Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Newark, Delaware

ABOUT MONICA! Meet Monica, our beautiful seven-year-old girl! This little lady came to HAP as a stray momma. She's a very adventurous lady and will need a home that can safely let her spend time inside and outside. Monica has spent time in foster and was adopted from us, but her current owner didn't feel like the neighborhood was a safe one for Monica's wandering ways. Monica has a great personality and loves being with people. She will keep you entertained and give you snuggles when she finally stops exploring. She enjoys being with people and spending time indoors. Monica will dash through doors as quick as a flash and seems to enjoy spending time outside as well. Her owner said that she would stay close to home but then began to explore a little too far out of their cul-de-sac. We will be reviewing applications for Monica to ensure that her new home is located somewhere where she can explore safely. She should not be in a home that can present a danger by cars or traffic. Monica would make a wonderful working cat for a small farm or business that would like an outdoor cat that will also bring them affection and love. **Monica has been diagnosed with very early-stage kidney disease. While this can shorten her lifespan, we have no reason to believe she doesn't have many, many more years left in her! She is currently being treated with a special diet and managed by yearly vet visits. If you are interested in adopting Monica, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

ABOUT LORA! Meet Lora, our beautiful six-year-old tabby girl! This pretty lady was brought to HAP by some good Samaritans, who had been feeding her for a few months, after she showed up very skinny to their feral colony. Once she fattened up a bit, she started to show off her sweet side, and her new friends knew that she didn't belong in the outdoors! Lora is a super sweetheart, though she can be a little bossy at times! She likes things to happen on her terms, but when they do, she's a very loving girl! When they don't happen, she does give a little reminder tap that she runs this show! *Lora doesn't like the other cats, and will make that dislike very well known! We don't recommend she go to a home with children or dogs. **If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

ABOUT HAZEL Meet Hazel, our funny little gremlin! This kooky lady came to us after her owners were unable to manage her medical issues. Hazel had a bit of a rough start here, she was NOT pleased being confined, but she settled in quickly and let her personality shine! Hazel is a true character! She is the Queen Bee and the biggest diva of them all! She likes what she likes, and she'll let you know what displeases her. She loves to play and loves to snuggle, she's a true lap cat! She allows you to dress her up, though she will only allow that in small doses. She enjoys going for walks in her stroller, as well. Hazel has been in a foster home before, here's what her foster has to say about her: "She is still as sweet as can be!! I sleep in her room 1-2 nights a week so that she can enjoy nighttime cuddles. She has seen my cats and the majority of the time she doesn't mind them. A few times she has hissed at them/back at them. Over the holiday, she was able to meet my nieces and nephew and did really well! She just loves attention!! Her newest thing is asking for belly rubs!" **Hazel has skin allergies, which are currently managed by a special diet and medication. If not managed, this allergy causes her to break out into a super itchy rash. She MUST stay on her special diet and medication unless otherwise directed by your vet. *Hazel has recently decided that she would be comfortable sharing a home with other kitties, though she does need a slow introduction and a home with calmer cats! We aren't sure how she'd do with a dog, but we assume she would bully them. Once in a home, she does super well with children and new people, though she can be a little grumpy during transitions.

ABOUT RAYNA! Meet Rayna, our beautiful five-year-old calico! This sweet lady was brought into HAP as a sick stray, so of course this has been a long and strange journey for her! Rayna is a little shy at first, and can be a little hissy, but once she knows someone is a friend, she's a real lovebug! She likes to sit next to someone and get some binge-watching in, she isn't much of a player. *Rayna has FIV, which means her immune system is weaker than other cats. She may get sicker easier and for longer, but otherwise it does not affect her health. It is transmittable to other cats through biting, but not to humans or dogs. We recommend she get regular vet care. **Rayna gets along with other cats, but would need to go to a home with either very calm cats or cats with FIV. We don't recommend dogs or children. ***If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

ABOUT SMOKEY AND BANDIT! Meet Smokey and Bandit, our two-year-old sisters! These girls came to HAP from a hoarding case, so this has been a big change for them. They have started to settle in, though! Smokey is the more outgoing of the two, though she can be shy at first. She enjoys playing, so she can usually be won over by some playtime! Bandit tends to be more of the observer, she likes to hang back on the sidelines while her sister takes the lead. After some time, they are both super sweet girls who love to hang out with their people friends! *Smokey and Bandit both do well with other cats, but we recommend they go to a home with no dogs and no children. **If you are interested in adopting this cat, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

I am a handsome boy whose mom and seven siblings were adopted and now I am looking for MY forever home. I am friendly but may act shy around people I don’t know yet. I like to spend my days observing things through the windows, napping, and playing with anything on a string! I enjoy being petted and am given gentle kisses and hugs. I am curious and will do just about anything for a treat! I have lots of love to give. I get along with other cats and dogs as well.

DEXTER & HENRY (Henry has been adopted) These sweet kittens were in the process of having their mom desperately relocate them along with their other two siblings to avoid being run over by a lawn mower. Someone witnessed what was happening and called us one night, so we picked them up and gave them to fosters. Mom cat is FIV + and passed it on to Dexter and Henry, but there is a chance they will become negative as they grow older. FIV + cats can safely coexist with other cats and live long and healthy lives. Dexter (Tabby Kitten) is one of the friendliest kittens ever. He seeks out his people often and will trill greetings then wait for pets while rolling around and purring. You can feel the love pouring out of him! He is gentle and really enjoys people, other cats, and dogs as he is extremely social, playful; and energetic! Dexter is very laid back and doesn’t let anything bother him! Henry (Black Kitten) is a love bug and is also very social, playful, and energetic! He is always purring and loves being where the action is! Sometimes he will curl up on top of you in bed for a little snuggle. He is friendly and definitely lets you know when he wants attention! Henry gets along with other cats and dogs. These two brothers would be a great match if looking to adopt two! Dexter and Henry are neutered, vaccinated for rabies and FVRCP, flea and worm treated, and negative for feline leukemia.

*ONLY BART AVAILABLE* These two siblings were saved from the street. Bart is a sweet boy who is shy and needs a little encouragement to help him out of his shell. He is almost always purring! Bart loves playing with toys with his human or kitty friends. Lisa (no longer available) is a little shy with new people at first but when she gets to know you she will crack you up with her antics during playtime. She is a playful and energetic girl. Both Bart and Lisa get along with other cats but we aren’t sure about dogs yet. Both kittens are negative for FIV and feline leukemia, spayed/neutered, flea and worm treated, and vaccinated against rabies and FVRCP. Ideally these two cuties should be adopted together. They are waiting patiently for their furever home! If interested in adopting Bart and Lisa, please fill out an application at Castawaycatsde.com.

We rescued Luigi and about 60 other cats from a trailer park that was about to close. Some of these cats were left behind by their so-called owners and others were breeding out of control because of one very irresponsible guy who did not spay or neuter his cats :) These poor cats were living in horrible conditions under filthy abandoned trailers loaded with fleas, the poor things, barely getting anything to eat. With the help of a few other rescues who help to pay for their vetting and took in about half of them, we are now looking to find them new clean permanent homes. From foster: Luigi is an all black boy kitten and cute as can be! He has big beautiful green eyes and loves getting pets and following his people around. He gets along well with all the other foster cats, and would prefer having a buddy, but might even do well with a dog! Luigi is a pretty chill kitten and very quiet! He's still young and ready to find the perfect home to meld into. If you're interested in adopting, please fill out the application form on CastawaycatsDE.com

*Currently listed as not neutered, but has an appointment for neutering on 2/25 * Impy came to the feral colony we care for last autumn, severely underweight. We verified with the vet that he is FIV+, and because of this, he can't stay outside. Because of his comfort level with people, we knew he was not feral - lost or abandoned, but definitely raised with humans. A very sweet gentleman, probably between 5-7 years old, the vet estimates, and now weighs close to 9 lbs. He loves people and is not at all shy to ask for pets or a lap. Though mostly white, he has an unusual tri-color coat with dark gray ears and tail, and a fawn tummy and leg markings. Impy would do well as an only cat, but he does make friends with other cats very quickly and might be the most non-aggressive tom I have ever met.

Pet was given to us because previous owners child was found to be allergic to dogs.
