Six-month-old Derby is a delightful tabby boy who is gorgeous, and sweet to boot! Derby starts out a tad shy, but a little gentle petting will get his purr motor going. He likes to be held and cuddled once he knows you a bit (smart boy!) and also will enjoy playtime with quiet wand toys. This little fellow is going to bring you so much tender love and joy! Derby's adoption fee has been prepaid by a generous donor.
Derby is positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), and can only live with other FeLV+ cats, dogs, or other non-feline animals. FeLV is only contagious to cats; it is not contagious to humans, dogs, or other non-cat animals. Derby must always remain an indoor kitty, and needs to be fed a nutritionally complete and balanced diet.
Derby's adopter must be at least 18 years old with valid-state issued identification. ARF encourages family members to participate in the adoption process, especially children. Please visit ARF's web site for information on adoption and to view more great cats.
