My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Thistle likes being pet on the back, especially if treats are involved. However, he can be head shy and it’s best not to touch his stomach so he doesn’t mistake your hand for a toy. He is somewhat sensitive to sudden loud noises and sudden movements. Though he recovers from them fairly quickly, safe spots to hide would be appreciated.

 

Likewise, while he tolerates being held, he doesn’t enjoy it for long periods of time and would prefer to stay on a lap for petting and be lured by treats if he needs to go into a carrier. He loves all kinds of food and treats and sometimes bats hands to demand them. He gets along well with other felines but he may overwhelm shyer cats and needs to be homed with cats that can hold their own with him. He has lived with older children and adults. Because he is still learning gentle play, he would be best in a house with older, cat savvy children. He has not been exposed to dogs.

 

Thistle was rescued from a feral cat colony. Despite this rough start in life, he is now a friendly and social young cat. We don't know his exact age, but estimate he is between 4 and 8 months old. He has been neutered, and received initial veterinary care: examination, rabies vaccine, first FVCRP vaccine (he needs a booster in late November), deworming, and flea and mite treatment. He has tested negative for FIV, FeLV, and heartworm.  Thistle lives in a Sandy, OR foster home.  His adoption fee is $125.  Thistle is indoor only.

More about this rescue

Cat's Cradle Rescue keeps cats out of shelters by offering an alternative to a cage - we are a no-kill FOSTER-HOME BASED rescue group that welcomes cats to our home environments as they await adoption.


Why Foster Care? Does your new kitty like children? Does she play with dogs or find other felines too uncomfortable to be around? Does he have consistent litter-box manners? Does he want to cuddle or perhaps his comfort zone is to be more independent. Many life-factors influence cat behavior and while genetics plays a role, we know that human touch, kindness, nurturing and consistency of care are non-negotiable requirements. We provide all of this.
