Jade's Story

Jade is one confident little lady with just the right amount of diva. <br/><br/>Like many Thistle Cats, Jade was rescued from animal control on the very day she was scheduled to be euthanized due to overcrowding.<br/><br/>Jade does well with other cats, but she definitely appreciates having her own space and can get a little overwhelmed by the number of resident cats at Thistle Cat. She is independent, confident, and very good at claiming the best seats in the house, especially the top of the bathroom cabinet, the refrigerator, or her favorite hammock basket by the window.<br/><br/>She also loves catnip toys, couch movie time, and as many pets on her soft velvety fur as you're willing to give.<br/><br/>And yes, the diva side does make an appearance. At wet food dinner, Jade prefers her own plate, thank you very much, though she is perfectly happy eating beside other cats.<br/><br/>Jade would likely thrive in a home with fewer animals, where she can enjoy companionship without feeling crowded. If you're looking for a beautiful, affectionate, slightly bossy queen who knows exactly what she likes, Jade may be your girl.

Thistle Cat Rescue & Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
See someone who catches your eye? 💙 The first step is to fill out our adoption application! We typically respond within 24 hours. If your application looks like a good match, we’ll reach out by phone for a quick chat and answer any questions you have about the cat you’re interested in. If the cat is being fostered off-site, we’ll connect you directly with their foster parent so you can learn more about their personality and routine. If everyone still feels like it could be a great fit, the next step is a meet and greet. We offer both in-person and virtual meet and greets! Once you’re ready to move forward, the cat will typically be brought to your home. We’ll do a quick home check to make sure everything is safe, including checking for unscreened windows, toxic plants, exposed wires curious kittens may want to chew, and other potential hazards. Then the exciting part begins: your 10-day foster-to-adopt period! 🐾 During those 10 days, we’ll check in by text to see how everyone is adjusting, especially if you’re introducing your new cat to existing pets. We’re always available to help with questions or introductions along the way. At the end of the 10 days, if everyone agrees it’s a match, we’ll send you a link to pay the adoption fee. You’ll then receive all medical records by email, and the cat’s microchip will be transferred into your name. And remember: every Thistle Cat always has a safety net. We will take any cat or kitten back for any reason, at any time. If an adoption is returned within 30 days, your adoption fee may be refunded in full or credited toward another Thistle Cat adoption. Have questions about our adoption process? Please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help make sure every adoption is the right fit for both you and your new family member. 💙🐱
