Hi there! My name is Thunderpaws! I am a big boy at around 7 years old! I love food, if I see you with food and you don`t share, I will yell at you until you feed me too! Snacks, dry food, wet food; I love all of it! I had to have some teeth pulled but that does not stop me from crying for more food. I do enjoy attention, it just has to be on my terms. When I want the pets I will let you pet me for as long as you would like. I may seen big and scary, but I am a love bug. If you do not give me my food fast enough I will slapslap you! For this reason, children in the home will need to be old enough to understand that I need my space from time to time. When I was brought in, I was found to be FIV positive. Although it won`t effect my lifespan or my health, it does mean that I cannot live in a home with other cats unless they are also FIV positive. I do enjoy having feline companionship though. I have not been tested with dogs at this time. Interested in meeting me? Fill out an application and ask staff about me today!

Additional adoption info
We do not work on a first come, first served basis for our animals. We look for the best match between the animal and the family/person looking to adopt. We also will foster adoptable animals in homes in certain cases to make sure that animal is a good fit in that home prior to completing an adoption.

More about this shelter
The Central PA Humane Society (CPHS) was established in 1964. We are a non profit 501c3 who receives no government or national rescue organization funding. We survive solely on grants we apply for, our fundraisers we put on and donations from our community. We are a 'life saving' shelter and only ever euthanize animals that are deemed dangerous to our staff and volunteers. This is after we have tried training, foster homes etc to give that animal every chance at a life outside of the shelter. We do euthanize animal that have life threatening injuries or illness that cannot be medically treated by a veterinarian.
CPHS has a dedicated team of staff and volunteers that cater to every animal in their care. We have enrichment programs for both dogs and cats to enable their time with us to be enjoyable and less stressful. We are very proud of our canine cardio and foster for the day programs than allow dogs to leave our facility and get some time out being walked or simply chilling out in someones home.
Our fundraisers are hugely popular in the community with events such as; Chili Fest, Bikers for Barkers, Paws in the Park, Fur Ball, Chocoholics Night out, Mimosas on the Lake to name a few! These fundraisers are instrumental in helping us look after the nearly 1,800 animals that come through our doors.
