Darlene came to the shelter after being found as a stray, in rough shape. Her nails had grown so long they pierced her paw pads, and her teeth were in a bad way too. After a nail trim and dental surgery, Darlene is feeling much better and looking forward to her next chapter. She's about 15 years old but still keeps up her energy and stays vocal—especially when she’s hungry, which is most of the time. Darlene is FIV+, meaning her immune system is a bit weaker, but she doesn't need medication and still has plenty of years and love left to give. She prefers to be the only cat in the home, since she’s got a sassy attitude toward other animals. Darlene would likely do well with children who respect her space, especially when she’s not in the mood for fuss. Darlene is ready to settle into a home where she can relax, get the attention she asks for, and enjoy her golden years in peace. Fun fact: She’s an Aries, so she has plenty of spirit left in her.
