Meet Leo - a cat with character, charm, and just the right amount of sass!
Leo is a handsome black and white gentleman who has been in and out of the shelter over the years, and he is ready to find a forever home. His last home, while loving, just wasn't the right fit-through no fault of his previous owners. Leo simply knows what he likes, and he is not afraid to be choosy when it comes to his people. This quirky fellow would thrive in a calm, quiet home without children.
Once Leo feels safe and comfortable, he can be very sweet and affectionate. But he also has a sassy side and doesn't always give the clearest cues when he has had enough attention. He is looking for someone who can respect his boundaries, enjoy his quirks, and love him for who he is.
Leo is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. If you are someone who appreciates a cat with personality and you are ready for a feline who keeps you guessing, Leo might just be the perfect match.
For more information or to meet Leo, please contact the Clarington Animal Shelter.
