Thumper, domestic shorthair mix

Thumper is a darling female domestic shorthair kitten being kept at 13th St Cats.

Thumper is friendly as can be — she loves children, cats and dogs. She already has all of her shots. Fear not: She's already house-trained.

Notes from Thumper's caretakers:

Thumper is a sweet, shy little girl who was found by a staff member. She clearly hadn’t been around people much and wasn’t sure that humans were good, but she quickly figured out that we were here to help her. She loves to eat and really loves a good head scratch and belly rub. The moment you rub her face, she turns on the purr motor and can’t stop. Her favorite toys are ones that she can stalk or bat around on the ground, but she is learning that the flying ones are fun too. She badly wants another kitty friend since she has been by herself for a while and is very lonely.
