Delilah

On Dec. 30, 2025, Delilah (Didi or Deli for short) was brought to the low cost clinic in Bardstown to be spayed, along with another DLH about same age (5 mos. then) from the same barn. While her friend, probably not a littermate, was very friendly, Didi definitely was not. She was quickly taken into foster with her friend who was sickly. Didi was healthy and was spayed and vaccinated.<br/><br/>This unusual, strikingly pretty cat remains in foster. For weeks, she hid in a soft, enclosed cat bed. She was petted daily and never tried to bite, but she did not seek interaction with her human in spite of treats, toys, and quiet, non-threatening surroundings. She would come out to eat and use pan only at night. After 2 mos., she began to walk around more, especially at feeding time, and now actually "sashays" around with tail up. <br/><br/>As of today, March 29, she is outright playful, and glad to see her foster mom. She likes to be petted on her back, but is still a little nervous about her head. She rolls around belly-up, but her "mom" has not tried to reach for that belly. She is still afraid of loud noises and sudden movements and would not be a good fit for a home with small kids or any other kind of chaos.<br/><br/>She has no physical special needs, but Didi is not a cat that many people would be willing to work with. It may be weeks or months before she becomes well socialized. We chose not to return her to the barn home because of her very long fur. It would be impossible to keep her from getting matted to the skin in an outdoor setting where she was never handled.<br/><br/>If interested in this cat, please fill out an application accessible on this website homepage.
