Notes from Stray Love Foundation, Inc.

Meet Diesel! Diesel is a handsome 13-year-old chocolate point Siamese with a big voice and an even bigger personality. He was adopted by a family, but after things didn’t work out with their dogs, he came to the sanctuary. Shortly after arriving, we noticed something wasn’t quite right, and Diesel was diagnosed with diabetes. Thanks to quick care and treatment, his glucose levels are now stable and he’s doing great. He currently takes Bexacat, a once-daily pill for diabetes, and happily takes it in a pill pocket with no fuss. He has been absolutely perfect with his medication routine. Diesel is also on a prescription diet to help manage his diabetes and keep him feeling his best.

Diesel is wonderfully vocal and loves to chat, especially when he’s looking for attention. He enjoys being doted on, loves interactive toys and treat puzzles, and is quite the little puzzle master. True to his Siamese nature, Diesel likes affection on his terms and will happily let you know when it’s time for attention.

Diesel needs a very specific home where he can truly thrive. He must be the only animal in the home and is not good with dogs. He is also not a fan of kids and requires an adult-only household. Because he is declawed from a previous home, Diesel must remain strictly indoors and cannot go outside at all. However, he absolutely loves relaxing on a safe, screened-in patio where he can watch the world go by.

If you’re looking for a classic Siamese companion with plenty of personality and conversation to share, Diesel may be your perfect match. He’s ready to find a calm, loving home where he can rule the roost and be someone’s devoted companion.

Please remember: Unless otherwise specified, all our kittens and cats are strictly indoor pets.

If you’re interested in adoption, please visit straylovefoundation.org and complete an adoption application.

Every rescue in our care receives comprehensive vetting, which includes:

A combo test Deworming Spay/neuter procedures Vaccinations Microchipping

We take every possible step to ensure their health and happiness, giving them the best chance at a long, fulfilling life.

While we do everything in our power to provide healthy rescues, it's important to note that some animals may have genetic health conditions we cannot predict (since we don’t have their family history). Additionally, medical tests—though highly reliable—can occasionally yield false negatives. Unexpected health issues may arise, either before or after adoption, but thanks to our thorough vetting process, the likelihood of a long and healthy life is very high.

Additional adoption details:

Transportation fees, if applicable, vary based on distance and expenses. Home checks may be conducted. Our standard tax-deductible adoption donation is $168. For special breeds, uniquely colored, or exceptionally adorable rescues, we may request a higher donation to help cover vet expenses.

Can't adopt? Consider donating, sponsoring, or volunteering! Every form of support makes a difference.
