About Leslie

Leslie is a recent graduate of the Fearful Feline Program, now finding comfort in human company after some initial shyness. She’s a young adult, about a year and a quarter old, who does best when given time and a gentle approach—her first greeting might be a tiny hiss, but once she feels safe, she’ll nuzzle your hands and start showing off her softer, social side. Leslie has developed an affectionate personality and will follow you through the house, adding her chirpy meows to the conversation when she’s not curled up in a cozy spot. Her brown and chocolate fur is exceptionally soft and she has a bit of a playful streak once she’s at ease. Leslie will need to be met by appointment in her foster home in Naples, FL—these are typically arranged Tuesday through Sunday, early afternoon. Leslie is spayed and her vaccinations are up to date. Fun fact: with a February 3rd birthday, Leslie is an Aquarius, known for independence and a unique personality. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
