    Abby

    One afternoon two of our dogs began barking and my brother went outside to see what was happening. To his surprise, a small little kitten was on our deck, held at bay by our dogs. Abby was only about three weeks old, half starved and covered in fleas and lice. Her face was bloody from a bad sinus infection and one eye was closed from an eye infection, and we believe someone had driven by and dumped her in our driveway. An emergency trip to the vet, two weeks of antibiotics and several baths later Abby has become the delight of our home. She loves to play with her toy mouse and then snuggle up on my neck to cuddle. She’s an amazing blessing to our whole family.

    Abby is a beauty, and she looks very healthy now, you obviously are taking great care of her. Glad to hear she has a wonderful home, and I hope she gets along with the dogs now!

    You can’t tell she was an abandoned kitty. She looks wonderful and very happy! Thank you for saving her.

    In spite of her rocky beginning in life, Abby looks like she is enjoying her furever home! She picked a good driveway to come up!

    You and your family are angels for taking such good care of her. There is a place in hell for whoever dumped her like that. She is beautiful, enjoy her for many years.

    What a beautiful little girl. If you would not have been there to take care of her, she surely would have died. Blessings to you and your family.

    poor, dear little thing…..the nastiness of some people! What kind of person would neglect, and then dump a defenceless wee kitten? Thank heavens for fine folks like you, and thank you being so kind and caring and saving little Abby. May she delight you and your family for years to come. :-)

    Am so glad she persevered staying on the deck despite the dogs. Sometimes I wonder if an angel whispers in their ears to stay put, at the right place, at the right time. However this occurs am surely grateful this beautiful kitten has found a home where she is taken care of and cherished. Thank you for giving this kitten the loving forever home she has with you. Enjoy and love each other for many years.

    It surely was the Kitten Fairy! You did a great job taking care of her, she’s beautiful! And a pox on the one who dumped her like that, but I guess it was all for the best.

    As bad as little Abby’s start was, she, and all the other kitty rescues we read about here on The Daily Kitten, are indeed the very lucky ones.

    So beautiful. Makes me sad when I hear stories of people just dumping a defenseless animal. So horrible. But such a nice ending – you’re very special for saving her.

    Thank you and God bless you for taking in and taking good care of Abby. I do not doubt she is a grateful kitty, and says “Thank you” with every neck snuggle. She’s very lovely, and may you all have many happy years together. :)

    Cruel and heartless people will roast in hell. But you will find blessing galore in the love of this sweet kitty, and a blessing in heaven to. Thank you for taking her in.
