My story

TEMPTATION TREATS ARE THE KEY TO HIS HEART  DOB 5/15/25 Here there, everyone! I’m Thumper, an outgoing, curious, and playful medium-haired Turkish Van mix fella, which means that I’m mostly white with grey on my head and tail. I was initially cautious when I met Foster Meowmy, but my guard came down when I discovered how it feels sooooo good when she gently scratches my cheeks, chin, and ears. I have to admit that Temptation treats greatly expedited my learning to trust her. Now that I feel comfy, I happily engage with her interactively when she waves the feathered wand toy over my head or snakes it around the room for me to chase. In fact, my playful side comes out in full force when any toys are involved! My brothers, Max and Avery, and I are known as the #dicey-dice-dudes because we look like white dice with spots, and we were born to a stray momma cat in Foster Meowmy’s neighborhood. After we were weaned, Foster Meowmy had Momma spayed and scooped up us kittens so we’d have a chance at a better life indoors. We are so grateful to be in the safe haven of our foster home with a cat tree and a plethora of crinkle balls and catnip mice. We have so much fun tumbling and pouncing, climbing and wrestling, and when we’re exhausted, we collapse in a kitten puddle.   Now I’m ready to bring my fluffy tail, high energy, and even temper to my forever home. Could that be you? Arrange to meet me today! And if you want to adopt a pair of kitties, please consider adopting me with Max or Avery. Two’s more fun than one, and we think it’d be the cat’s meow if we could be playmates and cuddle buddies while you’re at work or on vacation. HOPE ID 25-0719-C101 Thumper’s $125 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for FIV/FeLV, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment against fleas and parasites. To apply online: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site Thumper will be this week-end, email us at nancy.e.kline@hotmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you. August 31, 2025, 6:31 pm
