Here's what the humans have to say about me:
REBECA
6 yo Female Ruddy Abyssinian
Rebeca came to rescue as an owner surrender, coming right from her owners house. Rebeca is spayed and in good health, current on shots and combo tested negative. She is tidy with her litter box habits, and isn't a fussy eater.
Rebeca loves quiet, gentle and kind people (even children)—she is very close with those people she knows but a bit more on the reserved side with strangers. She will follow you all through the house, and rub her head against your hand or leg with affection, while purring and “talking” with a small sweet voice. She loves to be combed and petted and curl up next to you on the sofa or on your lap.
It is very important for the adopter to understand the Abyssinian personality. “Abyssinians are very active, friendly, curious and playful, and almost dog-like, but are usually not "lap cats", being too preoccupied with exploring and playing as they would in their natural habitat. However, "Abys" will also usually adopt one person in the household and become their best friend, often becoming a lap cat as they are extremely affectionate animals. They are "busy" cats, and can get bored and depressed without daily activity and attention. Many Abyssinians enjoy heights, and will explore their surroundings in three dimensions, from the floor to their owner's shoulders to the top of the highest furniture. They are highly intelligent, and very independent.”
Rebeca is fostered in Pleasanton.
