Thunder - Domestic Short Hair and Bengal Cat for Adoption in San Diego, California

Thunder — A Second Chance Revealed a Heart of Gold

Hi, I’m Thunder, a big, handsome tiger-striped gentleman with 12 pounds of love to share!

My story almost ended before anyone had a chance to know the real me. At the shelter, I was labeled aggressive because I was frightened. That label put me on the euthanasia list, until Community Cat Foundation saw a cat who deserved another chance.

At first, my foster family gave me space to settle in. Then one morning, I surprised everyone. I walked right up to my foster mom, rubbed against her ankles, and leaned into her hand for affection.
That was the moment everyone knew I wasn’t what the shelter labeled me!!

Today, I’m a completely different fellow! I adore being petted, have the sweetest little voice, enjoy curling up on a welcoming lap, and get along beautifully with the other rescue cats.

I’m affectionate, gentle, and grateful for every kindness.

I was nearly overlooked because I was afraid. Now I’m ready to show someone just how much love I’ve been waiting to give. Click the link below to start your inquiry and an adoption counselor will reach out to you by email.
