Caring for Feral and Homeless Cats in Delaware
Darla spent a full YEAR with Forgotten Cats before finally being adopted this month. We attribute this long stay to nothing other than bad luck.
Darla was showered with love from her devoted foster family and the adoption center volunteers for the last year but we know she is beyond happy to now be in her forever home (see pic!).
We are forever grateful to her adoptive family and hope to receive many more amazing updates like these.
Happy Endings!!! In April, we posted about needing to find a home for Helsing, a special needs kitty. We recently received an update from Helsing’s new family . . .
‘Hi. My wife and I adopted Helsing back in April. He is a diabetic older kitty. We are happy to announce that we have his blood glucose stabilized in the 100s and have been able to cut his insulin to a 1/2 unit, twice a day. Our vet is hopeful that we may even get him into remission. We promised an update on this fellow, so here it is. We are so happy to have him in our home. He is a perfect gentleman in his little tuxedo.
Helsing has been a perfect patient. He takes his shots like a champion and is close to being in remission. He is our 2nd diabetic old man kitty. We adopted him after his predecessor passed away in January. Our home will probably always have an old diabetic cat in it, as we have found that they are so appreciative of the care they receive.
That picture (below) is of him and his little buddy Rufus. He was also a Forgotten Cat that we adopted in January.
We are so happy to have him in our home. They’re both well loved.’
Happy Endings!!!
“Hello, I would like to give you guys at Forgotten Cats an update on Daisy (now known as Toffee) who we adopted three weeks ago from the Petsmart in Brandywine Town Center (DE). She is such a wonderful kitty and she is fitting very well into our family. It took a bit of time, but both of our cats have warmed up to her as well as our dog! She is very playful, confident, and likes to meow loudly at me for dinner and breakfast. She is the first cat I have had that actually likes belly rubs!”
Happy Endings!!! “Here’s an update on Bobby Ray, now Monty, exactly 1 year later! He’s still the sweetest cuddle-monster you ever met. He likes catching toys and running off with them, and loves to snuggle down in bed at night. He STILL sticks his tongue out on a regular basis. It’s a feature! We are so happy he’s got his forever home with us. ❤️”
Happy Endings!!! Skye, formerly Uma Purrman, was recently adopted. Her new family shares, “I just wanted to reach out and tell you how happy our family has been with Skye ? she is such a sweet little girl who purrs all day long and loves pets and attention. She sleeps above my head at night and makes biscuits on our chests ?❤️ we can’t imagine our home without her!”
Happy Endings!!! Sometimes a cat finds her forever home in a way that can only be described as destiny. Hazel is a shy girl who was staying at our adoption center in Jenkintown, but didn’t seem happy there so we were just getting ready to take her back into foster care when the perfect human found her. Here’s an update!
“I want to thank you again for helping me take Hazel (Masha) home with me. She has truly been a pure blessing in my life.
A month before I actually adopted Hazel, now Masha, I found her on Petfinder. The second I saw her, I knew that she was the cat for me. I kept on looking to see if there were any cats closer to me in any shelters but I always ended up finding my way back to Masha. She was the only one in my favorites on the website. One weekend, I came home and it was just by chance that I went into PetSmart. While there, I decided to check out the cats for adoption and there was Masha! I couldn’t believe it. I had no idea that she was there, I didn’t know she was out of her foster home. It was just by chance that I was home that weekend, it was just by chance that I went into PetSmart, and I would later find out that Masha had only been at the center for a few days after leaving her foster home.
I’ve had her for a little more than a month now. And the timid, scared kitten that I had brought home that was too terrified to take a single step while I was awake has blossomed into a curious, playful and loving addition to the family. She is by my side anytime I’m studying, circles around constantly to be pet and sleeps next to me every night.
I’m so happy to have been able to adopt and give this angel a home.”
Dalton came to us from Forgotten Cats 10 weeks ago.
Our lovable PHILLY cat!
Dalton came to us from Philly. He was very shy when we first met him, and we were told he was a jumper which on the first day he came home with us he decided he wanted to be included with our grandkids pictures as well which below is a picture of him less than 2 hours of coming home with us.
I could not get over how big of a cat he was. As I was looking at other cats that they shown me at the pet store this cat kept standing out.
No, he was not a kitten which I first wanted, and yes he loves to jump which I was hesitant on wanting this but I thought why not take chance on this older cat.
We are so glad we did! He adjusted very well to the family and truly is living the good life now. I’m so glad we took a chance on this big guy. He is so loveable and the cutest cat he possible can be. Thanks, Forgotten Cats for rescuing him.
