About Cleopatra

Cleopatra (also known as Leo) is a striking adult cat with vivid green eyes, a strong sense of independence, and a soft spot for chin scratches. She gravitates toward quiet companionship, happily curling up next to you or settling into your lap for a nap. Call her name and she’ll often come trotting over, making it easy to tell she recognizes her people. Cleopatra’s not interested in a raucous household. Loud noises and the unpredictable energy of young kids stress her out, so she’s best in a calm, adult-only home where her boundaries are respected. She enjoys lounging in her cat tree and shows flashes of playfulness—especially if you break out a laser or a feather toy. While she’s open to curiosity around other cats, she’s truly happiest as a solo feline. Cleopatra welcomes gentle grooming and even the occasional bath, and there’s no denying her catnip obsession. She’s a beautiful cat with a keen need for space and affection on her own terms. She’ll thrive most with an understanding adopter who’ll give her a peaceful, loving home.
