About Thumbs

Meet Thumbs, the charming orange tabby who’s on a quest to master the art of indoor living. At around 2.5 years old, Thumbs may still be learning the ropes, but he’s made remarkable strides.

You’ll often find him pouncing and playing, or having fun making the unmakeable seem possible with his special thumbs. Though he's sweet, Thumbs can be a bit mouthy or nippy if things get too exciting. It's not aggression; think of it as his exuberant personality shining through. He does best with confident feline friends, as some shy companions may find his antics overwhelming. If he’s your one-and-only, he’ll thrive in an environment rich with vertical territory—tall cat trees and shelves are ideal. Thumbs loves to survey his kingdom from above and watch the world go by through sturdy window screens. His ideal home would welcome adults or older kids who appreciate a smart and slightly silly cat figuring out his way around indoors. Thumbs isn’t the sculpted housecat just yet, but he’s a delightful companion ready to bring joy to your life, one paw at a time. Come meet him and see how he’ll charm you with his antics. Just be sure to secure your closets; Thumbs has tools!
