Story
My sweet Clementine was given to me by a coworker who could no longer care for him as a kitten. He is now approximately 7 years old (human years). Clementine is a cuddly boy but he’s also very anxious and doesn’t adapt well to change, he gets stressed out easily and can act out aggressively. Clementine was my first pet and first love, choosing to re home him has been the hardest decision I’ve had to make but it’s for the safety of my baby boy. He will thrive in a quiet, child free, cat free home. Clementine deserves a calm home full of love and comfort. He likes to be up high as he is the king of the castle, he will fall asleep in your arms like a baby, and he will try and bring you his favorite bunny and caterpillar toys when he wants to play. Please give him a chance to be loved gently.

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped.  * If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Meet Darcy, a charming 7 year old guy with a heart as big as his personality. Darcy's sweet nature is immediately apparent; he's the type of cat who will greet you with a friendly meow and a purr. His loyalty knows no bounds, and he's always there to offer comfort and companionship. If you are looking for a tall, dark, and handsome guy that wakes you up at 3am for attention, Mr. Darcy will consider your adoption proposal. His nonchalance quickly evaporates around mealtimes, and he will gladly cuddle with a warm blanket and a good book. Mr. Darcy requires a large space for brooding and a single-pet household because he would love to be the center of all your attention. He's a vocal kitty, communicating his thoughts and feelings openly. His delightful personality makes him a joy to be around. He is not super playful but will bat the occasional toy mice around when the mood strikes him. He loves to get daily pets from his humans and enjoys snuggling up at night with them in bed. Black cats are often overlooked at the shelter, but they have proven to have the absolute best personalities, and Darcy certainly does. He is a fabulous boy. Adopt Mr. Darcy and gain a friend for life. He has been neutered, vaccinated, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, dewormed, flea treated and microchipped. His adoption fee is $150.August 27, 2025, 11:35 pm
