Story
Dahlia is a "hidden gem" type of cat. She's a beautiful jewel who just needs some gentle polishing to truly sparkle. She's a pretty brown and white tabby with dazzling golden eyes. She is timid, but with a lot of TLC and patience, she has the potential to blossom into a very friendly and loving cat! Being adopted into a quiet and not very crowded home would be the best environment for Dahlia. A patient and gentle family who understands cats well would be a good fit for her. Once she gets to know her new family and becomes more comfortable, she would be just fine! Dahlia doesn't mind other feline friends at all. She enjoys spending time with the other cats in the room and snuggling with them. She really enjoys being pet! She'll purr loud and roll onto her side and show her cute little belly. It seems like she's already starting to overcome her shyness, slowly and steadily. If you're willing to give Dahlia a chance and eventually be rewarded by seeing her true character come out, come by the Humane Society to meet her!

Story
I'm an observant and very sweet boy with a lot of life experience. I welcome everyone and appreciate being pet and showered in compliments. I came in with my brother of 10 years, Garfunkel. I'm on a yummy diet that will help me shed a few pounds so I can move easier and feel healthier all around. My brother and I are both FIV+ which means our immune systems may function on a lower level than most. We may catch a cold quicker or have some oral challenges. Some FIV+ cats struggle to keep their weight up. Not us! We are very well fed, big boys! If you are interested in adopting two cats, Garfunkel and I could be a good option! Are you looking for a cuddle buddy with a lot of love to give with a chubby body to squeeze? That's me! I'm a low-energy, laid-back older cat who is searching for my new forever home and loving family. I would do well with any type of family. As long as I get love and food, I'll be happy! Come by the Humane Society to meet me!

Go go Power Ranger!! This is the mysterious and not as well-known brown and white clad ranger... He's also an adorable kitty! He doesn't wear a protective suit (though that would be cool) like the Power Rangers in the show. But he has no need to! After all, how else would we be able to see his sweet and handsome face? Ranger isn't focused on fighting bad guys or oversized aliens from space. The only thing he's focused on is finding his new home and new family! Ranger has a lot of love to give. He loves getting attention and hanging out with human friends. For a big fella, he has a very soft and cute voice. Ranger enjoys sitting on a comfy cat tree and watching the entertaining things that go on outdoors: primarily the birds and wildlife! Ranger doesn't mind being in the company of another feline friend, as long as they're okay with his presence. Ranger is a chill, low-energy, lovable kind of guy. Come by Adam Bibb - State Farm Insurance Agency on South Sandusky Street in Delaware to meet Ranger!

Story
Garfunkel is such a sweet boy and will put his paw on you when he wants pets. He also will follow you around the kitchen and beg for food like a dog. It's a funny thing to watch. He has great litter box manners and would love a cat buddy. When he was first brought into us, the vet staff notice that this poor guy had a minor jaw fracture. That's why you may have noticed his cute little snaggletooth. He's all healed up now thanks to our vet staff and with the TLC of a foster home. He was brought into the shelter with his brother, Simon. If you're looking to adopt two cats, Garfunkel and Simon could be a good option for you! He's perfectly content with sitting beside you and feeling comfortable in your presence. Garfunkel is a low energy, relaxed older cat who would be a good fit in any kind of family. As long as he gets love and food, he'll be a very happy kitty. He really is the purrfect cat! Come by the Humane Society to meet Garfunkel!

Meet Gigi! She's a beautiful black and white beauty with big, shiny emerald eyes that are sure to dazzle you! She is still new to the shelter environment, so she is timid and shy right now. You probably won't see her walking around the adoption floor. You'll find her hanging out with her feline friends in a wooden shelf together! She came from a place with a lot of other cats, so Gigi enjoys spending time with others like her. We see her laying with other cats in the room such as Purcy and Emmalyn. If you're looking to add two sweet cats to your family, Gigi and Purcy/or/ Emmalyn could be a good choice for you! Just because she is shy right now doesn't mean she won't let you pet her! She really enjoys a gentle pet on the head or scratch under the chin. That'll get her purr motor going. She's gradually learning that humans are good and give her good things. We think eventually she'll become a really friendly cat and a wonderful addition to your family. We recommend a quiet and calm home with patient pet-parents for Gigi to be adopted into. She will most likely be happiest that way. Come by the Humane Society to meet Gigi!

This here is tiny Timmy. He's incredibly sweet. All he wants to do is be around people and get lots of attention and love. With a unique chocolatey brown and vanilla white coloring and dazzling golden yellow eyes, it would be hard not to notice a handsome boy like him! His tail looks like he dipped it in white whipped cream. So adorable! Little Timmy has a lot to say. He's very vocal. If he sees you with free and empty hands, he feels the need to meow and approach you and offer his head for you to scratch so your hands aren't so lonely. How considerate! Timmy does well around other cats, as long as he gets properly introduced to your current cat(s). Come by the Humane Society to meet Timmy!

Pallas is sweet and loving. I adopted her about 3 years ago, but I’m renting and my landlord won’t allow a pet. She’s great with my mom’s two smaller dogs and cat - we lived in the home with them for two years and she loved hanging out with the dogs! She likes to be held and will cuddle up with you on the sofa. She’s vocal and likes to have chats, which makes her great company for a single person. She’s well behaved, litter trained and not a scratcher.
