About Thistle

Thistle was born in April 2026 at a feed supply store and was just four weeks old when he was found with his mom and siblings. Initially frightened and skittish, Thistle has shown remarkable progress through the patience and love he's received in foster care. Now, he’s ready to find a family that can provide him with a safe and nurturing environment. This sweet, playful, and curious little guy may be shy at first—he might even hide while he adjusts to new surroundings. However, given time and space, he blossoms into a loving companion. Thistle enjoys the company of both people and other pets, making him a perfect addition for homes with dogs or cats. He is looking for a patient family who can help him continue to build confidence and experience the joys of life. All Goode Life cats, including Thistle, are spayed, vaccinated, and dewormed. They come with their medical history, rabies certificate and tag, and a registered microchip. Interested in Thistle? Fill out an application and mention his name.
