Snowshoe kittens & cats in Alliance, Ohio

Meet Mr. Darcy. He's eight years young and ready for his next chapter. If you’re a fan of classic romance, you’ll appreciate the story behind this handsome guy's name. Mr. Darcy is named after the famously reserved yet deeply devoted hero of Pride and Prejudice. Like his literary namesake, our Mr. Darcy may appear dignified at first glance, but beneath that composed exterior is a gentle soul with so much affection to give once he feels at home. Mr. Darcy is an eight year old Snowshoe. While the rescue technically considers him a “senior,” we prefer to say he is 8 years young because more middle-aged than elderly, with plenty of love, companionship and cozy years ahead of him. He came to us at the end of October through no fault of his own. Sadly, his owner was no longer able to care for him and it was in Mr. Darcy’s best interest that he be surrendered so he could find a new family to cherish him. Upon arrival, he received treatment for worms and has since been moving forward on his adoption journey. You may notice a health waiver flag on Mr. Darcy’s file. This is due to a small fleshy bump that our veterinary team examined and identified as likely a sebaceous cyst. To explain simply: * A sebaceous cyst is a non-cancerous (benign) lump under the skin * It is typically filled with keratin and natural skin oils * These cysts can sometimes shrink or go away on their own * At this time, Mr. Darcy’s cyst does not require treatment, but it will need to be monitored by his adopter and his regular vet Our adoption consultant will review Mr. Darcy’s medical records thoroughly with his future adopter, ensuring you feel fully informed, comfortable and confident as you begin your life together. We want to ensure that both you and Mr. Darcy are set up for success in your life together. Mr. Darcy is looking for a calm, loving home where he can enjoy the finer things in life including soft beds, gentle affection and someone who appreciates a mature gentleman with a romantic name and a tender heart. If you believe in second chances and classic love stories, Mr. Darcy may be the perfect match for you. The shelter is open Tuesdays through Fridays 3:30-6:30pm AND Saturdays & Sundays 1pm-4pm.
