TESSA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

TESSA Tolerant and calm Tessa has found a forever home. 💗 TESSA is a lovely lady cat who needs peace and time to become comfortable and trusting with people and pets; she’s on the right path and allows being petted, but we would so deeply love a home that could continue her progress and well-being. TESSA was born around July 2017 and was rescued to us in summer 2018 from a colony of 23 cats and 3 tiny, squishy kittens on Tjensvoll. Tessa was the last one we got in the trap, and we waited 22 hours in a holding pen before she finally allowed us to catch her. The kittens were all adopted out, while poor Tessa did not get the progress we had hoped for. Tessa had a foster home for a period and made good progress, and we hope to pick up where we left off on the path to giving beautiful Tessa the life she deserves.

TESSA Tålmodige rolige Tessa har fått foralltidhjem. 💗 TESSA er en herlig damepus som trenger ro og tid til å bli trygg og vant med folk og kos, hun er på god vei og lar seg nå klappe men vi skulle så inderlig hatt et hjem til henne som kunne fortsette dette arbeidet og fremgangen. TESSA er født ca juli 2017, og ble reddet inn til oss sommeren 2018 fra en koloni på Tjensvoll med 23 andre katter & med 3 små skrøpelige kattunger på slep. Tessa var den aller siste vi fikk i fellen, og vi satt blant annet i 22 timer i strekk på siste vakt før hun endelig lot seg lokke. Ungene ble alle 3 adoptert ut mens Tessa stakkars ikke fikk den fremgangen vi hadde håpet på. Tessa hadde fosterhjem en periode og gjorde da gode fremskritt og vi håper å ta opp tråden igjen der på veien videre mot å gi skjønne Tessa det livet hun fortjener. 🖤

About TESSA

What life with TESSA looks like

TESSA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Lucas Dyrevern in Stavanger.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇳🇴Adopting from Norway

Norwegian rescues require thorough background checks. Animals leave with a Nordic pet passport and full vetting. Norway is outside the EU so import rules differ slightly — TRACES applies.

Frequently asked

Adopting TESSA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about TESSA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Lucas Dyrevern handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw TESSA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt TESSA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Lucas Dyrevern will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is TESSA already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if TESSA isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Lucas Dyrevern early rather than rehoming privately; they know TESSA and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NO). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
