**SPECIAL NEEDS ALERT – BLIND SENIOR SWEETHEART WITH A GREAT BEHAVIOR RATING IS PURRING HER HEART OUT FOR AN UNDERSTANDING CAT PARENT – PLEASE GRANT DELILAH A DEATH ROW PARDON!!!** Delightful DELILAH, a ten-year-old BLIND brown tabby beauty with striking markings, finds herself cast aside into the kill-happy ACC when her old owners MOVED to new cat-free digs, leaving her to face her fate alone. Talkative Delilah is a PLAYFUL “GOLDEN OLDIE” who soon set about PLAYING IN SHREDDED PAPER! This charming senior gal MEOWED & PURRED her way up to a near-perfect AVERAGE behavioral rating! Delilah has the usual senior issues: underweight, possible anemia, her blindness, & the ACC suspects that she “MAY” have kidney issues or diabetes, but NONE OF THESE CONDITIONS deserve a death sentence! Yet that’s EXACTLY what the ACC has decreed for her. Darling Delilah will DIE AT NOON TOMORROW, abandoned, alone, & afraid. YOU, dear reader, are writing the ending to Delilah’s story. Will she have a second chance at a loving forever home, or will they silence her purrs forever? Please start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt adorable blind senior lovebug DELILAH from the approved New Hope rescue groups! If you can’t save DELILAH yourself, please SHARE her sad story & PLEDGE for her rescue!

03/25/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Reaction to assessor: Delilah was calm, relaxed, and friendly upon approach. When softly spoken to, she faces the assessor and meows. Reaction to cage door opening: Delilah remains soft and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Delilah meows, remains in place for petting, and begins to purr. Reaction to toy or novel object: Delilah shows no interest in playing. Reaction to being picked up: Delilah remains calm and allows handling. As per previous owner, Delilah has lived with 2 seniors for her entire life. They said she enjoys petting sometimes, but can be shy and hides a lot. They said she hides when she hears the doorbell ring. They also state that Delilah is blind. Her prospective owners need to be aware that they may need to make some accommodations in the home, but generally blind animals adapt very well. Behavior Determination: Average Delilah interacts with the Assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. There is no known history of behavioral problems. She was easy to handle during her initial medical exam, although she was very vocal. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
