Thumper is sweet and sassy. She loves attention from both humans and other cats but she also loves her personal space. Thumper is calm and assertive and is willing to explore independently. She loves to be pet and held and will almost immediately start purring.
Thumper is good with respectful kids, and poofs up defensively with dogs. She would need a very slow introduction to canine siblings.
Thumper is one of our 9 panleukopenia survivors in summer 2026. Because of her medical history, adopters must be aware that her spay should be delayed until November-December 2026. Further, adopters should be aware that panleukopenia survivors must be carefully monitored in case they develop FIP. FIP is a treatable feline illness that is seen at higher rates in panleukopenia survivors. Adopters will commit to treat FIP and not euthanize without first contacting HDDCR and offering HDDCR the opportunity to treat.
Happy Days Dog & Cat Rescue requires a Spay/Neuter Contract by the adopter if puppies and kittens in our care are too young for sterilization at the time of adoption. This is a form the adopter signs at the time of adoption, confirming that they will get the pet spayed/neutered by a certain date. HDDCR holds a deposit [$50 for dogs, $25 for cats] in addition to the adoption fee until we receive proof from a veterinarian that the dog or cat was spayed/neutered by the date stipulated on the Spay/Neuter Contract. The deposit will be refunded to the adopter if spay/neuter was done according to the Spay/Neuter Contract signed by the adopter.
Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue microchips all dogs and cats before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the shoulder blades and are another form of identification should the animal get lost. The microchips are registered to Happy Days Dog and Cat Rescue. The microchip is transferred to the adopter once the adoption is complete. The adopter is responsible for a one-time $15 microchip enrollment fee, paid at the time of adoption. Microchips are enrolled with AKC Reunite. Dogs and Cats still need to have collar with tags should they get lost.
