Description:
Hi there, I’m Del! I once lived the street-cat life, but I’m excited to become your forever friend. Just like the canines, I know how to play fetch AND I have some impressive hops to catch that ball mid-air like you’re throwing a frisbee! Despite my athleticism, I can be kind of a goof and forget about spacial awareness when you’re giving me pets because I just flop around. When I’m feeling extra lovey, I’ll lie on your chest, right under your chin, because I just love being close to you! I’m still learning how to be a house cat, but I’m a good boy—I’m not destructive and I never have accidents. If you’re ready for someone to love who will give you hugs and hilarity, I’m your guy!
Words to Describe Me: Rambunctious, playful, agile, cuddly
Favorite Place to Sleep: On a bed or high service, like an elevated cat tower
Favorite Toy: Soft, glitter ball
Perfect Day: Del’s perfect day begins with a morning snuggle or chat with his person followed by breakfast. He enjoys napping throughout the day and will nap with his person (or likely ON his person). After dinner, Del loves playtime! He’ll play fetch if his favorite ball is thrown. If the ball is thrown straight up in the air, he will show off his hops and catch it mid-air. Once he’s worn out, he’ll snuggle up with his person for the night.
