    Aww, she looks like such a sweet girl. Welcome to PT, Tessa! You have found the best home you could hope for.

    Thank you for adopting her - you're an angel! With patience and lots of cuddles, she will adjust in no time.

    Thank you everyone, so far so good! One day I hope she feels truly comfortable here.

    This sounds very promising. It took Ziggy several years before she really felt comfortable and part of the family and she wasn't even a feral cat. Good luck.

    I was petting Tessa twice today and she will come up near me to get treats. I'm taking it slow but am sure she will come around. She was adopted once but the lady brought her back after a week and a half because she kept hiding. The rescue TOLD her she wasn't gonna be a lap kitty for a long time if ever!
    Here's a pic I looked up from before she got adopted that time.

    Wow, don't know how I missed this thread. But I'm sure glad it was bumped so I could see that beautiful Tabby face!!

    Welcome to a wonderful Pet Talk home, Tessa! Where you are able to take your time to come out of your shell.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Her prior experience with people was none to pleasant was it?
    Poor baby. Left alone for so long & then unrealistic expectations placed
    on her. Wecome to PT Tessa. You can finally relax now, really.
