Story
Please contact Jetta (Jetta.elliott@att.net) for more information about this pet.Two year old tortie point Siamese femaleScarlet is a rescue. She was feral when she arrived to the rescue. When she was spayed, they clipped one of her ear tips as normally feral cats are released back to the wild. Instead of releasing the sweet girl, I brought her home and tamed her. She is very sweet, very loving and looking for her forever home. She is currently in Harrison, Arkansas. Rescue pets are transported near your locations via the rescue network transport. Please do not inquire through Facebook, but rather send an email with your phone number to inquire.April 9, 2025, 4:15 pm

Adopting a Abyssinian

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Abyssinian - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

It costs about $75 to $150 to adopt an Abyssinian from an animal shelter or rescue. The adoption fees cover the costs of caring for the cat before adoption. It costs much more to buy an Abyssinian kitten from a breeder. Generally, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1,500 or more for a purebred Abyssinian kitten from a breeder.

The easiest way to adopt an Abyssinian is through a rescue that specializes in Abyssinians. A great place to start is by creating a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Abyssinians and Abyssinian mixes in your area.
