Last week there was a desperate rescue of over 20 cats in the
Maryland/Virginia/Chesapeake Bay area. The cats were left in filthy
ramshackle cages when their eldery owner died suddenly. They have all
now been taken in by a friend of the owner who is slowly getting to
know them. Included are 4 Abyssinians, 9 Russian Blues, 2 Aby/Russian
Blue mixes (we think?), 1 Tonkinese, 2 orange toms, and 1 unidentified
beige cat with a fluffy tail. Of the 4 Abys, 3 are female, 1 of which
is thought to be older (over 10). They are thin w/dull coats but with
improved nutrition and care are gaining. We hope to have pictures of
the Abyssinians and Aby mixes soon. The mixes are said to be
exquisite. If you are interested in the Russian Blues, go to

These cats were found in heartbreaking, deplorable conditions. Because
of this, the woman in charge of their care does not want to stress
them further by shipping them to new homes. Therefore, please limit
inquiries to homes within driving distances only. They also need to
live in quiet households. Their exact location is 3 hours SE of
Washington, DC.
