About Leo
Every parent knows the moment a boy switches from snuggling to showing off ninja moves and mysterious slang, and Leo channels that same energy. At just over a year old, Leo’s left the baby stage and is pure motion—zooming around, wrestling with toys, showing off more elbows than manners, and eager for new experiences. He isn’t interested in cohabiting with other cats or dogs, but he’s been great with kids and is always aiming to do his best. Leo’s had to bounce through a lot of changes in his short life and he's still figuring out where he truly belongs. He needs someone patient—someone who can gently show him that hands are for petting, not for play, and who will keep a stash of kicker toys handy for those wild outbursts. Despite his rough-and-tumble phase, Leo’s core is all sweetness and a yearning to feel safe and loved again. He’s looking for a steady home with someone who understands this stage and is willing to commit to the affection, consistency, and gentleness he craves. Leo is in East Hartford, CT, and ready for a new chapter with the right person. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
