Our rescue was able to get her to safety, and from there, her journey turned into something extraordinary.<br/><br/>When we brought Tess in, we discovered she had a severely infected uterus and needed an emergency spay to save her life. Even after surgery, this girl never stopped being a devoted mom. She went right back to feeding and caring for her kittens as if nothing had happened. That’s who Tess is — gentle, resilient, and endlessly loving.<br/><br/>🌼 Why Tess is truly special<br/>Resilient spirit — survived abandonment, surgery, and still put her babies first<br/><br/>Sweet temperament — affectionate, calm, and grateful for every bit of kindness<br/><br/>Supermom energy — nursed her kittens through recovery without missing a beat<br/><br/>Ready for her own happy ending — she deserves a home that loves her as fiercely as she loves others<br/><br/>🌟 Availability<br/>Tess will be ready for adoption soon, once she finishes weaning her babies. She’s healing beautifully, and her gentle personality is shining through more every day.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a cat with a heart of gold — a cat who has survived the worst and still chooses love — Tess is your girl.

Sonya's Hope for Felines's Adoption Policy
The potential adopter reaches out to me with interest in a particular cat or kitten. They complete an application. Their vet is called to make sure they are responsible pet owners. Personal reference is also called. Application is reviewed to make sure that the person is responsible, financially, emotionally, and physically. The landlord is contacted if applicable. A meet and greet is scheduled if all checks out. A home visit with the potential adopter takes place to verify that the home is safe (virtual option may be available). Application fee is paid, contract is signed, and cat/kitten is delivered to his/her new home.
