The sentence describes a situation where Don was excited to adopt a kitten but later discovers he is allergic to cats. This is an example of **situational irony**, as the outcome (being allergic to the pet he eagerly adopted) is opposite to what one would expect (that adopting a pet would bring joy without health issues).
