About Tessa
Meet Tessa, a 9-month-old black beauty who came in as a stray with her siblings. Tessa is independent by nature but enjoys gentle attention and pets, just on her terms. She gravitates toward feline company and loves nothing more than curling up with another cat. You'll often catch her perched by the window, watching birds and the bustle outside—a true Cat TV enthusiast. Tessa will do best in a home with another cat companion and does well with older children who understand she isn’t one to play. She’s not bothered by young kids, but they might find her standoffish since she isn’t interested in playing with them. Tessa’s ideal home values her need for both independence and companionship with her feline peers. She’s house trained and has even tried walking on a leash and harness. If a low-key, affectionate cat who knows her own mind sounds like what you need, Tessa could be a fit. You can visit Tessa at Whiskerstation Cat Cafe. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
