About Leo

Leo is a young orange and white cat with a huge personality and a knack for survival. After being left at a gas station and surviving within a feral cat colony, he’s managed to retain a kind heart and is ready for a real home. Leo’s playful, chatty, and food-loving, especially when Temptations treats are involved—he’ll keep you company and let you know what’s on his mind through plenty of meowing. He’s litter box trained, polite indoors, and prefers to use cardboard scratchers for his claws. Leo is FIV positive, though this doesn’t hold him back from enjoying a healthy life when provided regular veterinary care. He can’t live with other cats and does best as the only cat, but he’s shown he can adapt to calm, dog-experienced homes if introductions are patient and slow. A quiet household without kids will let Leo feel safe, and his adopter needs to understand he’ll take some time to relax fully. But once he trusts you, you’ll get to see his affectionate, bright, and talkative side come out in full. He’s waiting for someone who can offer patience, understanding, and a soft spot in their home. Ready to help him start over? Leo will pay you back in affection and plenty of good company. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
