Thelma 's Story

Hi! I’m Thelma, and I’m ready to find the human who will finally love me the way I’ve always dreamed of being loved.<br/><br/>I’m about 5 years old, and I haven’t had an easy life. I was adopted as a kitten, but the people who were supposed to care for me were unkind and eventually dumped me outside. Because of that, I didn’t know much kindness… until the rescue found me. Now I’m safe, and I’m learning every day that gentle hands and soft voices can be trusted.<br/><br/>Even after everything I’ve been through, I still LOVE people — seriously, I can’t get enough! I love talking, being petted, sunbathing in a warm window, and playing with catnip toys. If you go to the bathroom, I’m coming with you. If you go to bed, I’m sleeping right on your chest. I just want to be close to my person.<br/><br/>Sometimes I get nervous when someone approaches me too quickly or tries to pick me up in a small space — that’s when I might give a little hiss. I don’t mean it… I just get scared for a second. I’m on a tiny dose of anxiety medicine (my “kitty prozac”), which I eat right in my food, and it helps me feel a lot more relaxed.<br/><br/>Because of what happened to me outside, other animals make me stressed and afraid, so I need to be the only kitty in my home. But I promise I’ll make up for it — I have a big personality and so much love to give. I follow my foster mom everywhere and rarely leave her side unless I’m sunbathing.<br/><br/>When the rescue first saved me, I was terrified of everything. Now all I want is someone to love… someone patient, gentle, and kind.<br/><br/>If you give me a chance, I’ll give you endless cuddles, constant companionship, and a loyal little shadow for life.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Thelma

United Paws Rescue Inc's Adoption Policy
First we make sure that the adopter is a proper match for the cat, through conversations with their foster parent and/or a meet and greet. We are very careful to match the personality of the cat with the personality of all other humans and animals in the home to ensure a smooth transition for both the cat and the adopters. Then, the adopter fills out the application- if they pass the home and vet checks they proceed to a short phone interview. If approved, they pay their adoption fee and can take the kitty home that same day.
