Abyssinian kittens & cats in Defiance, Ohio

We got her from previous owners who said they were moving where cats were not allowed. I had 3 of my five children at home and they wanted a cat. They are all now out of the house and I'm not a big cat person. I believe we got her in 2020. At that time, I think the previous owners said she was 7 or 8 years old. She is pretty mellow, but meows quite often, especially in the morning. She doesn't seem to be a fan of being held, but is very friendly. Loves to be pet. She recently was let outside and has shown that she loves to be there. She spits up quite a bit. Lots of fir around the house. Loves to lay in bed with people. I have no idea what her breed is. Was required to pick a breed so I simply chose the first one.

Meet Tempest, our little miracle girl. When she first arrived at FDHS this summer, she was barely hanging on. If help had come even a few days later, she wouldn’t have survived. She was painfully emaciated, covered in fleas and so weak that the light in her blue eyes was almost gone.But Tempest fought. And we fought for her.With round-the-clock care, good food, meds and endless love, she slowly came back to life. Her eyes brightened. Her tiny body grew stronger. And that sweet, social, snuggly personality began to shine through. Today, you’d never guess how close she came to not getting her second chance.Tempest is beyond affectionate. She adores people, loves other cats and would likely do well with dogs too. She’s playful, cuddly and wants nothing more than a human to love with her whole heart.She’s perfect… except for one challenge.Tempest has struggled to learn consistent litter box habits. We’ve tried so many things, but in a shelter environment, it’s nearly impossible to give her the individualized routine she needs. What we don’t want is for her to spend her life confined to a cage because of something she simply hasn’t had the right environment to overcome.Tempest needs a very special adopter. Someone with rescue experience, patience and a willingness to help her continue the journey she fought so hard to survive.If you’re the type of person who loves a project, believes in second chances and wants to change a life, Tempest is waiting for you. She’s a survivor, a sweetheart and a soul worth fighting for.**Spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention**
