Tessa's Story

Meet Tessa! Tessa is a beautiful 3-year-old black and white kitty with a tender heart and a quiet resilience. She's a nervous girl, but with patience and kindness, she's been steadily coming out of her shell-and she's already made incredible progress. Tessa is now beginning to seek out attention, showing her sweet, gentle personality more each day. She may take a little time to trust, but once she does, you'll discover a loving companion who just wants to feel safe and cherished. This brave girl has worked so hard to get where she is, and now she's ready for the next step-a forever home where she can continue to blossom. If you believe in second chances and have room in your heart for a shy but oh-so-sweet kitty, Tessa is waiting for you. Come meet her at the Animal Protective League located at 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. We are open every day from noon to 5 p.m.
