About Delilah

Delilah is taking part in our Camp Purr working cat program, tailored for feral or semi-feral cats who thrive in outdoor environments. This means Delilah will be happiest living outside, where she can be a working cat. It's essential that adopters offer shelter, food, and proper care year-round, and collaborate with our Camp Purr team for a smooth transition to her new home. Since she's part of a community of cats, Delilah must be adopted alongside at least one other Camp Purr cat to maintain her social environment. Adoption requires an appointment so our team can assist you effectively. Delilah has been spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, making her ready for her new adventure. She stands out with her striking black and white coloring and is a lively one-year-old. Click apply to start the adoption process.
