Tabbi was a wee cat turned into S.A.F.E. House Cat Rescue in 2002.  Tabbi's story, as told to me, was that of an abandoned cat whom a couple of military families took pity on.  Although she was never invited into their homes, one family fed her for 3 years, and upon their departure from Hickam AFB, the family who moved into their home continued to provide her food.  Sadly this last family didn't want Tabbi either, however they did turn her into the shelter in the hopes someone would adopt her.

​

Always extremely quiet and reserve, no one chose Tabbi until just over a year after S.A.F.E. House closed its doors (the remaining cats were housed at another location, and continued to be cared for by volunteers, until all were adopted). Shortly before it was time to prepare Tabbi for her trans-Pacific and North American trip, Tabbi's foster mom noticed a change in her behavior, and a veterinarian confirmed she wasn't feeling well. Tests revealed Tabbi was in renal failure.  Her trip to join her new family in Maryland in November 2005 was cancelled, and as her condition worsened, we made the sad, but correct decision to release Tabbi from her body. - Pam, May 2006
