Awww Tess,the wonderkitty
You should show what she looked like,when she was deemed too old and was going to be put down,if it were not for you taking her home.
But OMG,those paws

Chico, If Tess could be human...she would. She follows me around the house like my shadow. She is loves her morning kisses..whcih can and usually last for 1.5 hours. I get a prewash before every shower...maytag has nothing on her.

She's a beauty. You would never know she is the same kitty as in that other picture. Just goes to show what some love and kindness can do. How wonderful of you to have taken her and given her that.

Cpietra, that is the first time I've read the story of Tess and seen her "before" pic. :sad:

You and Canine14 are both amazing. Did you ever send the "before" and "after" pics to the SPCA and newspapers? What a beautiful girl she turned out to be.

I've never read Tess's story before. :sad:

She must think she's in heaven now, though, that's for sure! So beautiful and so well loved!

You did a fantastic job, cpietra and Canine14!
