My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tessa is a stunning long-haired tuxie with a tender heart and a luxurious coat that turns heads wherever she goes. After losing her beloved owner, she has blossomed beautifully in one of our wonderful foster homes. Though she can be shy at first, patience goes a long way-once she feels safe, her sweet and affectionate personality shines.

From her foster mom:
"Although she starts out timid, she gains confidence the longer she's out exploring. After roaming the house, she settles on the couch beside me, and that's when the purring starts. She's become much more playful, too! Mornings start with breakfast followed by an hour-long cuddle in the rocking chair. Evenings are her playtime-she loves to bat around a ball, leap onto the cat tower or window sill, and burn off her energy. Afterward, she always comes for cuddles and a brushing. Her coat is just beautiful now! She even enjoys having her claws trimmed."

Tessa is on a special diet, and her gorgeous long coat will need regular grooming to keep it healthy and tangle-free. A calm, quiet home where she can settle in at her own pace would be ideal. With gentle care and patience, she will reward you with companionship, cuddles, and her growing confidence.

If you're looking for a loving, soft-hearted companion who enjoys both playtime and quiet snuggles, Tessa might be your perfect match.

Our Charter:



The BC SPCA Charter is the foundation that guides the work we do:

Whereas:

The world is inhabited by many species sharing a common ecosystem of air, earth, and water. We recognize and value our interconnectedness with all animals.

Therefore:

The BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for the animals of the world we share.



We pledge our energies to inspire and mobilize society to create a world in which all animals, who depend on humans for their well-being, experience, as a minimum, five essential freedoms:



1. Freedom from hunger and thirst

2. Freedom from pain, injury, and disease

3. Freedom from distress

4. Freedom from discomfort

5. Freedom to express behaviours that promote well-being.
