Abyssinians are not numerous as a breed in Britain, with perhaps
300-400 kittens born each year.
This is in contrast to the most popular breeds of cat, whose kitten births number many
thousands each year. As a result, there are often more people wanting an
Abyssinian than
there are kittens available, so it is wise to seek one out as early as possible.
Our Secretary and Kitten Registrar, Mrs. Kay Dodson, keeps a nationwide list of breeders
and kittens born - Check out the
List of Breeders

If you can offer a secure, happy home to an Aby kitten, we assure you they are well worth seeking
out. Abyssinians are beautiful from the moment they are born. Yes they can be naughty
and slightly mad; they can also be extremely loving and sensitive towards their human companions.
They are generally healthy and robust and make excellent friends to children, dogs and other
cats, so long as they are introduced carefully and at a young age. The breeder of your new
kitten will be able to advise you on this. Abys do tend to like wandering out of doors, but it is
wise to keep them firmly indoors at least until they are neutered at 6-9 months old. If you live
near a busy road, your Abyssinian will be safer and quite content to be an indoor cat so long as you
provide company (either yourself or a feline friend), a scratching post, plenty of toys and activities
and above all lots of love, which will be returned a hundredfold.
