Domestic Short Hair - Diamondback - Medium - Adult - Male - Cat
Is there anyone out there who could love me?
Diamondback is a male brown tabby domestic short hair, born November 14th, 2007.
Diamondback was a stray who was hanging around the County 911 call center, until management ordered the staff to "get rid of him". With nowhere else to go and no one who could take him in, Diamondback came to Kitty Corner to find a forever home. Diamondback is quite shy, and he hides from strangers. Diamondback is a bit shy even around the people he knows. When in a familiar environment he is 'out and about'. While he doesn't mind the proximity of people he's familiar with, approaching him makes him very nervous and causes him to hide. We can't imagine what may have happened to him outside to make him so afraid of people, all we know is it will take a patient, loving family to bring him to trust people again.
Diamondback gets along well with other cats, and seems to enjoy their company. He has become good buddies with Joe, and they often hang out in the large wicket basket by the window to watch the birds and nap together. Diamondback is pretty laid back, and he could probably get along with most other cats, as long as they weren't overly bossy or aggressive to him. We feel Diamondback would do best with a very patient person who would be willing to give Diamondback the time and space he needs to feel comfortable enough to come to trust them. Diamondback needs patience, love and stability in his life to blossom into a good companion. Diamondback would be a wonderful 'project' for someone who enjoys working with shy animals and seeing them blossom. All he needs is love and patience. Diamondback is looking for a family who can be patient with him and understand his fears, and show him that it's safe to trust people again. He will need a special person who understands he is not able to give "instant love", and that trust and friendship must come over time. If you think you may be the right family for Diamondback, please call us today to come meet him.
