Adopt Me!
Abby, an approximately 9 year old female, can seem a bit shy at first, but once she recognizes someone, she gets very excited for head and body scratches. She loves to be brushed but also loves showing people how she uses the cat grooming arches. Abby is the first to curl up in soft beds and is quite fond of treats.
