Brace yourselves…you’re about to become incensed. This came through the NAR Aby Email list and somehow got netted in my spam weir; it was originally sent last Friday.
“We rescued an Aby from the kill shelter in Roanoke. The shelter had her on the kill list because she had not eaten since she was brought in and was losing weight. Since I have had her, she is eating like a little horse and is gaining her weight back.
Her owner (who lived in Roanoke) passed away and no one in her family wanted her. In fact, her owner’s son brought her into the shelter, slammed the carrier down on the counter, and said, “My mother paid a thousand dollars for this F****** cat!” He said she was 5 or 6 years old.
She is now up to date on her shots, spayed and I am looking for a good home for her. She is a ruddy, very friendly, outgoing, a little talkative.
Can you help me find a good home for her?”
Can you believe that? Poor woman dies, thinking her kids will take care of her beloved Aby…and this is what happens. Incredible. And she’s the same age as Jacoby! I wonder who the breeder is – I’m sure they don’t know about any of this.
If you’re interested in this poor girl (I don’t know her name or have a photo of her), please contact Sandy Scheurer in Beford, VA at 540-586-8735 or email her at sansiaby@aol.com.

Well at least in foster care she wont be abused by the deceased owner’s son anymore. It’s obvious that he really didn’t care.

Feh. I’m surprised he didn’t try to sell this $1000 cat for some cash, the way he was acting.

No way to treat a cat. But it’s east Virginia, not West Virginia.

At least the kitty is safe! I’m sure the breeder, if she could be tracked down, would be horrified at what happened to her cat! Breeders – at least the ones my human and I know – love the kittens they raise and would be horrified by this happening.
