Every animal available for adoption at The Humane Society of Delaware County is special and deserves love, but these pets need special people, and we hope it’s you!
Helping People Help Pets!
It’s pets and their humans that make difference! Our stats demonstrate how our community supports our mission. When you consider that the HSDC is not supported at the county, state or federal government level, it takes a lot of love and dedication from donors to support daily operations. As a 501(c)(3), your donations are tax deductible.

ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
🐱 Calling all cat enthusiasts!
Do you have a spare room, a comfy place for a cat to lounge, and the willingness to cater to a 10-lb. general? Excellent. You may be exactly who we’re looking for.
We’re looking for more cat fosters to help cats and kittens who need a little extra TLC — including those recovering from illness, injury, or surgery.
Many of these cats don’t need anything fancy. They just need a quiet place to rest, a little extra attention, and someone willing to accept that their new foster cat is now in charge. 👑
We provide all the supplies you need:
🐾 Food
🐾 Bedding
🐾 Litter box & scoop
🐾 Litter
🐾 Toys
🐾 Veterinary care
You provide:
❤️ A safe, comfortable space
❤️ Some extra attention
❤️ Lots of love
❤️ And, of course, your services as a highly qualified feline butler
Fostering can make a HUGE difference for a cat who needs a little more time and care before finding their forever home. And who knows? You might even enjoy having a tiny, furry supervisor around. 😉
If you love cats and want to help one who needs a little extra care, please consider becoming a cat foster!

💙 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: KATHY!💙
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Kathy Leonardo, one of our incredible longtime volunteers!
Kathy has been volunteering with us for years, and we’re so lucky to have her as part of the HSDC family. She plays an especially important role in training our new cat volunteers. She has a wonderful way of teaching new volunteers, always offering patience, kindness, and encouragement.
Kathy is a wonderful teacher and is always willing to help others learn how to best care for and work with our shelter cats. And, of course, the cats absolutely adore her! 🐱💕
Thank you, Kathy, for the time, compassion, and dedication you give to HSDC. We’re incredibly grateful for everything you do! ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

❤️🐾Happy Ending: Ash → Clive 🐾❤️
Ash, who was adopted from HSDC in November 2024, is now Clive—and he’s clearly very loved! 🥹
His family recently sent us an update, simply saying, “I love him so much,” and the photos say the rest. Clive is snuggling with his new cat sibling, cozying up on the bed, enjoying his favorite lickable treats, and even looking pretty content in his carrier!
We’re so happy to see this sweet boy comfortable, spoiled, and surrounded by love. Here’s to many more happy years, Clive! 🐱✨ ... See MoreSee Less
