEET GUY!) :-)

The only papers he has is his rabies papers.
He is neutered of course.

He has THE most soulful eyes & the softest meow if he ever meows at all.

He does not like his back legs or his butt brushed but will tolerate it. :)

Abbott lived his entire life with his mama & brother (Chloe & Costello)
He was placed with his current caretaker because the lady of the house is wheelchair bound
& the husband worked long hours.
She also had 3 dogs that she had to place as well.
She could no longer give them any care.

He was severely matted & was in Fla. foster care for 2 months
& then brought to his current caretaker because she was full.

His current, loving caretaker thought that she would be able to provide a forever home for this baby when she first recieved his info,
but it seems that no matter what, he is constatly being bullied by her other babies.
This has gone on for 4 months & he is just getting more depressed.

She has tried so much one on one time with him because it breaks her heart to see his soulful eyes looking out to me for some kind of help.

He is so eager to please, as if he's done something wrong which he hasn't,
& she feels if she finds the right home for him,
she will cry for days & days on end,
but knows this is best for him.

Amy's Policy:

If you know of anyone in the OH, PA, KY area
that would be willing to be completely "grilled" by my pre-adoption application,
agree to periodical follow-ups & agree that
for any reason they would no longer want Abbott
he will be returned to me ONLY (stated in final contract),
please send them my way.

I live in Wilmington, OH & will provide my phone number privately.
I thank you very much.

Update - MR. Missy Rescued!!!

Heart warming story to follow shortly **VBG**

Please take a moment to meet this precious little girl.

I call her Missy.

Missy showed up on my doorstep approximately 1 month ago.

After contacting my development office and the local shelter
to see if anyone had reported her missing,
I came to realize that she had probably been "abandoned",
when I found that no report had been made.

Missy is very sweet, loving, affectionate and trusting.

My heart breaks to see this special little girl outside.
I am very worried about her. In addition to it being below zero some days,
she is like a naive, trusting little child who doesn't know enough to be afraid of strangers.

Missy looks at all critters as a potential friend.
I live next to a wooded area, from whence comes all manner of threat to her.

On occasion, I have found her sitting next to an oppossum,
once, next to a huge Racoon.

Unfortunately, this little sweetheart was probably someone's pet
and doesn't know enough to be afraid of a possible threat to her wellbeing.

Missy is smart as a whip.
Perhaps, I was inspired to call her "Missy",
perhaps, it is just that she is very smart, because she can be around the house,
or in the woods, but when I call her
she comes running home.

She is a little purrpuss, and very vocal,
always responding to me when I talk to her.

Please, find it in your heart to help this little girl.

I have temporarilly set up a shelter for her, but unfortunately,
I cannot bring her inside.

This precious love, who has a disposition as sweet as her little face
deserves a loving home,
where she will be well cared for and kept safe and sound indoors.

Whatever angel can find it in their heart to rescue her
will surely be rewarded by more than a faithful, loyal, loving, precious companion.

Thank you, with all my heart for taking the time to read this plea for help.

If you are unable to give Missy a home,
please pass this on to someone you feel deserves such a special gift.

I am located in Central New Jersey.
Please contact me at - fuzzmom@netscape.net - if you require any additional information,
or can offer any assistance in placing this angel.

Mr. Missy**blush** - Now Called Jackpot by his forever mom

Finally in out of the cold.

Stray Cat by Francis Witham Oh, what unhappy twist of fate Has brought you homeless to my gate? The gate where once another stood To beg for shelter, warmth and food For from that day I ceased to be The master of my destiny. While he, with purr and velvet paw Became within my house the law. He scratched the furniture and shed And claimed the middle of my bed. He ruled in arrogance and pride And broke my heart the day he died. So if you really think, oh Cat, I'd willingly relive all that Because you come forlorn and thin Well....don't just stand there... Come on in!
