I dont know what kind of food they gave her at the selter but ive feed her Rachael Ray Nutrish. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 months and 12 days old

A sudden change in diet can lead to GI upset in the form of diarrhea, which Abby may have. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food for 6 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
