Diego and Shashi have adoptions pending 09/01/2024
Diego came to MISR on May 4, 2024. His birth date is January 2, 2023, so he is just over 1 1/2 years old. (He was named Diego so it was not changed to Luke or some other name referencing "May the Fourth be with You".
Diego is a quiet guy. Foster dad does not recall hearing him speak. Diego was withdrawn when he arrived and did not interact with foster dad. Foster dad was reluctant to integrate him with the other cats because he was so introverted.
Unlike other reserved cats, Diego reacted to people positively rather quickly. In his own way, Diego made marked improvement in his relationships with people. The key phrase being: 'in his own way'.
Diego is very much people oriented in the morning. So much so that he is a literal trip-hazard as foster dad prepares breakfast plates for everyone. Diego also loves back-scratches in the a.m. He is not a voracious eater but he does eat canned food, and dry food is always available for free-feeding.
Diego spends most of his day on one special chair in the family room. As the day progresses he is less eager for human contact and will often slink away if approached. Sometimes, foster dad can give him a belly rub which he rolls over to accept. He may not be a lap-cat but he is becoming more receptive to people.
A few weeks ago we had a visiting kitten and Diego loved to wrestle and play with him. The kitten loved "attacking" his big foster brother. We think Diego was sad when his buddy was no longer around for play. However, there is a new foster kitten that Diego loves to play with and wrestle. So, Diego is an excellent candidate for a family that has a kitten or wants to adopt a kitten in addition to Diego.
Diego is current on rabies and distemper shots, and has been FIV/FELV tested. All known health issues have been addressed. He is located in a foster home in Novi MI. His adoption fee is $200.
