Derek - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Duxbury, Massachusetts

Derek should've been named Mighty Mouse. As a singleton kitten, he landed in a litter already a week or two older than him — and wasted no time appointing himself ring leader anyway. Turns out size was never going to be the boss of him.

He's playful, lovable, and fearlessly confident, the kind of kitten who marches right up to whatever (or whoever) is new. Expect to laugh a lot. He needs to be adopted with another kitten or join a family that already has a pet at home.
