My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello, my name is Diego, my foster calls me her "hunk of burning love" or "Biscuit Man", I answer to either name. If you pet me I am going to make Biscuits and if you try to ignore me I will wrap myself around your ankels till you finally realize you must pet me. I have not always been this friendly, I was part of a hoarding situation and for months I hid from my foster, then I started peeking out of my hidy-hole, then every so slowly I watched and learned that I needed love and allowed my foster to touch me. It was a very slow process and there is more to tell but I have limited space to tell my story. But now, I help my foster take care of the foster kittens and tell them of my prior existence. I have free rum of the house, I am with the house labs and cats and it is a great life, but, I know there is more out there for a handsome guy like me. I know I could be a great champion for someone, I now know I have a lot to give and also want someone to love me so that I will never be afraid again. If you have space in your heart and home for a guy like me, I sure would love to show you what a wonderful cat I have become. I may be shy at first but my foster tells me I have to give this "new life" a chance, would you be willing to be a part of my "new life"?
