About Teresa (Calico) in Oxford
Teresa is waiting for you at 9 Lives Cat Rescue of Oxford MS in Oxford, MS 38655. Teresa is a gentle 7-year-old cat whose world changed when her owner developed dementia and was no longer able to care for her. Having spent her life as an only pet, Teresa is understandably overwhelmed by this sudden transition and needs time to feel safe again. She is very shy at first and may lash out when she feels insecure, but this behavior comes from fear—not from a lack of sweetness. Teresa will need a patient adopter who can give her the 2–3 weeks (or more) she needs to decompress and adjust to her new surroundings. A quiet, predictable home without children is ideal, where she won’t feel overwhelmed by noise or activity. While she was previously an only cat, she seems to tolerate other calm cats if given proper introductions and space. With time, consistency, and gentle care, Teresa has the potential to form a strong bond with her new person. She is looking for someone who understands that trust takes time—and who is willing to give her the chance to feel safe, secure, and loved again.
