About Thelma

Thelma, a lovely calico cat, recently came into care with her friends Sneakers and Louise after their previous owners could no longer care for them. While they are all adjusting to their new temporary home, Thelma stands out as the most outgoing of the trio. With a gentle approach, she will happily come to you for attention. Sneakers, her gray and white brother, enjoys a good head scratch and also responds well to calm interactions. Louise, on the other hand, is a bit shyer and tends to hide, but she's beginning to explore her surroundings and is growing more inquisitive by the day. Thelma is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and housetrained. She's looking for a loving home that will give her the patience and care she needs to truly shine. If you're ready to help her settle in and provide her with a forever home, this could be your chance. Collierville Animal Services charges an adoption fee of $80, and the process includes a dedicated time for each adopter to meet the animals and complete the adoption. Every cat adopted is spayed or neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations, ensuring they're ready to join their new families. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
