About Tessa

Meet Tessa, a sweet young girl looking for her forever home. This lovely black Domestic Short Hair was found injured, having suffered from a leather collar that had gotten deeply embedded in her chest and arm. Thankfully, she received the necessary care, and Tessa is now healing well in her foster home. Tessa is a bit shy at first but warms up quickly with a little patience. She would thrive best in a home with another young cat to keep her company. While she hasn't had much exposure to kids or dogs, she has a friendly disposition and might adapt well given time. If you're interested in giving Tessa the love and stability she deserves, please complete an adoption application. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
