Meet Abby, the gorgeous 2-year-old medium-haired kitty! Abby came to us as a stray, so we don’t know her history. What we do know is that Abby is very affectionate, playful and fun to watch! She loves to explore and observe her surroundings and curl up for a snooze after with her favorite human. Abby would be happiest as the only kitty in your home and as the center of attention. This cute girl is already spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. If you can give this pretty girl the home she has been dreaming of, apply today! Visit Abby at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
