Animal ID:953344 How this pet arrived: Leo was brought in by his previous owner on May 28, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Leo! In the quiet corners of the shelter, behind a watchful gaze and a twitching tail, resides Leo-a feline with the soul of a noir detective and the attitude to match. He's not here for small talk or sudden moves. He's observing. Assessing. Waiting for the right human to crack the code. Leo doesn't make fast friends. He's more of a "wait in the shadows, judge your character from afar" kind of cat. But don't take it personally-it's just his process. Give him time, patience, and a safe space to settle, and you'll start to earn his trust. Slowly. Like a secret being revealed one page at a time. Touch is a delicate matter with Leo. Get it right, and you're golden. Miss the signs, and he'll let you know (politely, but firmly) that you've crossed the line. He's seeking a cat-savvy human-someone fluent in the subtle language of ear flicks, tail twitches, and "not right now" looks. No forced handling. No nonsense. Due to his sensitive nature, Leo would do best in a home with older kids only-those who understand that real connection isn't rushed. It's earned. Think you've got what it takes to decode Leo? Bring a hard-sided carrier and make your move. But be warned: this isn't your average cuddle-and-go case. This is Leo-and he plays by his own rules.
