Hi! I’m Thelma, and I’m ready to find the human who will finally love me the way I’ve always dreamed of being loved. I’m about 5 years old, and I haven’t had an easy life. I was adopted as a kitten, but the people who were supposed to care for me were unkind and eventually dumped me outside. Because of that, I didn’t know much kindness… until the rescue found me. Now I’m safe, and I’m learning every day that gentle hands and soft voices can be trusted. Even after everything I’ve been through, I still LOVE people — seriously, I can’t get enough! I love talking, being petted, sunbathing in a warm window, and playing with catnip toys. If you go to the bathroom, I’m coming with you. If you go to bed, I’m sleeping right on your chest. I just want to be close to my person. Sometimes I get nervous when someone approaches me too quickly or tries to pick me up in a small space — that’s when I might give a little hiss. I don’t mean it… I just get scared for a second. I’m on a tiny dose of anxiety medicine (my “kitty prozac”), which I eat right in my food, and it helps me feel a lot more relaxed. Because of what happened to me outside, other animals make me stressed and afraid, so I need to be the only kitty in my home. But I promise I’ll make up for it — I have a big personality and so much love to give. I follow my foster mom everywhere and rarely leave her side unless I’m sunbathing. When the rescue first saved me, I was terrified of everything. Now all I want is someone to love… someone patient, gentle, and kind. If you give me a chance, I’ll give you endless cuddles, constant companionship, and a loyal little shadow for life. Love, Thelma
