Asthma, need advice

I am sorry that Jasmine is still frightened. Have you tried Feliway? We use multi-cat. I also have a supplement that I give our anxious kitty, Jarvis. For perspective, it took me about 5 months after Jarvis came home before I could touch him without upsetting him, and really about a year to gain his trust.
Now that i have it, I can do almost anything with him. Pick him up, carry him, hug him. He just took a while to figure it out. I hope Jasmine is that way too.

I don't have a ton of experience with cats, Diablo, our F5 savannah, was our first cat (he turns 5 this summer!), but I have found that our kitties like to be groomed. You may find that Jasmine and Abbas respond positively to alone time with you or your girlfriend where you make a fuss over them and groom them.

Re: your saltwater and freshwater tanks. You may want to get secure covers. We have an ELOS 160XL and a JBJ30 gallon rimless. The ELOS is in our living room, the JBJ in our bedroom.

We have covers on both, even though it completely destroys the design.

We have covers because after years of no interest, Diablo went swimming. Then Mickey did. Little baby Rey hasn't tried yet, but we went through a period where Jarvis would dangle from the rim of the ELOS with one paw, and swat at the fish with the other. I've caught Mickey and Rey on top of the JBJ rimless several times. Thank goodness the tempered glass cover is strong. You just don't know when they are going to look up at the tank and go, "oh. that looks interesting. I will check it out."
Washing a cat that took a swim in a saltwater aquarium, if the cat isn't used to being bathed, will REALLY be a challenge.

Bathing Abbas Will ne impossible, he is afraid of water since he was born.
I use waterless wipes for some of my cats - I like the human ones because they are large and thick and do a pretty good job.
If my girlfriend is not at home, she stay at the same place all the day, the first place I put her when i bring back her home.
It sounds like she has had a bit of a rough time before coming to you, and possibly has been mistreated by a male which is why she avoids you. Try to be patient with her, see if you can engage her with a wand toy without trying to touch her or otherwise engage her. Also, many times cats really hate being touched on or around the head so if you try to pet her (if you ever get that close) try petting her back rather than her head.

Since 2 days ago, Abbas vomit his food 2-3 times A day during the night. He eat less.

Is it the food, or only the heat température ?

How hot is the temperature? I would not tend to assume it is that when he is vomiting. Lethargy and lack of appetite can happen with high heat but not vomiting. And hiding away under the bed seems concerning. I think I would consult your vet!

I agree with Brigitte - his symptoms are not normal and should be evaluated by a vet asap.
