Thelma

Introducing Thelma, a delicate and reserved lady who is looking for a quiet, loving home where she can truly blossom. When Thelma first encounters new people or environments, she tends to be very nervous and shy. However, with plenty of time and patience, she gradually starts to feel secure and confident in her surroundings.

Thelma thrives in a calm and predictable environment. She would do best in a home without children or dogs, where her serene nature is respected. Despite her initial timidity, Thelma has a heart full of love to give; she just needs the right setting to feel comfortable enough to share it.

In the right home, Thelma has the potential to become a loyal and affectionate family member, rewarding your patience and understanding with endless love and graceful companionship. If you believe you can offer Thelma the tranquil and routine life she seeks, she might just be the gentle soul to complete your family.

If you are looking for an inseparable pair of furry best friends, consider adopting Thelma along with her sister, Louise. Their bond is strong, and they offer each other great comfort and companionship. However, if adopting both isn't possible, Thelma would thrive in a home with another confident feline friend who can show her the ropes and help her feel at ease.

Louise and Thelma are currently relishing some downtime in foster care to take a break from the busy shelter life. If you would like more information about her or are interested in meeting this gentle soul, please contact our Foster Care Coordinator at foster@catprotection.com.au.

From her foster home -
Thelma is a sweet and chatty lady who loves to rub on your legs, enjoys a good neck-scratching session and is incredibly soft to the touch. Her favourite surface to rest on is a simple towel, so you’ll never be short of blankets, and she loves napping near her favourite people. She loves all kinds of scratchers, including posts and cardboard scratchers, and prefers to stay close to the ground instead of climbing cat trees. She and her sister wrestle nightly, complete with high-speed chases, but she’ll also request playtime with you once you’ve shown her how to have fun. Thelma isn’t very food motivated, and is quite timid when taking treats from you, but she’s always up to sniff your fingers – just watch out for any inquisitive nibbles! She’s flighty but also very curious, so if you have patience and let her investigate at her own pace, you’ll quickly find an adventurous spirit and build a rewarding relationship.
