About Darby

Darby is a charming adult cat who is ready to find her forever home after being returned, alongside her sibling Smitty, through no fault of their own. At first, she may come off as shy, but don't let that fool you; she possesses a delightful mix of curiosity and playfulness. Darby enjoys those quiet moments during the day lounging in the sun or curled up in her favorite hideaway. When she's ready for company, she seeks you out—popping up between your legs or easing onto your lap, giving gentle cheek rubs and adorable "I love you" chirps. Her quirky little personality shines, highlighted by the way she seems to be pondering the world with her head cocked to the side. Recently, she had some dental work done but now feels great and is in excellent health. Ready to bring this elegant and affectionate spirit into your home? Click apply to start the adoption process.
