Story
From Oregano’s foster: Despite not feeling so hot the first few days I had him, Oregano was always found in my lap, soaking up attention & pets. Oregano has some of THE softest fur. He took quickly to our schedule and understood when it was time to go back into his room when we were done playing. Oregano is a huge aficionado of Cat Games channels on YouTube and loves to “catch” all the bugs and toys that float across the screen. He also took great enjoyment laying in the window so he could talk to the birds & squirrels in the yard. For play, he enjoys trying to catch feather wand toys or switch out the feather for a worm attachment to activate turbo Oregano. If you really get him going, he’ll leap off of all four paws at once! You’ll probably run out of energy before he does! But he’s not always go go go, he could be categorized as a ‘content’ cat – if left alone, he either entertains himself or is always down for a nice nap. Nary a cry or a pitiful meow was heard - alone in his room, he’s fine; in the car going to the vet, he’s fine. Overall, Oregano was pleasant little guest who will certainly make a great addition to someone’s home!

 Meet Shelly! ! Small girl. BIG sweetheart. Professional attention seeker. ! Shelly is a sweet little lady who has figured out exactly how to get what she wants: come right to the front of her cage and ask for pets! And really, how could anyone say no to that adorable face and those beautiful green eyes? She absolutely loves attention and is happiest when someone stops by to give her some affection. Shelly may be petite, but she has plenty of love packed into that little body. . What she’d really like, though, is to trade the cage for something much better—a forever home of her very own. A comfy bed, sunny windows, people to love her, and all the pets she can possibly talk them into giving her sound just about perfect. Shelly is ready to stop waiting at the front of a cage for attention and start waiting at the front door for her family to come home. . Come meet Shelly and let this sweet little girl charm her way right into your heart.   ADOPT SHELLY — because the best things really do come in small packages! . SHelly is looking forward to your visit in our Millsboro PetSmart adoption center.  Please stop by! Please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application for a meet and greet or to adopt:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Not ready to adopt?  Please consider fostering:  https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/.   Thank you!  (Foster:  Trainer)November 6, 2026, 10:14 am

 Meet Madison! ! Madison is a very sweet girl who absolutely loves people and attention. When someone comes to visit, she makes her way right to the front of her cage, hoping for pets, affection, and a little one-on-one time. It’s pretty clear that Madison would much rather be out of that cage and in a home! She is ready for a life where she can wander from room to room, explore all the cozy places, curl up near her people, and finally feel like part of a family. Madison has so much love and companionship to give—she just needs someone to give her the chance.  Madison is ready to trade her cage for a forever home. Could yours be the one she’s been waiting for? .  She is waiting for YOU in our Millsboro PetSmart adoption center. Please submit our no-obligation Adoption Application:  https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/.  Not ready to adopt?  Please consider fostering:  https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/.   Thank you!  (Foster:  Trainer)November 6, 2026, 10:14 am
