Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet the beautiful Darla! Darla is a fluffy sweetheart who is always looking for snuggles. Her foster describes her as calm, docile and affectionate. Darla is incredibly soft and loving. As an older lady she may not be as energetic or playful but she loves to cuddle with her people and be near humans as much as possible. Due to chronic ear infections and potential chronic kidney disease, Darla is one of our Special Care pets. Darla will need to go to a home comfortable with the frequent vet visits and treatments that older cats often need - especially those experiencing dynamic health issues like this sweet thirteen year old. Her foster notes, "Whenever we sit on the couch, she immediately comes to snuggle with us. Very well behaved. No scratching, biting, jumping on tables or countertops." Think you could give this perfect princess a gentle home? Interested in adopting?
