About Diesel
Diesel’s story began at a local service station, where he was found alone, injured, and covered in scratches after surviving life on the streets. Despite everything he had been through, this beautiful boy never lost his gentle spirit or his love for people.
Since coming into care, Diesel has received all of his veterinary treatment and is now safe, healthy, and ready to find the loving home he has always deserved.
Diesel is FIV positive, but this does not define him. Cats with FIV can live long, happy, completely normal lives indoors with proper care.
What truly makes Diesel special is his affectionate nature. He absolutely adores people and will happily soak up all the attention, pats, and cuddles you can give. He forms strong bonds and will be a loyal, loving companion to someone who wants a cat that is always by their side.
More than anything, Diesel is searching for a home where he will be cherished, adored, and never abandoned again. In return, he will give you endless love, companionship, and gratitude every single day.
If you’re looking for a devoted best friend with a huge heart, Diesel is waiting for you

If your application is suitable, we organise a meet and greet. This allows you to spend time with the animal and ensure it’s the right match for both of you.
🐾 3. Video Home Check
A home or property check may be required (in person or via photos/videos). This helps us ensure the environment is safe, secure, and appropriate for the specific animal.
