Diego is a professional cuddlebug who takes his job very seriously. The moment his foster mom walks into the room, he dramatically flops at her feet, rubs his head against her shoes, and waits... and waits... and if pets are not delivered immediately? He adds the belly. Yes, the belly is presented. Resistance is futile. Diego is a lap enthusiast through and through. The second a lap becomes available, he's already on his way, settling in with a deep, happy purr. He loves being close to his people and brings a calm, cozy energy wherever he goes. He is cautious in new situations; he does need some time to learn that a new person is safe, a little extra time. Once he trusts you, he's all yours! He would be good with older children once he knows them. But don't let the snuggles fool you, Diego also has a playful, athletic side. He loves batting balls across the room, zooming around with toys, and wrestling with other kitties. He especially loves to **jump high** to catch a wand toy midair like a tiny acrobat. Because he's so playful, he would like another younger kitty friend who's ready for daily wrestling matches and zoomie sessions. But if his person has time to play with him, he would also be fine as king of his own castle. Diego is also a smart, attentive little guy. He responds to his person's voice and watches closely, like he's trying to decode every word. He's curious, affectionate, and just an all-around joy to have nearby. If you've got a lap, he's ready to fill it. Diego does have a **sensitive tummy**, so he'll need to stay on a special diet to help him feel his best. He's doing great on it, and as long as he sticks with his tummy-friendly food, he's a happy, playful, snuggly guy. Think of it as a simple recipe for success: good food, cozy lap, unlimited love. If you're looking for a cuddly companion with playful energy and a big personality, Diego is ready to bring the happy vibes home. Email: [adoptions@savedbyzade.com](mailto:adoptions@savedbyzade.com)
