Diddy - Siamese and Siberian Cat for Adoption in Rochester, Minnesota

Meet Diddy!

Diddy is a handsome Siamese Lynx Point boy with a sweet personality and a very special story. In 2024, Diddy broke his leg, and although he has some residual damage, he certainly doesn't let it slow him down! He still uses that leg and doesn't seem to realize he's technically a three-legged cat.

Diddy is a very skittish and cautious cat, especially when he first meets someone. He needs time, patience, and a safe environment where he can settle in at his own pace. Having places to hide is important to him, and once he gets comfortable and learns to trust you, his loving personality really comes out. He is a genuinely sweet boy who enjoys affection from people he knows.

Diddy would do best in a quiet, understanding home with no small children. Older children and adults would be a better fit. He would also do best either with other friendly cats or in a home where he has plenty of companionship and safe places to retreat. No big dogs. He may be able to live with a small, calm dog, but a dog-free home may be the easiest fit for him.

Because Diddy is so fearful, he has not yet been able to receive all of his vaccinations. A recent attempt at the vet was especially stressful for him, so his future family will need to be patient and work with him gently when veterinary care is needed.

Diddy could be happy as an indoor house cat or even a shop kitty, provided he has a secure environment and plenty of places where he can hide and feel safe. He may take some time to trust you, but once he does, you'll discover what a loving and special guy he really is.
