Diamond

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

This little stunner arrived in our care after her human companions were no longer able to care for her. Diamond is a sweet kitty who has found life in the cattery a little tough. Our cattery team have worked really hard to ensure she has everything she needs to make her feel at ease, and it’s safe to say she's starting to feel settled now. When you first go into her room, she will be hidden in her little hide bed. She will poke her head out to see what treats are on offer, and if you put your hand out, she will gently rub her head on your hand. Then, before you know it, she's out in the room looking for attention. Diamond will need a patient human who understands moving home can be stressful, especially for a kitty! Its important to stress that having been so much she will be at her most stressed point so her human companions must be prepared to give her the time she needs to settle. Diamond has been returned to our care for aggression. She can be challenging to read, as she can come across as very confident, but she really isn't with change. We know that moving her to a new home will be stressful. Her new adopter must be willing to follow our guidance to help her settle into the home. This will include: • Multiple visits to meet her at the sanctuary • Access to one room only for 2 weeks • Taking the hands-off approach and not flooding her with attention • Experience with cats • Support from our external behaviourist if needed

About Diamond

What life with Diamond looks like

Diamond is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Diamond, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Diamond?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Diamond on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Diamond if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Diamond already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Diamond isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Diamond and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
