Abby cat rescue temporarily shuts intake with over 100 kittens in care

ABBOTSFORD — Abby Cat Daddy, a feline rescue group in Abbotsford, announced Saturday (Sept. 5) that it will not be taking in any more cats for at least two weeks to better support the furballs already under its roof.

“Right now, we simply cannot ethically bring more cats into our care without risking the quality of care provided to the cats already depending on us, and that is a line we will not cross,” said Logan Bryan, founder of Abby Cat Daddy. 

The list of intakes includes stray cats, owner surrenders, transfers from other groups, and new trap-neuter-return sites beyond those the organization is already working on.

The nonprofit says it currently has “dozens” of adult and teenage cats, along with 105 kittens under six months, not all of which are ready for adoption.

“Some are too young or still intact. Some are still working on socialization. And right now, we are also caring for kittens and cats being treated for GI issues, upper respiratory infections, ringworm and other medical concerns.”

During the temporary closure, the team is looking to get those intakes healthy and socialized, support foster families who may just be getting back from summer vacations, and find homes for adoptable cats.

“Sometimes, being a responsible rescue means saying no,” Bryan added. “We hate saying no. But saying yes when we don’t have the resources to properly care for another animal isn’t helping. It only shifts the crisis onto the cats already depending on us.”
