Derby's Story

Meet Derby! This gorgeous all-black mama has already raised her own little Midlands crew--Nottingham, Birmingham, and Durham--and now it's finally her turn to find a forever home of her own. Like the city she's named after, Derby has plenty of charm waiting to be discovered. She may not be the first to race over and greet you, but don't let that throw you off track! Derby is a shy girl who takes a little time to warm up, but once you've earned her trust, you'll find a gentle, loyal companion who enjoys the company of the people she knows best.<br/><br/>One shortcut to Derby's heart? Mealtime! Derby is always happy when it's time to eat, and she'll let you know with her adorable little meows. Whether she's reminding you the food bowl could use a refill or simply asking for some attention, Derby isn't afraid to speak up when she has something to say. Because of her tummy troubles, Derby is on a specific diet. Her dietary needs are an important part of her care, so if you're interested in making Derby part of your family, please speak with one of our staff members for more information about her diet and how to help keep her happy and healthy.<br/><br/>She's looking for a patient adopter who understands that the best friendships aren't always built at full speed. Give her the time and space to settle in, and you'll be rewarded with quiet companionship, sweet conversations, and a loving companion who's well worth the journey. If you're ready to stay the course and let love reach the finish line at Derby's pace, she'll happily make your home her final destination.

D'Arcy's Animal Rescue Centre's Adoption Policy
Connecting the right pets with the right families If you come to D'Arcy's A.R.C. to adopt a pet, you will be asked many questions to ensure that the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home and that you are prepared for the responsibilities and commitment of pet ownership. This discussion can go several ways. We may agree that the pet you are considering is an excellent match for your lifestyle, and lucky to have met you. We may suggest that you select a pet more suited to the home environment you will provide, or we may determine that you cannot take on the responsibilities and commitment of pet ownership at this time. Suppose you want to adopt a special needs pet with a physical condition or behavioural issues requiring extra care. In that case, we will ask that you fill out an application form. Our shelter manager will review this application form to ensure that you are aware of the cat's needs and the potential costs involved and can provide a suitable home. Potential adopters must provide a valid photo I.D. If you are leasing or renting a property for which the pet will call home, a copy of your leasing agreement that outlines that your home is pet-friendly is required. A letter or email signed by the landlord is also acceptable. All of our pets are spayed & neutered. Any kittens or puppies too young for the procedure at the time of adoption will have their spay/neuter paid for at our expense at our chosen veterinary clinic when they reach six months of age. Our cats all receive FVRCP vaccines, while all dogs receive DA2PP and Rabies. The adopter is responsible and must pay for any other medical treatments required after the adoption process. All adopted pets come with a care package, trial pet insurance, and a valid City of Winnipeg pet license for one year.
