Hello everyone!
I need your help I'm considering adopting a retired Abyssinian from a lovely and reputable local breeder I'm still working things out, but I would love to know how you feel about the breed, if any of you own one (or more!), your experience, etc.
I've read a lot about the breed and a colleague of mine owns one, so it's not unknown territory, but I would greatly appreciate other opinions!
The breeder told me that the cat is a sweet, loving little lady and that she LOVES to be held and having lots of human affection. She's a 5 years old blue Aby
I'm probably going to see her in about 2 weeks, I'm so excited! I know, it's a bit silly but I'm just already looking forward to taking that kitty home with me and haven't even met her yet, it's really thrilling!!!
I know some of you might say that it's better adopting from shelters, and I wholeheartedly agree, but in the end, it's pretty much the same, as that cat also needs a home, and I know by taking her with me, that I'm not encouraging irresponsible backyard breeders
Hehe sorry that was a bit long I can't wait to hear about your experience with the breed! And here's a picture of what blue Abys look like (from cfanorthatlantic.org), because I won't have actual pictures until later on this week, as her breeder is off to a national cat exposition
