Her Animal Control Picture
Approximate Age (As of 2017): 19 years
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Status: Blind
Date Arrived: May 2012
Arrival Location: North Carolina
Abbey is a blind cat that came to us in 2012 when she was 14 years old. She had
been with her former family since she was a kitten when they dumped her at Animal
Control, where she was to be euthanized. At the last minute she found some luck in
that the facility decided to try and reach out to the community to see if anyone would
adopt her - despite the state protocol being immediate euthanasia.
After arriving at BCR we immediately took her to the vet for a much needed eye
removal surgery (which you may see in her first arrival photos) and dental care.
When she first arrived she was in absolute shock and very depressed. We cannot
begin to imagine the pain she felt losing her family, home, and everything she had
ever known. She was a sweet cat though then, and now years later has continued to
be a sweetheart.
You may watch her 24 hours a day LIVE on her pet cam:

She is in House 2, room 3.
Abbey was so depressed after losing her home she stopped eating. We had a feeding tube
put in and worked hard to convince her she was loved and would never lose her home again.
With feeding tube.

3/27/2019 Abbey came to us almost 7 years ago at the age of 14 from animal control where
she had been dropped off by the only family she had ever known. We promised her
when she came through our door she would never lose another home and we kept
our promise.
I was sitting in her room today spending some time with them and watched her begin
having some difficulty breathing. Her breathing quickly became progressively
labored. I rushed her to the vet. When we arrived she was breathing 72 times a
minute! Quick x-rays were done and they did not look good. All 3 vets looked at the
x-rays as did I There was a mass. She was over 20 years old, had had years of
excellent health, was loved and cared for. It was time to let her go. I held her in my
arms as she crossed the rainbow bridge.
Abbey was a very sweet old girl who loved to be loved on. She had the loudest purr.
She will be very missed!
I am sorry
