About Thelma
Thelma spent her early years hoping for kindness she rarely received—adopted as a kitten, she ended up left outside by people who didn't treat her well. Since coming to safety, she's slowly rebuilt trust, learning that gentle voices and caring hands mean safety. Even after everything, Thelma adores people. She wants to be by your side, in your lap, or snuggled up on your chest at night. Sunbathing in the window and rolling on catnip toys are close seconds, but her first love is companionship. She chirps and chats, always happy to keep you company around the house—even in the bathroom. After her rough start, Thelma can feel nervous with fast movements or when someone tries to pick her up suddenly. If startled, she might let out a little hiss—not out of aggression, just fear. A mild daily anxiety med, easily disguised in her food, helps ease her nerves. Other pets stress her out, so she needs to be the only cat in the home. If you want a loyal shadow and are patient and gentle, Thelma will lavish you with affection and make you feel like the center of her world. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
