Description:
This beautiful and scared girl was brought to us after her dad succumbed to a long battle with cancer. The couple had promised the brother that they would find her and her mate, Squigon, a good home but after being unable to find one for them they were forced to bring them to us. With tears in her eyes the sister-in-law handed her over to us. I promised that I would find them both a good home.
Scout is very docile and loved to snuggle with her dad on the bed. I want these two to be adopted together so that they are not traumatized more than they have already been. Many people don’t realize that animals have feelings like we do and suffer from loss the same way that we do. My goal is to try my best for them and let them know that they are still loved until that special someone can take over for me. With that in mind, if adopted together, their combined adoption fee will be reduced to $200.

According to www.cats.lovetoknow.com, Tabby cats may be extremely common, but that doesn't make them any less popular. Strictly speaking, Tabby cats aren't actually a specific breed of cat. Tabby is actually a coat pattern, and it's thought that if cats were allowed to breed indiscriminately, more than half of the cat population would be Tabby. Stripes and whorls are simply part of a cat's makeup. Tabbies are often "dressed up" with white paws, and perhaps a white bib.

Tabbies can come in several colors, including:

Orange/Ginger, with a lighter pattern overlay; Grey, with a darker pattern overlay; and Brown with a black pattern overlay.
Some Tabby cats are varicolored - that is, they have some Tabby patches on a mostly white coat, or orange and brown Tabby patches mixed on a white coat. Oddly, these variations only occur on an otherwise white-coated cat. That is, you simply don't see tabby patches on an otherwise black cat. No one knows why this should be.
The most common pattern for a Tabby cat is tiger-striped, less commonly referred to as a "Mackerel Tabby". This terminology isn't obvious until you consider that the stripes resemble the bones of a fish.
Another Tabby pattern is the blotched Tabby, also (confusingly) called the Classic Tabby. This is characterized by swirls, and the rings around the legs and tail are often much wider than the rings of the Mackerel Tabby's.
Less obvious patterns such as the ticked pattern of the Abyssinian (with fur ticked like a squirrel's) are also considered Tabby, but many consider inclusion of this pattern a bit of a stretch for the common Tabby type.
One of the most interesting variations is a cat with Siamese coloring and Tabby points; that is, the fawn-colored body and face, with legs and tail showing faint or distinct Tabby markings in the point coloration.

Tabby cats have unusual and attractive facial markings, similar to the tiger's. Most of them have what can be seen to be a letter "M" on their foreheads between their ears, and a number of legends have arisen to account for this. The "M" has variously been supposed to have been bestowed on a favored or brave cat by either the Virgin Mary or the prophet Mohammed. Never mind that neither of these figures would have been familiar with the English alphabet. Tabby eyes have the long stripe of "eyeliner" on the cheek, similar to the Egyptian symbol, the 'Eye of Horus' (also known as the Eye of Ra), and it is possible that the sign was adopted from the cat, who was revered in Ancient Egypt and often mummified and buried with its owner. Whatever their origin, Tabby cats are exceedingly popular and it's doubtful we'll ever see their decline.
