Story
Meet Yamil, this gentle boy is approximately 4 yrs old and 7.5 lbs. Yamil was found on the street in very bad conditions, he had wounds on his body and had lost a part his ear (see pictures). He was taken to the Vet right away, the Vet said it seemed like Yamil was attacked by a dog. Yamil was hospitalized for a couple of weeks and he recovered well, gained weight, and his wounds healed. Yamil tested positive to Feline FELV/FIV, therefore he won't be able to live with other cats, and he must be the only one in his future household. Since discharged from the hospital he has been living with foster mom that loves him very much! he has a human sister too. Yamil is sweet, loving, friendly, he loves to be petted, uses his cat litter box, loves to chill by the window. He has great appetite. Yamil is a gentle soul and deserves to live a happy life.

Story
Ginny is the sweetest most perfect cat you will ever meet, we took her in when her human sadly passed from covid. Ginny deserves someone that can give her all the attention and pets she needs, preferably that she be the only cat/pet in the house, she gets allong with other cats but sadly she ends up being bullied or taken advantage of. She loves soft blankets, comes for cuddles, doesnt scratch where she is not supposed to and she is very soft. I love her but I think she deserves someone better than us, that can spoil her and be her only focus, my husband has 2 other cats and i have a dog wich chases her and she just stress about. She is a very independent girl wich I identify with, she has never ever go to the bathroom in the wrong place and if there is something wrong with it she will let you know.

Story
My husband and I are moving across country, and we’re unable to bring our cat. Figaro is a 7 year old male, neutered, long haired, tuxedo. We’ve exhausted all efforts to re-home with friends and family, as well as contacting numerous shelters. In all honesty, he’s not good with other animals and takes a lot of warming up to. He is very sweet with my husband and I, but scared of others. He’ll require a caregiver with patience, experience, and a lot of love. We got him as a rescue, with a human bite mark on his ear, and a broken tail. We leave for Florida in a week. Anyone interested, please reach out.

Story
Hello, I’m looking for a forever home for my two cats, Kiki and Koko. Unfortunately one of kids turned out to be allergic to cats 😭😭 and we are not able to keep them in our home anymore. Koko is the grey/white, she is 7 months old, very friendly, constantly looking for human interaction. Kiki is the orange/white, she is also 7 months old, a bit more reserved but does good with humans. They are sisters, both of them are up to date with their shots. I will also throw in a semi new cat tower and two litter boxes. *im not too sure what their BREED is

Story
Allura is a very special girl near and dear to our hearts. She is a spunky, pocket sized cat with a playful spirit who loves to shower you in little kisses. She's earned the nickname "Chirp" for all the cute little noises she makes. She gets along great with cats, dogs and children. When we rescued Allura with her siblings almost a year ago we discovered at her first vet appointment that she had a significant heart murmur, a condition she was most likely born with. Now, with a lot of kittens these heart murmurs will resolve on their own. Allura's did not. We spoke to several other rescues who guided us that getting an echocardiogram, while may shed light on her specific heart condition, would ultimately lead down a rabbit hole of diagnostics with no real solution to Allura's broken heart. Open heart surgery is too expensive and dangerous for Tabby Nation to be able to consider it a legitimate solution in Allura's case. Yes, it is true that Allura's life expectancy may be shortened because of her heart condition, but she also may live a very full and happy life without needing any intervention. Cardiac cases in cats are just like that and you never know which end of it you're going to get. While she is happily residing with her foster family, we would love for this sweet girl with a heart too good for this world to have a shot at a forever home, no matter how long she has. If you're the type of person who has a heart big enough to embrace a broken hearted cat like Allura, please reach out to us so we can discuss the details of this special adoption.

Story
Judah is a thicc boned boy with the biggest heart and all the love in the world to give. He was rescued from a colony in Chino where he was having rendezvous with the lady cats in the area. A wonderful rescuer in the area put an end to his frat partying and then he was transferred down to Tabby Nation. You will not meet a sweeter cat than Judah. He loves to be held, kissed, cuddled and pet aggressively. No type of big love is too big for Judah, even toddler-pulling-on-tail type of love. This confident man is great with cats (dogs unknown), kids and humans of all ages. He is FIV positive due to his scrappy life outdoors but as long as he lives a life indoors free from all the germs in the wild you wouldn't even know it. FIV+ cats can live just fine with other cats who are negative because the virus can only be spread through mating and significant blood transfer. His life expectancy will not be inhibited just because he's FIV+. Judah is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, had flea treatment and is microchipped. If you need big love from a big boy in your life today apply for Judah!
