Pet of the Week: Darby

• Name: Darby
• Age: 6 years
• Weight: 13 pounds
• Gender: Female, spayed
• Breed: Balinese cat

Darby is a Balinese cat, which is a descendant of the Siamese cat—only with a longer body, head, legs, tail, and coat. They're very smart. In fact, the Balinese cats are rated the highest in intelligence of all the long haired breeds. So, when you adopt Darby, you'll get beauty and brains all rolled into one cat

When Darby's family had a new baby the parents spent less and less time with her. Then they decided to surrender Darby so the adoption counselors could match her up with a new family.

Darby's $145 adoption fee includes her medical exam, up to date vaccinations, spay, and microchip identification. 

Find out how you can adopt Darby or sponsor her until her new family finds her and takes her home. Call 760-753-64-13 or log on to SDpets.org or visit Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas. Adoption kennels and cattery are open Wednesday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
