About Delilah
Meet Delilah, a delicate and endearing feline who has shown remarkable resilience and grace. At just 15 months old, she entered our care after having raised three little kittens. Although initially timid, Delilah's gentle soul shines through as she learns to trust and open up to the caring hands offering her pats and cuddles.
Delilah would thrive in a quiet adult home where she can continue to blossom at her own pace. She possesses a mellow and serene demeanor, making her an ideal companion for someone seeking a peaceful presence in their life. Her quiet and reserved nature allows for the potential of deep, meaningful bonds with those she grows to trust.
While Delilah has not been exposed to other cats or dogs while in our care, she has displayed a gentle curiosity and calm demeanor. With patience and love, Delilah is ready to step into a nurturing environment that appreciates her subtle affection and gentle spirit.
If you're looking for a devoted and soft-hearted companion who will add warmth to your home, Delilah could be the perfect match, bringing tranquility and tenderness into your life.

Introducing a Kitten/Cat into a new home (especially where either a dog or cat already lives) can be a difficult challenge. It requires patience, perseverance and supervision.
Once your new kitten/cat arrives home, he or she should be made to feel safe in their own room - we call this the "sanctuary". No other cat or dog should be allowed into this room until they are fully comfortable with their new surroundings. The kitten/cat will need bedding, food, water, a view out of a window and somewhere to hide. A good idea in dog and cat families is also a 2 metre tall scratching post, where a kitten/cat can retreat if they need to.
Keep the kitten/cat in a room for the first few days, then, gradually, using a series of wooden chocks (or similar), open the door slightly to allow paws and noses to meet. It can then be opened further to allow the kitten/cat in and out, but not the older cat or dog in. We recommend that this should be continued for 14 days.
PMAWS URGES ALL OWNERS TO KEEP THEIR CATS INDOORS FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY. THERE ARE PEOPLE AROUND WHO AREN'T FOND OF CATS AND CAN DO UNTHINKABLE THINGS TO OUR DEFENCELESS LITTLE BABIES. THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO BE COLLECTED AND USED AS LIVE BAIT FOR DOG TRAINING AND FISHING LURES, AND ALSO KITTENS AS LIVE SNAKE FOOD. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP YOUR KITTY 100% SAFE, IS TO KEEP THEM INDOORS AND WE WHOLEHEARTEDLY ENCOURAGE THIS PRACTICE.
