Meet Darren, a fluffy couch potato no one has wanted to adopt for eight years.

Thecatis still looking for a forever home after living most of his life at theOcooch Mountain Humane Societyin Wisconsin.

“He might not be a lap cat; he might just be kind of a roommate as opposed to a true pet cat,” Arbegust said of Darren.

Darren’sadoption page describes hischaracteristics as “gentle, curious, quiet, independent, couch potato, dignified” and mentions, “he’s a big, handsome fellow who enjoys basking in the sun and the finer things in life. What a Hunk!”

The adoption page photoshoot shows he truly enjoys lounging about, preferably somewhere close to a sunny window.
