I'm not even really sure how it happened.It's sort of a blur. I know I had a mama, then I was alone and hungry. Luckily I made my way to shelter. I hid for a little while before some hoomans scooped me up and said I was too little and cute to be all on my own outside. I guess they're right. Fortunately, they knew a cool rescue, Speak for the Unspoken . A group so cool saying they would make sure I am always safe and the best part help me find my own family I'm Tessa. ? I'm currently in a foster home with the rescue. I'm living with 6 other cats and a silly, big animal, (Australian Shepherd.) My foster parents say I'm so adorable and I'm doing an amazing job. My foster mom is always taking my picture and kissing on me; I often sit near her; she likes my company.. I love my wet food and treats. Sometimes I get so excited for my squeezy treats, I don't want to share, I remember being hungry and they're soooooo yummy! I'm enjoying playing with my new friends, being loved and not hungry anymore, I happily purr a lot. I am ready for my own special family again when they are ready for me. I will be up to date on my vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. I'm a cute little bundle of joy. You can apply to adopt me and have me and your own family and speak for the unspoken.com/adopt. It would be fun and I'm a good girl. ***PLEASE READ*** WE DO NOT RESPOND TO PETFINDER OR EMAIL INQUIRIES. Please fill out an application on our website if you are interested in adopting this dog.

Tormund ~Courtesy Post~
Adult • Male • Large
**courtesy post** Name: Tormund Gender: Male, neutered & up to date on vaccines Age- 5 years old Weight: 12lbs Impairments: Diabetes; needs 2xshots daily of insulin and to be on high protein, low carb diet. Potty trained: Yes – uses litter box Good with Dogs: No Good with cats: Yes Needs fenced yard: N/A – He is used to not going out and won’t seek it out but can be curious. Knows several commands: Knows his name, will come if called Location: Columbus, Ohio – Sawmill/Bethel rd area Energy level: Normal Hi there! My name is Tormund…I bet you are wondering how I have such a cool name….my mom is my rescuer and said when I was kitten, Game of Thrones was very popular and that I was silly, strong and confident like Tormund….a wildling!? I don’t know who that guy is, but I am pretty cool! My current owner now got me back when my adopted family gave me up after finding out that I was sick with diabetes. I lost a lot of weight and had to go to the bathroom a lot – I was taken to the vet and I was diagnosed with diabetes! Don’t be scared…it’s not contagious! I do need to be on a special diet (I currently eat Koha limited ingredient canned food) it needs to be a high protein and low carb food. I love food…..especially treats! As long as I can have them and I don’t eat it up too fast. But I get fed once in the morning and then get my insulin shot and then again in the evening and get my insulin shot. I take my shots like a pro! My family now has two small dogs and three cats. I am not very good with dogs and I get so scared that I end up attacking them. My mom tried to do what she could…..but I don’t think a life with dogs is good for me. There are also 3 cats……and I LOVE other cats. So far….the road has been a bit bumpy…..you see the cats are very bonded and they like the dogs…. So they hiss at me a lot and won’t play with me…..even though I just want to play with them so badly! I have never hurt another cat or human….and at first I may be shy and hide…..but once I get used to you….I love to cuddle and just be around you – but not in a clingy way….like a normal way. I am very happy go lucky! Everyday is a great day! Mom says I always have a pep in my step. I love my toys and if you ever want to play chase with me…..I am ready! Catnip is always fun! Did I mention I get the zoomies too? I love to run around and hide and play….I have a cat tree now that looks outside and sitting there and taking naps is some of my favorite stuff to do! When I am super content and feel safe, I love to roll over on my back and just fall asleep in the middle of the room! Did I mention I love to cuddle? I am really good at it and I love to make biscuits on your tummy if you let me too! And man when I purr…….its loud. I am just a happy guy, lucky to be healthy and loved. I hope someone will see me on here and look past my special needs and actually see me….and see that I am worth the extra work. My mom is sad that she has to give me up, but right now I live in a separate room apart from the other animals….because I can’t be with the dogs….and this makes my mom sad. She also says it stresses the dogs out….they are just older grumps…..but I get it….they don’t like me and I don’t like them. So….if you have room in your heart for me, and there is no chance of dogs…..please give me a chance to be part of your family! I hope I get to meet you soon.
