Adult · Female · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (short coat) · 7 mi from Jacksonville

Abigail is a beautiful 3yr old tabico (tortie/tabby mix). If you have ever had the luck to be loved by a tortie or a tabico, then you know how amazing (and a bit quirky lol) they are.Abigail takes her responsibilities as a personal bodyguard very seriously. She will guard the bathroom door, keep watch around the house, and make sure you are protected while you sleep. At night, she loves sleeping beside you and will occasionally curl up directly on your chest when she is feeling especially affectionate. She always lays against her foster mom's back or legs in bed when she sleeps. And she is the perfect welcome when you get home after a long day at the office.

Read more about Abigail

She will greet you at the door and she will ask you about your day with an inquisitive "meow?". She is also great at conversations. Especially when you tell her how pretty she is, when you are giving her food, or when she is receiving especially good pets.She is not, however, particularly helpful when it comes to making the bed. She thinks fresh sheets are an invitation to play, so making the bed usually takes about four times longer with her assistance! lol And she is an excellent hunter. She is completely captivated by bird and squirrel videos on YouTube. She will patiently watch, stalk, and wait for the perfect moment to pounce and can stay entertained for more than an hour.Abigail loves relaxing on her enclosed cat patio and enjoying fresh air through an open window where she can watch birds and chirp at all the critters.She is a loving, playful, funny and incredibly loyal companion and you will be a very lucky human if she chooses you. She really wants all of your attention so she will do best as the only feline queen in her new castle.Abigail has been spayed, tested for Felv/Fiv, vaccinated and microchipped

Bringing a cat home to your dog

Tell the rescue about your dog: their size, age and energy. A cat who has lived with a calm dog may still be nervous around a bouncy puppy.

Introduce them slowly. Keep the cat in a room of their own for the first few days, swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, and then let them meet with the dog on a leash.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, and keep the litter box and food bowls out of the dog's way.
