Thunder

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Young · 3 years

If you’re looking for a feline friend with plenty of personality, then Thunder could be just the girl for you! Thunder is currently enjoying life in a foster home with her babies, but once her little ones are ready to fly the nest, it’ll be her turn to find a forever home of her own. She will be ready to go to her new home in early December, so you can get your applications in now! Thunder is a very affectionate, sociable girl who loves being around her people. She might not necessarily be a lap cat, but she certainly enjoys being close by and having a fuss. In fact, she’d much rather you didn’t leave the room at all! Thunder is quite the chatterbox and has something to say about everything. Expect a little telling-off when you leave, followed by an enthusiastic welcome when you return. It’s all part of her charm! Thunder is also a big foodie (and we mean BIG foodie!). She loves her meals and isn’t shy about letting you know when she thinks it’s time to eat. She’ll happily remind you that sharing is caring, especially if there’s something tasty on your plate! When she’s not busy chatting or supervising mealtimes, Thunder enjoys a good play session. Wand toys are a particular favourite, so you’ll need to be prepared for some fun and games. Her fosterer thinks Thunder is going to make a wonderfully loving companion for someone, and we couldn’t agree more. She’s a girl with lots of love to give, a big personality and plenty of conversation to share. Could Thunder be the chatty, affectionate little companion you’ve been waiting for? ❤️

About Thunder

What life with Thunder looks like

Thunder is a large young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧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 Thunder, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Thunder?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Thornberry Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Thunder on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Thunder if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Thornberry Animal Sanctuary 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Thunder 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 Thunder 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 Thornberry Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Thunder 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.
