***Staff thinks I will be ready by mid July. Hi, I am Delilah. My favorite hobbies are playing, playing, and more playing. My foster mom loves my play zoomies. I may be shy a first but I will warm up quickly especially if you have a feather toy. I am a bit chatty too, I like to tell you all about things. I love squeeze up treats too! I would do best in a quieter household where I have places to climb as I love to climb and sleep on my cat tree. I would be so excited and honored to be your forever cat!**Delilah will need ample time to adjust to her new home as she is still learning that people aren`t all that bad! Placing her in her own sanctuary room such as a small bathroom with food, water, bed, toys, scratching post, and litter box will help her settle in and not become overwhelmed. This room should be quiet with hiding places as well as some perches. She will need lots of positive interactions with people to learn that they are friends, so lots of treats, snuggles, and pets will help her learn to love much quicker. Don`t let the hisses and hiding scare you; working with her to build her trust will soon have her out of her shell and loving people! Once she has acclimated to the room and you, slow introductions to other animals and the rest of the house can begin.She will require some patience and love until she realizes she is safe and ok, but once you win her over she will be your best friend!***
I am not currently at the shelter because I`m growing big and strong in a foster home! You can sign up to pre-adopt me by placing a $50 choice hold. This is a non-refundable fee that does not go towards my adoption fee, but it does give you the first opportunity to adopt me. Shelter staff will contact you when I’m ready to go home with my new family! To place a choice hold, you can either come into the shelter or call us at 719-473-1741; you may wait to speak with a customer service representative or leave a voicemail. Choice holds are placed on a first-come, first-serve basis and only one choice hold can be placed on an animal.
Once I am old enough to go home, I will have to be adopted at the shelter without a visit. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to visit while I’m in the foster home as it’s a lot of stress on me to be transported back and forth to the shelter for visits, which makes me more susceptible to getting sick. We want to be healthy for our new life together!
