Diamond

Mixed Breed · Male

Diamond is an estimated 5-year-old, completely black male. This population-based male is unobtrusive, quiet, and a bit of a timid, and it seems he has seen all sorts of things in his life. Diamond is shy, but not reactive - handling is possible without major fuss if necessary. He hides when people are around, avoids, may hiss a bit, but usually just moves to a new hiding place if the caregiver hasn't understood to leave. Mr. Diamond usually appears at mealtimes only after the person has left. Diamond has been seen moving most when a person is not in the same room, otherwise he waits in his own place, preferably in a high nest or other hiding place. He also likes to seek high places like shelves or cabinets, where he has a good view of the surroundings but can also hide himself if he wants to. He is used to other cats and needs a cat to seek safety and company if he wants. Diamond has very sympathetic-looking face - the ear tips are blunt, probably due to frostbite, and the cat's right eye has an old injury. Fortunately, the eye is not blind and has not required follow-up treatment, but it looks a bit more glassy than the healthy eye. He also has a few teeth that need to be monitored for decay changes. Diamond is also FIV-positive, which is why he can only be adopted with another FIV cat. It would be important for all home candidates to familiarize themselves with the risks of the immunodeficiency virus in advance. An FIV cat can live a normal, good and long life with good care and attention to the cat's basic and health needs. If you have a safe and loving home to offer Diamond, fill out the adoption application carefully. We will process and respond only to carefully completed applications.

FI·Show original

Diamond on arviolta 5-vuotias, kokomusta poika. Populaatiotaustainen kolli on olemukseltaan huomaamaton, hiljainen vähän ressukkakin, ja vaikuttaa nähneensä elämänsä aikana kaikenmoista. Diamond on arka, mutta ei ole reaktiivinen – käsittely on tarvittaessa onnistunut ilman isompia kähinöitä. Hän kyhjöttää piilossa ihmisten läsnäollessa, väistää, saattaa vähän sähistäkin, mutta yleensä siirtyy vain uuteen piiloon jos hoitaja ei ole ymmärtänyt itse lähteä. Ruokailemaan herra ilmaantuu yleensä vasta ihmisen poistuttua. Diamond onkin nähty liikkumassa eniten silloin, kun ihminen ei ole samassa huoneessa, muutoin hän odottaa omalla paikallaan, mieluiten jossain korkealla olevassa pesässä tai muussa piilossa. Hän hakeutuukin hyvin mielellään korkeisiin paikkoihin kuten hyllyjen tai kaappien päälle, josta on hyvä näkymä ympäristöön mutta joissa pääsee myös itse piiloutumaan halutessaan. Hän on tottunut toisiin kissoihin ja tarvitseekin seurakseen kissan, josta voi halutessaan hakea turvaa ja seuraa. Diamondilla on hyvin sympatiaa herättävät kasvot – korvankärjet ovat tylpät, todennäköisesti paleltuman takia ja kissan oikeassa silmässä on vanha vamma. Silmä ei onneksi kuitenkaan ole sokea eikä ole tarvinnut jatko-hoitoja, mutta näyttää vähän tervettä silmää lasittuneemmalta. Hänellä on myös muutama hammas, joita on tarkkailtava syöpymämuutosten vuoksi. Diamond on myös FiV-positiivinen, jonka takia hänet voidaan luovuttaa vain toisen Fiv-kissan kaveriksi. Immuunikatoviruksen riskeihin tutustuminen etukäteen olisi tärkeää kaikilta kotiehdokkailta. Fiv-kissa voi elää hyvin hoidettuna normaalin, hyvän ja pitkänkin elämän kun huolehditaan kissan perus- ja terveydellisistä tarpeista. Jos sinulla olisi tarjota Diamondille turvallinen ja rakastava koti, täytä adoptiohakemus huolellisesti. Käsittelemme ja vastaamme vain huolellisesti täytettyihin hakemuksiin.

About Diamond

What life with Diamond looks like

Diamond is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kissojen Katastrofiyhdistys KKY ry in Tampere.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇫🇮Adopting from Finland

Finnish shelters require a home visit and an adoption contract. Animals are vetted; the EU pet passport covers cross-border travel within the bloc.

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. Kissojen Katastrofiyhdistys KKY ry 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 — Kissojen Katastrofiyhdistys KKY ry 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Kissojen Katastrofiyhdistys KKY ry 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 (FI). 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.
