Hi, I’m Derek

Meet Derek, a sophisticated feline with more charm than a vintage wine and a love for food that rivals even the most dedicated food critics. This dapper gentleman is living life at the shelter, waiting for the right person who understands the value of a quiet, independent lifestyle-and can appreciate a well-timed snack.

Derek isn't into the whole "children" thing. Nope, he prefers the company of mature humans who understand that grabbing or endless energy isn't really his jam. If you're someone who knows that boundaries are important, you'll be Derek's new best friend. He'll come to you when he wants attention, give you a polite head bump, and then politely excuse himself when he's had enough. He's all about quality, not quantity.

But let's be real, nothing gets Derek's mind racing more than food. His love for snacks is legendary, and his loyalty to anyone who provides a steady supply of delicious treats knows no bounds. So, if you're looking to bond over gourmet kibble or the occasional sneaky bite of your dinner, Derek is your guy.

Now, let's talk sticky notes. If you leave a pad lying around, prepare for Derek to launch the ultimate paper-based heist. He will methodically remove every single sticky note, one by one, until your desk looks like a colorful confetti explosion. It's his way of throwing a sticky note party!

Of course, Derek's dream life includes a secure outdoor area where he can sit in a sunny spot, ponder his bird-catching failures, and wait for his next snack like the food connoisseur he is. If you can provide a bit of peace, some gourmet snacks, and an occasional treat, Derek will grace you with his loyalty. Just remember, his affection comes in small doses-when he wants it. If you're okay with that (and the fact that he's probably waiting for you to drop some chicken on the floor), Derek is ready to be your independent, food-loving, sticky note destroying best friend forever.

P.S: Derek doesn't appreciate other cat friends, in fact he'd prefer to be your only pet for life.
