Thumper

Male · Kitten · 4 months

Thumper is a wonderfully sweet and affectionate boy who absolutely loves being around people. He is very confident and friendly, always keen to say hello and happy to weave around your legs for fuss and attention. He has a lovely habit of kneading his paws, or “making biscuits”, whenever he is enjoying company, and he is always pleased to be close to his favourite people. Thumper is comfortable being picked up and enjoys plenty of physical affection, even eagerly climbing onto laps for cuddles, although he can be a little clumsy! Thumper would love a home where he can have plenty of human company and be part of everyday life. He is happy around other cats and could also live with a dog, making him a sociable addition to the right household. He would prefer not to be left alone for long periods and will need regular time and attention from his people each day. With his affectionate nature and lovely, people-focused personality, Thumper is sure to bring plenty of warmth and happiness to his new home. Ready to adopt? Donate Can't adopt?

About Thumper

What life with Thumper looks like

Thumper is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Bath Cats and Dogs Home in United Kingdom.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Thumper, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Thumper?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bath Cats and Dogs Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Thumper on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Thumper if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bath Cats and Dogs Home will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Thumper already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Thumper isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Bath Cats and Dogs Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Thumper and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
