Cat Tails - Tess

Cat Tales will be stories about individual cats or groups like the Katrina cats. Here is our first installation!!!



Tess came to Barn Cats in 2009.  Her family had to give up the cat and 2 dogs due to the illness of their daughters. The girls were coming home after 5 months in the hospital! The twin girls were born 5 month premature! Imagine that! Tess had lived her entire life with the family.

Tess had been found as a tiny kitten in the middle of Hwy 287 in Tarrant County. The owner bottle fed her and she grew steadily. This was the only home she had ever known. The family was devastated but the girls had respiratory problems and the pets had to go. Everybody was crying including me. 

Tess is still here. She had never been around other cats and is not too happy about them. She is also BLACK – usually a slower placement. OH WELL – Tess will continue to sleep with me until some adoption groups and/or individual agrees to take her. She is sweet on her own terms. 

I have learned to understand that over the last year  – I just need someone else with the same sensibilities to take her home with them.  She is a cutie with very silky fur and is declawed in front.
