Hi, My name is Darcy

Darcy, the Wonder Kitty, from Ohio

I wasn’t looking for a kitten. I was just in the Roseville PetsMart for pet supplies. But I always walk over to the adoption area to see who’s there. I noticed a little tabby kitten named Souffle – there was no information on her card except that she was "sweet’ and "from Ohio."

Well, I own another female tabby named Fruity – I adopted her 14 years ago in Ohio. I quietly tapped on the glass of Souffle’s pen and she came running over to me like we were long lost friends. When I held her the first time, she nuzzled right into my neck purring and stayed in my lap more than an hour. I was hooked. I went back to PetsMart the next several days to see if she was always so affectionate and calm – and she was. Three days later I adopted her. Now I have 2 female tabby cats from Ohio!

Souffle now goes by the name Darcy. I learned from Gentle Touch Animal Sanctuary that many of their cats and kittens are as nice, calm and affectionate because of the great care they get there.

Here is a picture of Darcy her first night in her new home. Nothing phases her – not the ride in the car or her first visit to the vet for a check-up. She watches TV in my lap, a very happy cat. Thanks to GTAS and the great foster care they provide. I’m really glad Darcy found me.
