Tessa's Story

Tessa is a 3-year-old who's been with us since 6/25/25, and she's the definition of soft and sensitive. She raised her kittens with love, but she stayed timid even after being separated. Then she met Crystal, and everything changed! It was an instant best-friend bond. With Crystal by her side, Tessa is gaining confidence every day. These two girls are a true bonded pair who help each other shine. <br/><br/>Interested in adopting? <br/>Please fill out our Cat Adoption Application here: bit.ly/GCASCatAdoptionApplication
