About Diomedes

Meet Diomedes! ⚔️ Named after a legendary Greek warrior, Diomedes is better known around here for his charming tomcat cheeks and his knack for winning hearts. Just look at that adorable face! Diomedes is a sweet and friendly cat who enjoys attention, but, like any good king, he appreciates affection on his own terms. He loves being petted and can be picked up, but likes to dictate when cuddle time happens. He'd thrive in a home where he can roam outside or lounge in the sun, investigating his kingdom before coming back inside for some love. At about 3.5 to 4 years old, Diomedes will be neutered this week, making him ready to find his forever home. If you're drawn to cats with big personalities and the perfect blend of independence and sweetness, Diomedes might be your match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
