Story
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!

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Her foster says, "Butterscotch is such a sweet girl. She's really laid back and aspires to being a lap cat. Very friendly but not demanding. She loves her cave bed and toys. She ignores the dogs but doesn't seem to mind them being around." What a dream for anyone looking for a calm, loving, and easy going girl. Eleven year old Butterscotch just requires that you keep her diet and exercise routine going so she can get to her goal and live a healthy life. How rewarding it will be! She also prefers no other cats in her new home, please.

Story
Millie and Maxine are sweet sisters who truly enjoy each other’s company and get along wonderfully together, as well as with other cats. While they are not a bonded pair, they would absolutely love to go home together if you have room in your heart for two! 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!
