Story
Maxi is the queen of cats. She loves to play with cat toys and people. She is very mild mannered but will let you know when she wants some attention. She will cuddle up next to you in bed and maybe pounce on your hand under the covers. She loves hiding in boxes and bag. While she likes to cuddle and be pet she doesn't really like to be held. She has never hissed or swatted m, but she will try to get away. Her personality really shines. With a toddler and a baby on the way, we really want her to have a space where she can get all her love and attention.

Story
These two beautiful, sweet girls (Mom and daughter) were living in someone's shed along with 2 other siblings. They were being fed and loved but the people could not afford to get them spayed, so we offered to help. All 4 have now been spayed, vaccinated for FVRCP and rabies, flea treated, wormed and tested for v feline leukemia and aids ( both negative). The other 2 have been adopted but Coco and Momma Mary are still available and would love to come home with you! If interested, please fill out our application at castawaycatsde.com Thank you!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   Meet Rory, the tiny kitten with a huge personality. She may only be about 9 months old and 4 pounds, but she lives life with the confidence of a lion. Rory is fearless — always the first to explore a new space, greet new people, or rub up against her dog friends like they’ve known each other forever. She’s endlessly curious, outgoing, and full of energy, turning every toy into an adventure. Crinkle tubes, little balls, wand toys — she loves them all and plays with joyful enthusiasm. When she finally slows down, Rory becomes a sweet snuggler, curling up with the older cats on the windowsill or rubbing against her humans for affection. She adores everyone she meets and thrives around cats, dogs, and kids. With her perpetual‑kitten size and her big, loving personality, Rory will bring fun, affection, and nonstop charm to any home. This cat is spayed, microchipped, up to date on distemper and rabies vaccinations, dewormings, tested negative for FIV/Felv, is on flea/tick preventative and ear mite preventative. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out a 'Cat Adoption Application'   at   www.DelawarePetRescue.org/forms       Adoption fee is: $250 Can’t adopt? Consider donating!

Story
Puss was brought to our home with her brother Boots about 4 years ago in January of 2022. She is very loving, curious, and loves cuddles, pets and lots of attention. She is a great cat! She has no behavioral issues, uses the litter box regularly and is not aggressive. She is just a ball of love. Unfortunately, due to life circumstances I can no longer keep her and want to have the best quality of life as possible. I am looking to rehome her in the next 3 weeks.

Meet Chelsea! If you are looking for a stunning, independent feline who knows her worth and brings just the right balance of fun and chill, Chelsea is your girl. With her gorgeous torbie tuxedo coat—a beautiful mix of colorful tortoiseshell-tabby patches paired with a dapper tuxedo white chest and paws—she is a true showstopper. Chelsea’s Perfect Vibe: ·   Playtime Enthusiast: Don’t let her sleek, calm demeanor fool you—break out a wand toy with feathers or strings, and you’ll see her inner athlete shine! ·   Affection on Her Terms: Chelsea loves human company and will happily strut over to request pets when she's feeling sweet. Once she’s had her fill of love, she gracefully steps away to go do her own thing. She’s an independent queen who appreciates a respectful companion. ·     Queen of the Castle: Chelsea prefers to be the one and only cat in the household. She wants all your devotion (and best sunny nap spots) reserved just for her! ·   Good with older children:  She would do wonderfully in a home with older children who understand feline body language and respect her boundaries. Chelsea offers the best of both worlds: a fun, interactive playmate when it’s game time, and a quiet, low-maintenance roommate when it’s time to relax. Give this lovely lady her forever throne, and she’ll reward you with loyalty, entertainment, and endless charm.

Story
ABOUT CHRISTMAS CHILI! Meet Christmas Chili, our beautiful tabby lady! This sweetie girl was brought to HAP as a stray mama with her babies. Of course, her kittens adapted very well to the cushy indoor lifestyle, but it took her a little while longer. Christmas Chili can be a little hesitant to trust people right off the bat, but once she's been shown someone can be trusted, she's very sweet! The best way to earn her trust is through treats, which explains why she is so round now! After a good amount of snacking, Christmas Chili loves to get some pets! She also loves to bump her head on her humans, and sometimes lick their foreheads! When she isn't with her human friends, she loves to hang out with her kitty clique! They play and rough house and groom each other for hours. *Christmas Chili needs to go to a home with other cats or be adopted with one of her kitty buddies here. She seems fine with older kids, but we don't recommend very active dogs. *If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific cat but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! We may require all household members, including children, to come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, and a small bag of food to get you started.

ABOUT THE DRINKS LITTER! Meet the Drinks Litter, our adorable collection of delicious cuties! These sweeties came to HAP from another rescue, so they've had a lot of big changes in their short lives. The Drinks Litter are all a little shy at first, which is understandable with all they've been through. Once they find their footing, however, they are all very sweet and playful! *The Drinks Litter get along well with other cats, but we aren't sure how they'd do with dogs or young children. *If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

Story
This kitten has just arrived! They have come to us on transport from a shelter partner, were found as stray, or surrendered to our care. When kittens arrive to us we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, how they are with handling, or how much socialization with humans/animals they have received. Kittens require a significant amount of patience and training to learn how to behave properly in a home. The first few months of having a kitten is a critical time to improve socialization and help your kitten become confident. Exposing your kitten to all kinds of touch, sounds, people, and animals can ensure a well-socialized adult cat. Remember, kittens aren’t born knowing how to live in a human’s world, it is up to you to teach them how to make good decisions in a positive and caring manner. The more positive interactions they have in their first year of life will set them up for better behavior in the future.
