Giving Tuesday Dec. 3

Thundering Paws is a private non-profit rescue  helping  cats who are homeless, neglected, injured, or abused. We offer each kitty who comes to us a safe haven and a bright future.

Giving Tuesday is one of our largest fundraisers of the year and receives donations from donors far and wide, on Facebook and off. We appreciate any donation you can make towards the care of our rescued cats. 

Begun in the home of our founder, Thundering Paws has now purchased, renovated, and moved into its own space. Our mission can now continue until the day when there are no more cats who need us.

We operate an on-site sanctuary and hospice; a trap/neuter/vaccinate/return/manage  (TNVRM) program for community cats; intake, vetting, fostering, and adopting out of tame kittens and cats from a network of foster homes and adoption centers; and help the public  address issues with any cat, owned or rescued via email support.

This effort takes a tremendous amount of time and resources. Donations, volunteers, fosters, and adopters are always needed.

Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for everything you do for cats! (and other animals, too)

We are a 501(c)(3) organization.

Senior Spotlight / Little Man

Paw It Forward – Where Senior Pets Matter

Thundering Paws is proud to partner with Lake Travis Independent Living through help highlight adoptable senior cats and give them a greater opportunity to find their furever home🐾

Senior Spotlight Cat: Little Man

Little Man is a gentle, low-energy orange tabby with a quiet demeanor. He enjoys being pet and brushed, but can be a bit shy around sudden hand movements. He’s sweet-natured and will happily cuddle when approached calmly once he warms up and gets to know you. 

This smart little guy loves feather toys and has a knack for finding cozy spots in the middle of any room. He’s food-motivated and purrs when happy, but isn’t much of a talker and rarely meows. He takes a few days to adjust to new surroundings, but once he feels safe he’ll start to appear all around the home. You’ll know he feels at home once he starts to lounge around openly in rooms around the house. 

Little Man has had positive interactions with adults, kids, and even the senior chihuahua in his foster home! While he’s fine with considerate children, he’s a bit more reserved around strangers and prefers a calm environment. He’s do well with other friendly, calmer animals that match his energy levels and gentle nature.  Little Man is the perfect fit for a laid-back, lower energy household looking for a sweet, well-mannered companion who appreciates a gentle and cozy approach to life.
