My story

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

Diego is a BIG boy with very kissable cheeks. He adores being on your lap, next to your lap and thinking about getting in your lap. He will sleep next to you and nap next to you. He is just learning about toys and playing but is way more interested in his person and getting attention than anything else. He is making up for lost time in getting all the love that he can. At some point he had to have been somebody's baby and they dumped him out. He is a love and not a fighter and life for him outside was not easy. He ended up scarred, beaten up and with bite marks. Clearly he did not fight back. Being the easy target, he was attacked brutally by other cats and ended up with FIV. What does that mean? Very little other than if he get sick, he needs to see the vet. He doesn't need medication, extra care and should live as long and happy of a life as a non FIV baby. (You can learn more about FIV at www.fivcats.com). He happily lives with other cats in foster care and is gentle and loving, if not a little cautious with them. He just wants love and kisses. If you are looking for a sweet, perfect, gentle boy who wants to be on or near your lap purring, then this big boy is for you.

Diego is quite the chonky boy (20 pounds) and will need someone willing to help him lose a little weight by controlling his diet). He will also need brushing on a regular basis since he has trouble grooming himself propery because of his size.

More about this rescue

A Winning Team

We are a small group of animal lovers who are working together to help facilitate Trap Neuter Release and medical care for animals in need. We are here to help each other help the animals and to partner with businesses, rescues and groups to make the biggest impact.

Our History

Mia (known as “Murderous Mia”) is a rescue cat who came to her mom as a hospice foster with many medical issues. She has overcome a lot of health concerns and in her journey, met a lot of human pals (many of whom are a little frightened of her angsty 4 pd person). She and her pals decided that they wanted to help animals in need. So a group of her people joined together to help do Trap Neuter Release (TNR) to lessen the population and suffering of animals and help cover costs of care for animals in need (dogs, cats, birds... Mia insists on not being specist). She invites all those who want to find a way to help to join her mafia. Her only rules are: 1. the animals come first 2. everyone supports each other and 3. no drama remain calm. The goal is to have fun while we all work together to make life better for the ones we can help.

Animals Are Our Mission

We focus on keeping things positive and supporting each other so that we can be at our best to do the most good for the animals. We strive to collaborate with others and encourage our team to come up with new and better ideas of ways to help and to run with those ideas.
