About Thelma

Meet Thelma, a delightful medium-haired tortie kitten who always seems to carry an expression of surprise. With her tortie markings, especially around her eyes, she has a captivating and sweet look. Thelma, along with her sister Louise, were discovered under a historic deck by the Detroit canals. Initially a bit underweight, they've worked their way up to a healthier 4 lbs each and are approximately 14 weeks old. Though they were at an age where socialization can be tricky, Thelma has made impressive progress in a short time. She’s curious and playful, keen on affection when she feels comfortable. Thelma is playful, favoring string toys, and has a quirky habit of napping in the sink. While she may seem shy at first, she’s showing signs of her affectionate side. As a bonded pair, Thelma and Louise must be adopted together. They enjoy playful wrestling and rely on one another for companionship and confidence. If you're ready for two charming tortie sisters that will flourish side by side, Thelma and Louise are waiting for you!
