Darcy's Info...
| Breed: | Domestic Longhair | Color: | Black & White Or Tuxedo | Age: | Adult |
| Sex: | Female | Hair: | Long |
Darcy's Cat-Tale: Darcy was born about August 15, 2008. She was taken in by someone in an apartment building, only to be kicked back outside when pets weren't allowed. She was taken back in during the winter, only to become homeless once more when pets were not allowed. She's a beautiful Long-haired black & white kitty. She's learning what toys are and loving it, especially mice !!!!
Darcy is shy and not the first one to bolt across the room. She'd do well in a quiet home, she's pretty content to be playing & have a 'spot' that she can hide in, if she's feeling insecure. She's very loving.....she needs a cat-whisperer who understands that she needs time to adjust to her new home.
She needs someone who's going to love her for the rest of HER life......not just keep her for sometime and then grow tired and toss her outside to fend for herself. She's cute as can be and deserves a loving home........and someone to love.
Understandably she's not 100% trusting of people - as no one has been 'there for her'....... consistently. If you're someone with the desire to love this cat for who she is and give of yourself, so she knows not all poeple are uncaring......please come meet Darcy.
Please go to: www.cat-talesrescue.petfinder.com to open the Adoption Application [we MUST have a complete address (City, State and ZipCode)]....listed at the top of the page. INCOMPLETE applications will delay processing.
Rescue Group Info...
Simply put: so many people say "why doesn't somebody do something about all the stray/feral cats/kittens.?" We are just one 'somebody' doing what we can to help those with no voice and no choice. We are in it for the cats.
We give out time and energy back to the community by donating food, blankets, spay/neuter help and guidance with placing cats in good homes. We are NOT a 501c3 non-profit organization.....we're just trying to help the overpopulation problem that man started and continues to allow to happen. Having over 22,000 cats euthanized at the local SPCA each YEAR is unacceptable!!!!! Mom cats turned in with their kittens are counted as just ONE animal .......kittens are automatically euthanized because there is no extra time or money to raise the kittens. SO = Please, SPAY and NEUTER your kittens & cats.......they'll recover from surgery much faster as kittens. There are TOO many cats and not enough homes or people to help the cats.
Be 'somebody', be Pro-Active for the cats.
Please contact us by email if you wish to meet a cat/kitten listed. We are open to allowing adoptees to try a cat for a week or two and will take the cat back, refunding their adoption fee[if less than 30 days from adoption] OR allowing them to try a different cat OR referring them to another local rescue that may have what they desire.
If you're interested in lending a helping hand, please contact us....we never know when help will be needed. There is always a need somewhere in the 'rescue world'. If you're interested in long-term fostering, please email us......many kittens need several months of socialization in homes where people have the time to give to the cats.
We have a signed contract. We require an adoption fee. Adult cats under 3 yrs of age are $80. [if 2 are adopted together or with-in a couple of weeks of one another, the adoption fee per cat is $70]. Cats over 3 yrs of age are $60. Owner relinquished cats are $55. We will ALWAYS take back the cat/kitten ...whether one month, one year or ten years later ....we want the cats to have a home. We want the right cat for the right home. We give our adoptees the cats medical records, favorite toys and some cat nip. We forward all photos that we have so that you'll have the start of your family album. We sell cedar scratching posts which all of our cats are used to using. Our cats are all: spay/neutered, tested for FIV/FeLV[if kittens, the mom cat is tested], dewormed, [deflead, treated for earmites as well as tapeworms and protozoa {if signs are exhibited while in our care} if necessary. We encourage adoptees to look into getting their pets microchipped - as it is the one identification that can get the cat returned to them or their vet/local rescue. We do microchip all cats that we rescue, as of March 2007. We do have addtional chips available if the animal is not already chipped for a fee of $12. We use 24-PetWatch Microchips and we'll always be linked with the cat, should you be unable to be reached.
