Freesia

Freesia came to Abbey Cats from a rescue in northern Ontario after giving birth to 3 adorable babies. In recent weeks, she also adopted and cared for our little only child, Tommy. She treated Tommy like he was her own, teaching him excellent social skills, and allowing him to nurse with the rest of her squad. As Freesia's babies are being adopted, we are starting to get a much better sense of her sparkling personality. She is clever and confident, affectionate but not in your face. She is playful, curious, and very friendly with the other adult cats in her foster home. Freesia is EXTREMELY PASSIONATE about Costco rotisserie chicken. In exchange for a piece of meatbird, Freesia will: walk on two paws (forward and backward), try and copy what foster mom says, jump up and down on her back paws, spin in a circle, and possible commit murder(?) She also makes an adorable, grumbly "NOMNOMNOM" sound while she is eating it. In her past life, Freesia's name was "Fitz" but it was changed when she came to Abbey Cats because we already have a "Fitz" up for adoption. Foster mom has continued to use the name Fitz because she very obviously knows it and comes when she is called. It would be great if, when she is adopted, Freesia is given a name that at least sounds a bit like "Fitz" as she is so responsive, but that is not mandatory. Freesia bonded with the 8-year-old child in her foster home long before connecting with any of the adults, and genuinely loves children. We would really like to see this sweet little void go to a home with children or where children visit fairly frequently. Freesia needs to be adopted to a family that has a Costco membership (for chickens). She is very, very cat-social and will do much better in a home with at least one other kitty pal. She likes our extremely calm service dog, but is not super keen on our more enthusiastic frenchie/boston mix yet. That could change when her last two babies are adopted. Notably, she has shown no aggression, just a few hisses when the dog was being a snorty weirdo.
