Calico kittens & cats in Delaware, Ohio

Story Pending

April was a young mother when she came to CCC. She was found on April 1, 2025 with her newborns so was given the birthday of April 1, 2024. She raised her babies with the help of foster parents before moving to the adoption floor in June 2025. April was anxious when she first got to the adoption floor and tended to stay underneath the cat trees. Slowly over the past few months she has gradually moved up the cat trees to where she can now be found almost at eye level. She still is very hesitant around people so it will take a while for her to warm up with a family. She would do best in a quiet home with an understanding family who will give her time to adjust to the new environment. She has shown comfort with Sparky so would probably do well with other low energy cats who could be a comfort for her.

DOB: 6/10/2024  Maple Syrup is as rich and golden in spirit as her name suggests. This beautiful calico has been through a lot — she arrived at the shelter with a large abdominal wound — but with gentle care and time, she’s healed and is now ready to pour her sweetness into a forever home. Like real maple syrup, she doesn’t rush. Maple Syrup is a bit shy, preferring slow approaches and soft voices, but for those patient enough to earn her trust, she offers a quiet, comforting kind of love that sticks with you long after the moment has passed. She’s looking for someone who understands that the best things in life take time — a calm home, kind hands, and a heart ready to let her sweetness flow. If you’re willing to move at her pace, Maple Syrup just might be the sweetest thing to ever come into your life.  Come meet me at the cage-free Adoption Center!

They do take special care in terms of monitoring them for signs of infection.  FIV can be passed from cat to cat via deep bite wounds, but not from casual contact so positive cats can live with negative cats without the fear of spreading FIV as long as they get along and are spayed/neutered.

Meet the big and beautiful Holt! After originally being rescued from a hoarding situation and then getting adopted from us back in 2020, Holt's owner unfortunately passed away, and she ended up back at the shelter four years later in 2024. After spending 6 long months here, Holt had a second chance at a forever home and was readopted in December of 2024. Unfortunately, just over a year after she made it to her new home, her new owner ended up in an assisted living facility and devastatingly had to leave Holt behind. So that's how Holt ended up at the shelter again. We are sure that she'll be able to open up her heart to another family one more time so she can live out the rest of her golden years. She definitely deserves it! Holt is a couch potato. She spends most of her days sleeping, curled up in a nice and cushiony cat bed. She would enjoy having one or two to sleep on in her new home...But we think that YOUR bed would soon become her favorite! Her previous owner's family expressed that all she loved to do everyday was lay next to and sleep with her favorite person. She prefers head and ear scratches rather than back scratches. Even though Holt is a bit lazy... We have seen her playing with a ball track toy that spins, as well as a fun dangling wand toy. She still has some youthful energy left in her yet! Another thing that Holt loves: FOOD! She gets excited and starts meowing for her tasty food and lickable treat snacks. Holt likes her solidarity away from other cats as well as dogs. We think the best type of home for her would be one where she is the only pet. Come by the Humane Society to meet sweet old lady Holt!

Millie and Maxine are sweet sisters who truly enjoy each other’s company and get along wonderfully together, as well as with other cats. Both girls are very sweet and seem to enjoy attention, but they are still a bit timid in the shelter environment. Maxine tends to be the more shy and apprehensive of the two when it comes to receiving pets — though that certainly doesn’t stop her from politely asking for them. Millie is beginning to blossom and will come out of her hidey hole when things are quiet enough, even following you around for attention. We believe these lovely girls would thrive in a calm, quiet home with a patient and understanding adopter who will give them time to settle in and build confidence. With love and consistency, we’re sure they will grow into the sweetest companions. If you’re looking for gentle, loving girls who just need a little time to shine, you can meet Millie and Maxine at the Humane Society of Delaware County!
