Story
This new friend has just arrived! They have come to us either as a transfer from another shelter, being found as a stray, or have been surrendered to us by their owner. When our friends are new to us, we are typically unsure of their full background, litter box habits, comfort with handling, or experience with other pets or children. Our staff will spend some time reviewing any information provided by previous owners and spend some time with our new friend so that we can better update their biography. 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.

Story
Daphne (F) Orange Tabby, (FCID 01/05/2026), Age approx. 7-8 months. Meet Daphne! Daphne is a sweet, playful, confident and loving kitten. When she’s not chasing toys or the resident cats, she is laying and purring away right next to you. She would do best in a house with another cat or kitten to have as a companion. Daphne adjusts quickly to new environments and wasted no time making herself at home with 3 foster brothers...must be that orange cat charm.  Daphne is very kittenish and is playing in our Middletown PetSmart adoption center while awaiting your visit.  Please ask to meet Daphne and have some playtime! Please submit a no-obligation application:   https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/ .   Thank you!  (Foster:  Sarah M.)March 6, 2026, 11:45 am

Story
Liza (F) Tabico (FCID 02/10/26-84), Age approx. 1 year. Liza is a friendly, affectionate girl who loves pets and attention — on her terms, of course. She enjoys soaking up love and will happily lean into a good petting session, but she’s also perfectly content doing her own thing. Independent yet warm-hearted, Liza is the perfect balance of cuddly companion and confident queen. She’ll be by your side when it matters — and gracefully supervising from afar the rest of the time. Liza is hanging out at our PetSmart location in Middletown, DE. Please submit our no-obligation adoption application:   https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/ .   Thank you!  (Foster:  Shelby F.)March 5, 2026, 4:49 pm
