My story

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

Meet Diego, your new playful and affectionate companion!

Diego is a playful boy who is known for his love of wand toys. When he sees one, he will energetically try to catch the toy and roll around with it! He is also a cat who loves his snacks, especially lickable treats. Diego is so motivated by food that he would be an excellent candidate for cat training to learn some cool tricks!

When he first arrives in a new home, Diego may at first be a little shy. After getting to know a new friend, he enjoys cheek and chin scratches while he’s eating and when he’s just relaxing. Diego would be a great match for a patient adopter who will offer play and treats to help him come out of his shell and grow into a confident boy! 

  • Diego would probably do best in a home with kids ages 8 and up.
  • Adopters should use a slow and gentle approach to build trust with Diego. 
  • An Admissions and Placement Specialist can give you tips to help set Diego up for success.

*The ASPCA Adoption Center encourages a $150 suggested adoption fee when adopting an animal. This suggested adoption fee allows the ASPCA to continue our lifesaving work and help even more animals in need. We are grateful for any and all amounts given at the time of adoption.*

**The ASPCA is committed to prioritizing the health and safety of the community, the animals in our care and our staff, and we are keeping a close eye on developments related to the COVID-19 crisis as they evolve. As such, the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City is currently closed for in-person visitors. However, we are excited to offer remote adoptions using video conferencing! In-person meet-and-greets are also sometimes available or required for specific animals. Please check out our available cats and dogs above, and if one catches your eye, apply directly for him or her. An ASPCA Matchmaker will let you know if the animal you are interested in adopting is eligible for or requires an in-person meet-and-greet.

Please note: Adoption applications are handled in the order they are received and submitting an adoption survey does not constitute a hold or guaranteed adoption. You can expect to receive automated emails updating you on your adoption status as our Matchmakers go through applications. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you find your match!**

More about this shelter

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world. Our organization was founded by Henry Bergh in 1866 on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans, and must be protected under the law. Headquartered in New York City, the ASPCA maintains a strong local presence, and with programs that extend our anti-cruelty mission across the country, we are recognized as a national animal welfare organization. We are a privately funded 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, and proud to boast more than 1 million supporters across the country.
