Meet Your New Best Friend!
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!
We hope you can join us on Saturday, July 18th for our Wine, Dine, and Whiskers 2026 FurBall!
Enjoy an evening of fun, food, and entertainment while helping raise vital funds to care for animals in need.
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.
- 11,100+ lives saved since 2019
- 1,906 adoptions in 2024
- 2,180 foster placements in 2024
ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Meet Billy Jr. our shelter's Distinguished Gentleman!
At 16 years young, Billy Jr. has mastered the art of being the perfect companion. This handsome senior came to us later in life, and while he may have a few more birthdays under his belt than some of our other cats, that just means he comes with plenty of wisdom, charm, and appreciation for the quiet comforts of home. 🐾
Billy Jr. is doing wonderfully for his age! To help keep him feeling his best, he’s enjoying a special kidney-support diet and he’s still just as spry and curious as ever.
Senior cats like Billy Jr. often get overlooked, but they make some of the most loving and loyal companions. They’re past the wild kitten stage and ready to spend their days soaking up sunshine, napping in cozy spots, and keeping their favorite person company.
Billy Jr. doesn’t need much just a warm home, a soft bed, and someone who will love him through his golden years. In return, he promises gentle purrs, quiet companionship, and a whole lot of heart.
If you believe every cat deserves a loving home, no matter their age, come meet Billy Jr. during our open hours Monday–Saturday, 11am to 5pm. No appointment needed!
Let’s help this sweet senior find the retirement home he deserves. ... See MoreSee Less
