My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Date of birth: 6/1/2025 | Derek Hough is a charming gray kitten with the perfect balance of playful energy and snuggly sweetness. He loves nothing more than curling up in a warm lap for pets and naps, but when it's time for fun, he's always ready to spring into action: chasing toys, being silly, and keeping everyone entertained. Derek thrives on attention and isn't shy about asking for it. He'll happily beg his humans for love and pets and does the same with his feline friends, because life is just better when it's shared. He's friendly, easygoing, and truly enjoys being around his people and other cats. This sweet boy would do best in a home where he can have a feline companion at all times, as he loves having a buddy to keep him company. If you're looking for a cat who can play during the day and settle in for cuddles afterward, Derek is ready to be your perfect match. | Cats: Loves them and requires a feline companion at all times | Dogs: Unknown | Kids: Unknown, but optimistic| Health information: All cats and kittens are spayed and neutered, preventatively dewormed, and microchipped. In addition, they are FeLV/FIV tested and vaccinated as appropriate by age. | Interested in adopting?

Additional adoption info

Some of our "ready to adopt" felines are located at one of our Arizona PetSmart locations. https://www.savingonelife.org/adopt/locations/

We also have a small satellite operation in San Diego with adoption events on select Saturdays at the PetSmart Escondido store.

We highly recommend applying in advance in order to increase your opportunity at adopting the kitty you are interested in. Applications are processed in the order they were received. If you have questions, please email adoptions@savingonelife.org.

More about this rescue

Saving One Life is a completely foster based, volunteer run, never kill rescue. Our motto is that although we can't save the world, it makes a world of difference to the ones we do save.

If you find a litter of kittens or your cat accidentally got pregnant - please contact us if you are able to foster them at intake@savingonelife.org. We cannot take in more animals without foster homes. All supplies and vet care will be taken care of - all you have to do is open your home and heart to them until they can find homes of their own!

All of our adoptable animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested for felv/fiv (Cats), dewormed, and microchipped. Adoption fees range depending on the animal's age and breed. All adoption fees assist other animals in our care - we do not have any paid employees. We are a completely never kill group that provides sanctuary to any "unadoptable" animals that come into our care including hospice care.
