Here's what the humans have to say about me:
*Update 9/23/13: Tessa is becoming downright demanding of attention from her foster Mama. She loves pets and will follow her foster Mama around. She is also fascinated by the dog who lives in the home and keeps trying to become friends with her! She gets along so well with all the cats and dogs in the home. She just needs someone to give her a little time to come out of her shell in her new home, and she will make the best of companions. Tessa needs to go into a home with a friendly cat to help with her adjustment.
*UPDATE: Tessa is becoming bolder every day, hanging out near her Foster Mom. She's learning habits from her cat-friends, and is enjoying pets from her foster Mom!
Tessa is a shy FIV+ girl whose under a year old. She was found as a stray in Dorchester, but this girl wasn't meant to live on the streets. She's sweet and gets along very well with her foster brother and sisters (cats and a dog). She needs a home whose patient and gives her time to come out of her shell.
Tessa is very playful and loves to chase the laser light! She will make a great companion to a lonely cat, and is easy going enough that she has blended well in the multitude of personalities in her current foster home.
