New Kittens for 2008
As our older kittens move to their new homes, we await the arrival of our summer litters. Please note that if you see red on any of our tiniest kittens' toes, it is nail polish for the purpose of identification so that we can track each one's growth. We will continue to add photos as kittens grow and new litters arrive. Check back often! And thanks for visiting.

Adult Cats Available for Adoption
Adult cats include retired show cats, retired breeding cats, and older kittens that we may have kept longer to assess show potential. We often place these cats with a kitten since they provide good company for each other. Contrary to popular opinion, adult cats usually have no problem bonding to a new human. Adults relish the opportunity to be spoiled as an only cat with a doting new family. Since their personalities are already developed, it is much easier to match an adult cat with a person's lifestyle. Click on any cat for a description and brief biography. We have two cats available at this time and will retire another of our queens this fall.

Nighthawke's Album
Grand Premier Abirwood's Nighthawke was our last Abyssinian. Everyone who came to our home was greeted at the door by Nighthawke. He was known and loved as an outgoing, adventurous, fun-loving cat. It was Nighthawke who pushed out one of our upstairs screens and fell to the ground only for us to find him perched in a nearby tree awaiting rescue as mentioned elsewhere on our website. Unfortunately, Nighthawke was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 14 during the fall of 2007. Following surgery to remove an aggressively growing tumor, Nighthawke bounced back and played with our Birman kittens once again. The tumor returned and Nighthawke was inevitably laid to rest on March 28th, 2008. We mourn his loss and miss him terribly. Abirwood will never be the same. ----------------------------The Rainbow Bridge----- Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content except for one small thing. They each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face. Your hands once again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.....-------------------------------------Author Unknown
