Meet Della Rose 🐾🧡
Under 1 year | Female | Spayed | Medium-Haired Orange Tabby
Della Rose is a soft, gentle orange beauty with soulful eyes and a tender heart. She may start off a little shy, but behind that quiet exterior is a sweet girl who is slowly learning that indoor life — and loving humans — are safe.
✨ Her Story
Della Rose was rescued at the Newport News Shipyard after deciding outdoor life simply wasn’t for her. Since coming indoors, she has been carefully letting her guard down and learning to trust.
She’s still finding her footing, but every day she shows us more of the gentle, loving girl she’s becoming.
🤍 Personality
Della Rose is:
• Chill
• Gentle
• Independent
• Introverted
• Quiet
• A little lazy (in the sweetest way)
• Resilient
• Shy but snuggly once she trusts
• Soft-hearted and observant
She enjoys affection on her terms and will absolutely blossom with patience and consistency.
🛏 Favorite Things
Sleeping spot: A cozy cat bed where she can hide and feel safe
Food: Iams Kitten dry food (her current favorite)
🚫 Not a Fan Of (Right Now)
Wet food
Treats
(Hey, every queen has preferences. 👑)
✨ What Makes Her Special
Della Rose’s gentle nature, unique orange coloring, and those beautiful, expressive eyes make her truly unforgettable. She has a quiet presence that just melts your heart.
💛 Important to Know
Because she can be timid at first, Della Rose will need a calm, patient home that will give her the time she needs to fully come out of her shell.
She would do best:
With someone home often to continue building her confidence
In a quieter environment
With a friendly feline buddy to help show her the ropes and make her feel secure
🏡 Her Perfect Match
Della Rose is looking for someone who understands that the best bonds take time. Once she trusts you, she promises to reward you with soft affection, gentle cuddles, and devoted companionship.
She is absolutely worth the wait. 🧡🐾

More about this rescue
🐾 Our Mission at Billy the Kidden Rescue 🐾
Billy the Kidden Rescue is a VDACS-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in 2014 and supported by a network of over 60 active foster homes across Hampton Roads.
Our mission is to improve the lives of displaced cats and reduce the feral cat population in our community by socializing outdoor-born and feral kittens—transforming them into loving, adoptable pets and placing them in safe, forever homes.
💙 Our Heart is in TNR
We are proud advocates of TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return)—the humane, effective method of managing community cats. Through this program, feral cats are:
✔️ Trapped
✔️ Neutered or Spayed
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Ear-Tipped (as a universal sign they've been fixed)
✔️ Returned to live safely in their outdoor colonies without contributing to overpopulation.
We are actively working to promote legal and social acceptance of TNR in Hampton Roads.
🐱 Feral Kitten Socialization
Our feral kitten socialization program is one of a kind—with a 90% success rate in helping feral-born kittens become affectionate, in-home pets. Through experienced fostering, patience, and love, these kittens learn to trust, play, and thrive indoors.
💪 Get Involved!
We’re always looking for passionate animal lovers to join our team. Help us make a difference by becoming a:
Foster
Volunteer
Transporter
TNR Trapper
🎁 Support Our Work
Donations keep our rescue running, and we’re always in need of supplies! Check out our wish lists to see what’s needed most:
