My story

BORN DIPLOMAT  DOB 1/1/21, weight 13# Hey there, everyone! I’m Leo, and I’m a sweet, talkative, and playful mitted red tabby fella who loves to chat with Foster Meowmy about how her day has been. I recently overheard her tell someone, “Leo is the bestest because he’s so full of energy AND love.” My easygoing disposition means that I’m very patient as I wait for her to give me some stimulating scratches on my chin, cheeks, and ears. It’s worth my wait because I go crazy with my acrobatic flips when she waves the wand-toy over my head. I’m used to entertaining myself by batting around pompoms or catnip mice to show off my skills as a soccer striker until it’s my turn for Foster Meowmy to focus her attention on me. I showed up as a friendly stray at Foster Meowmy’s community-cat feeding station. The old-timers resented my arrival, and they took advantage of my easygoing nature by bullying and attacking me at every opportunity. I’d been happy outdoors, but I admit that I was relieved when Foster Meowmy ushered me into the safe haven of her home. Although I don’t have to fight for food any more, now I’m tiptoeing on eggshells when I’m around the resident indoor cats. I’m usually in a room to myself where I stay busy watching the birds and squirrels fly and scamper by the window. However, I love to explore outside my bachelor quarters, which means that I will encounter my feline housemates. I do try to get to know them in a non-challenging way, but I understand their boundaries and behave submissively when they don’t want to engage with me. Alas, why do other cats always have to be so grouchy and territorial when I’m really no threat? Ah, well. Now I’m ready to bring my loving and playful temperament to my new family. Could that be with you? If you’re looking for an easygoing yet energetic 13-pound red-tabby Gentle Giant, I certainly would be happy to fill the bill. Who knows -- maybe a chatty-cat is just what you need “to take the bite out of being alone,” as a Dr. Camuti once said. Arrange to meet me today! HOPE ID 25-0419-C029 If you are interested in Leo and would like to fill out an online Cat Adoption Application, please go to http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/cat-adoption.php . Submitting an application does not obligate you to adopt, but it initiates contact with us and gets the process started.  If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site this feline will be this week-end, email us at hope@homelesspets.net , and a volunteer will get back to you.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Leo #check-meowt, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
