About Thelma

Every great adventure needs courage, curiosity, and someone special to share the journey, and Thelma is that special kitty for someone out there. This sweet, 3-year-old tortie sports a beautiful blend of calico and gray fur, with short, cashmere-soft strands that are simply irresistible. While she tends to hang back as the more cautious sister, Thelma can’t resist joining in on the fun after a little observation. When you enter her space, you might see her hesitate at first as she watches her sister, Louise, collect the spotlight. But Thelma is no wallflower. She's adventurous too, as evidenced when she bravely explored her surroundings the moment her foster mom opened the door to their safe room. Unlike her daring sister, who loves to climb, Thelma balances out the duo with a bit more caution but proves her athletic skills when she bounds around the room after a laser light. This affectionate girl enjoys cozy spots where she feels at ease. Loud noises might still send her scurrying for cover, so a patient family is crucial to help her build confidence at her own pace. The bond between Thelma and Louise is incredibly strong, and they are looking for a forever home together. Could you be the one to give them that special life they deserve?
