Manny and Jack at Tomlinson’s Belterra

Manny and Jack are now at Tomlinson’s in Belterra.  Bring your COVID-19 mask, and visit them inside the store, in the magnificent cat room.  It’s a wonderful place to pause for a few minutes, and they will appreciate it.  If you see only one, look up.  Jack or Manny might be up on the high catwalk.  Manny is the slender orange tabby, and Jack’s markings are dark tabby with white toes.  They are normally reserved with newcomers, so sit quietly, and maybe incite them with one of the cat toys you’ll find in the room.

Interested in adopting?  Please complete our adoption application.

Help kitties like Manny and Jack by making a donation to Thundering Paws.  And thanks for everything you do for animals.

Our foster program wish list

Over 90% of Thundering Paws cats are in foster homes. Almost every intake spends some time in foster on the road to his or her forever home. The items on our Foster Program Wish List will reduce expenses for our foster families by providing them with supplies for their Thundering Paws kitties that they would have to buy out of their own pockets.

Items from the Foster Program Wish List are delivered to our foster coordinator, Tanya Palmer, for distribution to our foster families.  This saves us valuable storage space at the sanctuary.

There is a separate Sanctuary Wish List to support our resident animals.

 

Kittens, kittens, kittens! Trinidad and his family

We have about 60 kittens in foster homes!  Here’s Trinidad:

Trinidad and his 5 sisters were born at Thundering Paws, about 7 weeks ago. They’re not ready for adoption yet.

Their mom is Newt, a black-and-white cat who came to Thundering Paws when she was pregnant, homeless, and living outdoors. Newt is getting medicine, which would not be good for the kittens. She’s wearing a bib to keep the kittens from nursing. They are eating on their own now, so they don’t need her milk anymore.

Here’s dear old dad. He would be a candidate for TNR, but we haven’t caught him yet:

Thundering Paws has about 60 kittens in foster homes.  They need additional routine vet work, costing about $135 per kitten.  That includes spay/neuter and a rabies shot, for $50-$70, and other  vaccines, $30 per kitten.  Please help us care for them by donating.  Your contributions make our work possible.  Thank you for your help!
