My story

LOVES TO CUDDLE DURING LAP-NAPS  DOB 3/1/25 Hey there, everyone! I’m Tessa, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate brown tabby girl with white tuxedo markings. I also have a few patches of orange tabby on my face and paws, so it looks like I was splashed with caramel at a candy factory. I’m a gentle, loving girl who enjoys cuddling while I nap in Foster Meowmy’s lap. When I was about six weeks old, a Good Samaritan found me as a stray who was hanging around a Starbucks with no momma or siblings in sight. Thank heavens Foster Meowmy agreed to add me to her band of foster kittens and resident cats. Boy howdy! I was relieved to kiss the hardscrabble life good-bye when she brought me to the safe haven of her home. I was way too young to have been trying to fend for myself on the mean streets of Houston! I fit in great with all the other felines in my foster home. I enjoy tumbling and pouncing, climbing and wrestling with the younger kittens as well as chasing and romping with my best-buddy Cosmo, who’s an older foster mate. The adult resident cats have become like my aunts and uncles who’ve taught me all the manners Momma would’ve taught me if she’d been around. I’m a fun-loving gal who’s perfectly happy to entertain myself with jingle balls, catnip mice, and the tower of balls if Foster Meowmy isn’t handy to wave the feathered wand-toy or if all my foster mates are snoozing. Now I’m ready to bring my angelic face, loving disposition, and intrepid playfulness to my forever family. Could that be with you? If so, arrange to meet me today! I promised to leave tiny paw prints all over your heart! HOPE ID 25-0517-S030 If you are interested in Tessa and would like to fill out an online Cat Adoption Application, please go to http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php . Submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt, but it initiates contact with us and gets the process started.  If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site this feline will be this week-end, email us at hope@homelesspets.net , and a volunteer will get back to you.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tessa #queen-of-Starbucks, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
