She enjoys the company of other cats and is friendly with children.

About Delilah

Your new best friend is just one click away. Meet Delilah, an 8-month-old sweetheart currently at SNAP Cats. Delilah is a playful, loving, and very active cat who doesn't let missing the bottom half of her rear leg slow her down. Despite this, she keeps up with all the other kitties and loves to be in the center of attention—and on your lap! Her condition doesn't require special medical care, just the occasional check to ensure she's comfortable and healthy. Delilah and her brother, Samson (who shares a similar leg difference), were originally rescued together and arrived as a bonded pair. While it's possible to adopt them separately, they truly enjoy each other's company, and it would be lovely for them to go to a home together, but it's not required. Delilah is social and affectionate, always ready for playtime or a cozy cuddle. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
