In the shelter’s words

Birthdate: 01/10/2020Breed: One of a kindCheck out my Video: Play like a kingA note from King Leo's foster: If you’re looking for a "work-from-home" partner or a professional napper, Leo is your man. Leo is a relaxed, slow-moving gentleman who believes that life is best enjoyed from the comfort of a plush pillow.Leo’s favorite part of the day is the morning greeting. When he sees you, he’ll wander over for some gentle pets to start the day right. He’s a wonderful communicator, too—if you’re behind a closed door, he’ll give you a polite call to let you know he’d like to come in and keep your feet warm while you work.Leo’s Stats:Energy Level: Expert-level lounge act. He loves playing with a piece of string, provided he can do it while sitting down!Social Life: He is very bonded to his best friend, Cosette, and would love to find a home that has room for both of them.Health: Leo takes a daily pill to stay feeling his best, but he’s a total champ about it and takes his medicine easily.Leo doesn’t need a fast-paced life; he just needs a cozy pillow, a string to bat at, and a human to love. Could that be you?More about King Leo: King Leo isn’t just a cat—he’s a full-blown personality wrapped in a sleek tuxedo coat, complete with adorably scrunched ears and a royal attitude. His favorite pastimes include holding court from his plush cat bed, gracefully chasing wand toys like they owe him money, and accepting pets (on his terms, of course). He’s also a fan of deep, meaningful conversations—though he reserves the right to walk away mid-topic.Now, let’s talk about the royal spice: Yes, King Leo has a mischievous side. A playful swat, love bite, or sudden dash of attitude isn’t unusual—but it’s never personal. He simply has boundaries and isn’t shy about enforcing them. Think of him as your charming, moody roommate who happens to be covered in fur and absolutely adorable. If you respect his space, serve him with dignity, and laugh at his antics (which you will), King Leo will grant you the privilege of his quirky, charming company. Long may he reign… preferably from a sun-drenched window seat.Cosette and King Leo are a bonded pair and must go home together. The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets!
