They Wait Behind the Bars. For Many of Them, No One Will Come in Time.
By Pierre L. · Updated 7 October 2026 · 5 min read
Every year, more than 130,000 cats and kittens die because shelters are too full to take them in. Behind that number are little lives that never asked for any of this. This is their story, and the story of two brothers who decided they could no longer look away.
Dumped in a cardboard box, in the rain
Picture a cardboard box left against a low wall on a rainy evening. Inside, four kittens just a few weeks old, huddled together to keep warm. They're crying for a mother who isn't coming back.
If someone finds them in time, they'll be taken to a shelter. But there, every pen is already taken. The volunteers do what they can. They count the bags of food, ration the litter, and make choices every single day that break their hearts.
There's nothing unusual about this scene. It plays out every day, in silence, while the rest of us head home to the warm.
cats and kittens die every year, because shelters are too full.
Full shelter, closed door. And they're the ones who pay.
Abandonments, unwanted litters, winters too cold for those living outside… The arrivals never stop. The spaces, though, are limited. And so is the money.
A shelter that's short of food, litter or vet care can't take in one more cat. Every "no" comes at a cost, and it's the most fragile who pay it: kittens, elderly cats, sick cats.
"We decided to act."
Deltee was founded in 2020 by two brothers who grew up surrounded by the stray cats their mum used to take in. As children, they saw what a full bowl and a warm corner can change: eyes that light up again, a body that gets its strength back, trust that slowly returns.
As adults, they never forgot. So they created a brand around one simple idea: part of every purchase goes to helping cat shelters. Not as an anonymous cheque. The team buys the food, litter and care themselves, loads it into a van, and delivers it in person. Every donation drop is filmed and shared.

They chose to act. Now it's your turn.
A caring and original concept that helps animals.
The first reason is that it helps support animal welfare, and more specifically the far too many abandonments.
The second is that the products you buy to support this important cause are original and really beautiful. Finally a concept that's useful, full of humanity and original. Well done

Can't order? Share this. It really matters.
If you can't treat yourself to this ring, that's absolutely fine. Spreading the word about this cause helps enormously. One share can reach the right person, and every bit of support counts for the cats still waiting.
"Thank you so much for your support. Peace and love!"

A ring she'll fall in love with, and full bowls for the cats who are still waiting.
