About Tess

Meet Tess, a charming little tabby who stands out as the only one of her siblings in Jenna's litter. Although she is the shyest of the group, Tess has a delightful quirky side that makes her especially endearing. With her big, expressive eyes, some have even joked that she resembles a tiny barn owl. She's a playful little acrobat, often found flipping upside down and squeezing herself into quirky nooks around her space. Her favorite spot is a cat tree tucked away in a cozy corner, serving as both a fortress and a playful launching pad. Tess enjoys chasing her toys, whether it’s a butterfly spinner or the tiered ball track she shares with her sister, Tilly. While Tess might need some time to adjust and build her confidence in a new home, her playful spirit and unique personality are sure to shine through. With a bit of patience and a comfortable corner to explore, she will undoubtedly steal your heart. Tess has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccinations. She is also negative for FIV, FeLV, and heartworms. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
