About Leo

Leo is an adult male cat who knows the way to your heart. Just offer your hand, and he’ll push his chin right against it, soaking up affection with his half-closed eyes. With a smooth gray and white coat, complete with a white chin and paws that look like he stumbled through a paintbrush, Leo is striking to look at. He is a friendly companion, always on the lookout for affection rather than waiting for it to come to him. You’ll often find him at the front of his kennel, eager for some petting, ready to be part of your daily life rather than hiding in shady corners. Leo would thrive in a home where he can receive regular attention. He gets along well with other cats, making him a great addition to a multi-pet household. To meet Leo, appointments are preferred. Reach out to the shelter to learn more about setting up a visit. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
