Tessa's Story

Tessa is a 3-year-old who has been with us since 6/25/25, and she is the definition of soft and sensitive. She remained timid until she met Crystal, one of our other cats. From the moment they were introduced, the two became instant best friends. With Crystal by her side, Tessa is growing more confident every day, and together they bring out the very best in each other. These two girls are a truly bonded pair whose quiet love and mutual support make them incredibly special.<br/><br/>Interested in adopting?<br/>Please fill out our Cat Adoption Application here: bit.ly/GCASCatAdoptionApplication<br/><br/>Want to check out all our furrballs: bit.ly/GCASPetfinder<br/><br/>Our cat adoption fee is $50.
