Our Dear Abby

We live in an apartment building that's sadly seen some strays around the dumpster. We'd try to help, but they'd quickly be gone. Not so this little girl, whom my husband Bill found huddling under a car. She was afraid at first, but she hung around for about a week, even serenading us under our bedroom window. Convincing ourselves we didn't have room, we brought her to a shelter, but she'd wound herself so tightly around our minds and hearts we hardly talked about anything else. When we went back three weeks later, she ran up to the cage door and put her paw over my hand. That sealed it. Abigail Fenway found her forever home.

Abby is super gentle and never scratches or bites even when we're playing. She loves to sleep between us and makes sure she's touching both of us, and she's turned Bill into a bona fide cat lover. If we could have custom-ordered a cat, we could not have done any better. She is THE BEST!
