Darby 2                    Born 5/5/05


Everyone can remember a girl from high school who was a little wild, did some foolish things, and then got stuck with a bad reputation even after she had changed her ways. Well, Darby is that girl. A while back she just happened to bite a couple of hands – nothing too serious, and after all, they were children who probably didn’t know how to treat her – but she got the unfortunate label of “biter”. At the sanctuary, that means every new person who comes to visit the cats gets warned about you, which makes them very reluctant to hold and pet you. Bad enough that she became “Darby 2” when her namesake, the original Darby, came back as an adoption return. But now her name was on a warning sign on the Uptown wall and people seemed to avoid her. What’s a girl to do?

 

Fortunately, a few new volunteers missed the warning, or didn’t realize which cat was Darby. It turns out that these days she is a cuddly, loveable doll who really appreciates a good lap and will be very nice to you…most of the time… if you just give her a chance. But every once in a while... ;o)
