It was June 2021 when the Haven's night employee called Koky around midnight. A woman had knocked on the door of the Haven with a garbage can containing a cat and her three kittens. She said the cat gave birth to her babies in her garden and she didn't want them there. The lady was told we were full but she said if we didn't take the cats she would just dump them on the street.
And so we welcomed mama cat Tara, along with her babies Zuzu, Callie and Tessa to the Haven. Tessa is now about 1.5 years old, all of which she has spent almost entirely in the Haven. We think it's time for Tessa to find her golden basket.
Tessa, a lovely ginger girl, is energetic, friendly and affectionate. If you are considering one of our shoulder cats to adopt, then Tessa might be the one you are looking for!
Koky has difficulty walking through the Haven without Tessa hanging on one of her shoulders. Time for a cup of coffee? There's Tessa. Time to give vitamins? Tessa. Visitors coming by? You guessed it – Tessa.
From the time she was a little kitten, this little monkey has climbed everything she can. Make sure valuables are taken off the shelves with Tessa around, because there's a good chance (okay, 100%) she'll be on the shelves.
Tessa enjoys human interaction and also gets along well with other cats and the occasional cat-friendly dog. We expect she would also do well in households with respectful children. We would like her to have a home where she will have lots of love, dedicated play and attention. In all likelihood, she will form a very strong bond with her human(s).
Because she has lived in the safety of the Haven, we want Tessa to have that same level of safety in her forever home. If allowed in the garden, it must be fully cat-protected (with the special fencing) or with a catio. Alternatively, Tessa can be kept as an indoor/house cat. We don't want Tessa to be a free-roaming cat on the street, even if it is in a quiet neighborhood. She won't understand the hazards and dangers of vehicles, so we don't want her to be exposed to that risk.
Tessa has been vaccinated against standard cat diseases and also against rabies. She will travel with her original rabies blood test results from a certified laboratory. Like all our cats, Tessa is sterilized and microchipped. She is litter box trained.
All adoptions are subject to a successful home check (conducted via video call) and an adoption fee of £195 (+/- €220) to help pay for her trip.
If you think Tessa is your golden girl then send one message to Holly via this profile.
Or contact the local volunteer Walter for your questions. We're also happy to answer questions about SHE adoption and anything else you have in mind.
If you don't want to adopt at this time, can you please help us by sharing this post?
We could use your help to bring a cat as luggage. To be a flight parent for Safe Haven Egypt. (click here). - Contact
