My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Delta!  I’m a tiny 2 year old tortie girl, looking for a calm, quiet home where I can finally relax and enjoy the good life.  You see, I had a tough life outdoors as a young mama, until someone finally took me and my kittens in.  I quickly made it known that I’m friendly and I did NOT want to go back outside!
I really like people, but somehow I didn’t quite learn all the ways to communicate that, and I will get growly even as I approach you for pets and give you gentle head butts.  I’m not sure why I do that, maybe I’m trying to purr and I can’t quite get the sound right!  Despite my growlies, I’ve never been anything but gentle.  

I can be a bit of a nervous girl, probably from some rough times outside, so I think I will do best in a home without dogs.  If there are kids in the home, they would need to be older kids (12+), and VERY calm and gentle with me.  I do get spooked easily, so a loud and busy environment won’t be good for me.  I do okay with other cats, with proper introductions of course, but I can get a bit intimidated at mealtimes, so if there are other kitties in the home, I’ll need to have my own designated meal space so I can feel secure when eating.  I was REALLY skinny when I first got rescued, and it took me a long time to get to a healthy weight, so making sure I am eating enough will be important.  I like both wet and dry food, and I seem to be a pretty big fan of Nulo freestyle chicken wet food.  Ohhhh, the gravy!  (You can see me posing near my beloved Nulo in one of the photos, guarding it!)

I haven’t really gotten into toys yet, probably because I never really got to play outside, so all of that is new for me.  Maybe we can try out some playtime together and see what I might like? I do know that I love to be pet and get scritches, and I really adore fluffy cozy beds for long naps.  I’m not a very high energy girl, mostly I just want love and kindness, and a cozy home where I can finally feel safe.  I definitely need a family who will be patient with me, as I adjust to living in a home for the first time, and who can understand that it will take me time to feel comfortable and unveil my beautiful purrsonality.  Maybe you’re the ones for me?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have an adoption application to learn a bit about the home our cats will be going to and the family's motivation for adoption and expectations about pet ownership. We also have an adoption contract, which includes a no declawing and indoor-only clause along with a vet promissory note that ensures you will continue with the medical care and spay/neuter if needed.

We DO NOT do any out of state adoptions except on the NC border on a case-by-case basis.

We require a donation of $120 for adoption of unaltered kittens with a PTV Contract. All kittens receive vaccine series and wormings as well as medical treatment as needed. The adopter is responsible for obtaining their rabies vaccine and spay/neuter if the kitten is not of age at the time of adoption. We can provide resources for low cost clinics that offer these services.

We ask a donation of $25 to adopt Career/barn cats.

We require a donation of at least $140 for adoption of Spayed/neutered cat.

Bonded pairs adoption donation is $200.

Sometimes we require rental checks or home inspections. We always have a Meet n Greet to make sure everyone gets along. We encourage bringing the whole family!

More about this rescue

Our mission is to improve the lives of displaced cats and reduce feral cat population in Hampton Roads by socializing outdoor-born and feral kittens for adoption into loving forever homes. We are a VDACS registered 501c3 nonprofit, founded in 2014 with over 60 foster homes.

Our heart is in TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return of ferals), where cats are fixed, vaccinated, ear tipped, and allowed to live out their lives without reproducing. We are advocates for advancing legal and social acceptance of TNR in Hampton Roads. Our unique feral kitten socialization program has a 90% success rate in socializing feral-born kittens to become loving, in-home pets.

We are always seeking fosters, volunteers, transporters, and trappers to join our team!

We also appreciate donations! Find our most needed items
