In the shelter’s words
Meet Thumbelina, a sweet little girl with the most adorable face, the most beautiful markings, and eyes that could melt even the toughest heart. She is calm and gentle, incredibly cuddly, and somehow manages to get away with absolutely everything because she's just too cute to possibly be held responsible for her own mischief.Thumbelina may have a calm demeanor, but don't let that innocent face fool you—this girl is sneaky! And the best part? She has the perfect poker face. She can be found casually unrolling the toilet paper just because, batting around whatever tiny treasure she discovers on the floor, or wrestling with her kitty companions, all while looking completely innocent afterward.She loves playing with her feline friends, whether they're young kittens or adult cats, and she's thriving in her busy foster home alongside three dogs, adult cats, another kitten, and even a parrot that she likes to tease. Thumbelina has clearly decided that every member of the household is a potential friend—or at least a potential playmate.She's especially fond of her foster brother Knuckles, and the two love cuddling and playing together. Because she's still young, Thumbelina needs to be adopted into a home with another kitty friend who can play with her, keep her company, and help her continue to socialize. She would be especially happy to go home with her brother from another mother, Knuckles!This little girl has also developed a very important routine: when her foster family is sleeping, Thumbelina likes to find a comfortable spot right on top of her human and wait patiently for breakfast. Or, if she's not waiting to be fed, she'll happily take a nap there. She is already showing all the signs of becoming a wonderful lap cat.And then there's her hilarious obsession with the dogs. Thumbelina has learned that when the dogs get ready to go outside, something very exciting must be happening. Naturally, she believes she should be included. She'll try to join the pack and head outside with them, and her foster family is convinced that if she could shapeshift into a dog, she absolutely would!Thumbelina has been spoiled by the teens in her foster home and has received approximately a million hugs and kisses from everyone who cares for her. She would do well in all kinds of homes, including one with respectful children. She's sweet, social, and loves being part of a busy family.Thumbelina may be a tiny little troublemaker, but in her foster family's eyes, she can do no wrong. Every sneaky adventure, every playful antic, and every bit of mischief is forgiven the moment she looks up with those irresistible eyes.If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly kitten with a playful streak, a mischievous little personality, and a face you simply won't be able to resist, Thumbelina is ready to steal your heart—and probably your spot on the couch, too!WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.

Plan a visit with the source organization
Thank you for your interest in Forever Fortunate Felines, a division of Fortunate Pooches and Lab Rescue. We are very happy to have the opportunity to match you with your purr-fect cat-panion! Once you complete the online application using the below link, you will be able to discuss and ask questions directly to the foster parent.  We believe this is a big advantage to you as our organization is completely foster based, we really understand our cats personalities at a deep level. This helps to ensure a great match with you and your family. In order to get the process going, would you kindly fill out our detailed online application located here: https://www.petstablished.com/adoption_form/11683/generic Completing our online application does not commit you to adopt from our rescue.  Rather it helps us to understand your requirements and match you with the best possible cat or kitten. Once you complete the application and it is approved, we can set up a meet and greet and if all works out, you may bring the kittens or cats home the same day. Please make sure to bring an adequately sized pet carrier with you to your meet and greet. We recommend a pet carrier which opens from the top as this is the easiest way to place a cat inside a carrier. If you do decide to adopt, we do expect you to take home your cat the same day as there are so many cats and kittens which need to be rescued from high kill shelters, we almost always rescue a new cat or kitten the very next day. If it is not possible for you to take your cat or kitten home the same day, we do charge a boarding fee of $3 per day for supplies and to encourage you to take your newly adopted cat home. We will board for a maximum of 3 days if needed to allow you time to get needed supplies. Our adoption fees are listed at the link below. This fee includes full vetting, flea treatment, de-worming, spay surgery, FeLV and FIV test, microchip insertion, and vaccinations up to date for the kittens or
