Contessa (aka Tessa)'s Story

Meet Contessa—Tessa if you're friends, which you will be.<br/><br/>This sweet-tempered, easygoing little black domestic shorthair with the big, innocent eyes has cracked the code on personal space: she loves being near you, not on you. She'll supervise your Zoom calls from the desk corner, claim the other couch cushion during Netflix binges, and absolutely sleep on your bed once she's decided you're her person. Affectionate, smart and social, Tessa fits in easily and will thrive with people who like a friendly, occasionally goofy cat who loves wand toys and will absolutely stretch her legs across her litter box because she decided to nap beside it for reasons only she understands. If you want a cat with personality who wants to bond with you, respects your work calls and claims your blankets, that is Tessa.<br/><br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $200
