**Please find it in your heart to adopt a senior kitty today. It feels really good knowing you gave an older pet a home for the rest of their life. Bless those who adopt a senior pet.**



Diamond ... Domestic shorthair, gray tabby female; at 17 years old as of Feb. 2020.

UPDATE: Diamond does have litterbox issues and when outside of her cage, will not seek out a litterbox. She uses her box if caged only. She is let out for 8 hours daily in a special area of the house, but is caged nightly. It will take a special person to adopt Diamond, but if you are that special one, she will give you lots of love.


Diamond was recently rescued by WPR when found abandoned in a Waterloo, Iowa home, along with some other kitty companions.

Diamond is a sweet, petite little girl who is somewhat scared right now. But she is super sweet and we have no doubt she will be a great companion for that special someone who chooses to adopt her, once she gets to know them! She prefers not to be around other cats. We have no idea about dogs or children.

Diamond is fully vetted, been brought up to date on vaccinations, and tested negative for FeLK/FIV.

3/13/13 UPDATE: Diamond hides (boy! Is she s tiny thing!!) but I draw her out and try to hold her a few times daily. For someone that wants an adult cat that won't cause the antics a kitten would, she'll be ideal. Her size makes her look like she's only 4 or 5 months old. She'll be forever kitten size. This, of course, melts one's heart.

3/25/13 UPDATE: Diamond is doing wonderfully! She comes out & joins us in the rest of the house. At night she makes herself comfy in my lap. She's so tiny she that sometimes she sleeps on just one leg! Are you sure she's a Senior cat? She has energy, this little one! She loves chasing little balls around. It's like watching a kitten at play without having all the mischievous antics to cope with. She will hiss/cry out at my cats if they follow her too closely but she only verbally challenges. They wind up sharing the bed, but she does manage to get my female to back down. I'd label her a compatible dominant. She's a claw sharpener. I have a scratching post for her which I'd recommend for any potential adoptive family to purchase. She doesn't pull at carpet or furniture, but without a post to scratch, she'll use my door frame.

Will someone please adopt Diamond and give her a forever home? $50 senior adoption fee.


WE ARE A NO-KILL 501-C-3 NON-PROFIT RESCUE. All donations are tax deductible. We do not have a shelter. All pets live in foster homes. We only adopt to indoor homes. To see an animal, you must fill out an application first and then once approved, we can set up for you to meet the animal you are interested in. We do background checks on all applicants. If you have assault, domestic abuse, or drug charges please do not apply. If you have questions, please send an email to waverlypetrescue@mchsi.com

All animals see a vet for shots and normal exams. If they appear healthy and there are no obvious health concerns, then extensive testing is not done. This is normal procedure for pet rescues and shelters.
Waverly Pet Rescue puts a lot of money into medical care for each dog and cat we take in. $200 is the average cost for basic care. This does not include if the animal had an injury, required extra flea / ear mite treatments, or needed extra days at the vet office.
