DIEGO

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

My name is Diego, and I'm about 3 or 4 years old. My life has been very hard. I was found in a parking lot, malnourished and dehydrated. I only wanted to die, because living on the street is very hard and difficult, but I was rescued, and I put on weight. I am extremely frightened because of earlier trauma; I almost always get scared, but every now and then, if it's done with affection, I let myself be pampered. I need feline companionship; I get along wonderfully with my foster brother Ares. We adore each other!

About DIEGO

What life with DIEGO looks like

DIEGO is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at SOS BDN in Spain.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras often include sterilization, vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport in the adoption fee, but this varies, so confirm with the shelter. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting DIEGO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about DIEGO?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. SOS BDN handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw DIEGO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt DIEGO if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SOS BDN whether they will for DIEGO, what they require (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 DIEGO already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for DIEGO. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SOS BDN, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if DIEGO isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SOS BDN about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know DIEGO 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 (ES). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
