Hi,
Diego is a 2.5 year old F2 Savannah male. He was surrendered for inappropriate peeing and difficult behavior. We learned that he had not been neutered, and therefore we were pretty sure that was the cause of the problems. So the foster home immediately scheduled his neuter, where his vaccinations were also updated, he was tested negative for FeLV/FIV and microchipped.
Pictures of Diego may be seen in the Photos section of this Group, the folder is named Diego-F2-VA and the link to this is:
Diego has been perfect with his litterbox and has not peed inappropriately once. He has adapted well to his foster mom and is very affectionate with her, he has been tolerant of her young child but we feel sure that he would do better in a home where any children were not too young. He is a large cat and could be intimidating to a small child not used to early generation Savannahs.
Diego grew up in a household without any other pets, so he would be fine going to a home without other pets. He tolerates the dogs at the foster home, which are very used to cats and therefore have not challenged him in any way. He is very interested in other cats but has not had happy interactions with all. He would do better with tolerant kitty personalities, as he reacts defensively to any signs of aggression.
At this time, we would prefer not to ship Diego and are interested in potential adoptive homes that could drive to Richmond, VA to pick Diego up. The adoption fee for Diego is $400 which will not even cover the vet bills.
Please email info@... if you are interested in offering Diego a home and feel that your home would be suitable for him. Include a description of your home and why Diego would be a good fit.
Thanks,
Brigitte
