Tess's Story

Hi, my name is Tess. My human mom is moving and can't take me with her. She is working with Second Chance Companions help me find a home where I can live out my senior years. I am only about 10 years old and my human mom thinks I would be best as an only cat. I might be timid at first, but once I get comfortable, I am really a great companion to the two legged family members, but I have decided that I don't like the other 4 legged members of the house. In my perfect new home, I would be the companion of someone that is retired and home more. I can be very playful and I like to hunt toy mice and catnip can really be a treat! I have even been known to play fetch with my toys. If you have to go the store or run errands, I will happily greet you when you come home. I have lived an indoor life, and that suits me just fine. A perch by the window would be nice - so I can watch the birds and squirrels. I will be brought current on my vaccines, I am microchipped, and very good with the litterbox.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application.

Second Chance Companions's Adoption Policy

Although we do not run an independent shelter, we maintain a list with available pets in private homes just waiting to have a family of their own. If you are interested in adopting, and committed to providing a loving home for the duration of a pet's lifetime, we have many who would love to be your new companion. SCC is not a first-come, first-served organization, as we are looking for the best possible homes for the pets we have listed. Thus, we are not in a rush to put them into a new home ASAP and would rather take the time to find the best homes. We do our best to respond in a timely manner, but since we have a limited number of adoption counselors and receive many applications every day, this is not instantaneous (currently, it can take up to one week before your application is processed). If you are interested in finding a pet for your family, it is very important to fill out the adoption application completely. We have been unable to contact a number of prospective families due to common errors such as missing/incorrect phone numbers and email addresses. It is important to write down the name of the counselor who responds to your application, since we do not have a central location. Counselors are assigned to specific applications, so if you know who you are working with, it will make answering your questions or inquiries much quicker, as we will know where to forward them. Due to the overwhelming number of applications we receive, we can only accept applications for pets that are currently available. SCC cannot be held liable for any pre-existing conditions or misrepresentations unknown to them. Minimum adoption fees: Cats: Kittens (6 months and younger): $150 Teenagers (6 months to 1 yr): $125 Cats over 1 yr: $100 Exceptions: Senior (10 yrs or older) or Lifelong Medical Issues: $50 Senior to Senior adoption: $35 Purebred (with papers): $150 and up Dogs: Puppies (7 months and younger): $250+ Dogs over 7 months: $200+ Exceptions: Senior (determined by breed) or Lifelong Medical Issues: $60+ Purebred (with papers): $250 and up
