Leo's Info...

Breed: American Shorthair Color: Brown Tabby Age: Adult
Sex: Male Hair: Short
Leo's Story...
Leo is a two and a half year old very affectionate handsome adolescent silver tabby. He's a lover of tummy rubs, treats and feather toys. If you let him in the bed, he'll likely sleep on your pillow with his arms entangled in your hair--bottom line, he loves to love and trusts everyone.


He is at times a cheeky teenager, knocking things off countertops for attention and climbing up onto the tops of kitchen cabinets and refrigerators, but he will listen if you're firm with him.


Having grown up with his (twin?) sister and best friend Pixie, Leo will need a particularly affectionate and attentive new family to ease the sadness of missing his sis. Have a dog? That might be ok--as a small kitten he befriended a dog as a naptime buddy.

Rescue Group Info...

About Our Rescue Group...
North Brooklyn Cats specializes in taking in orphaned "bottle-babies" from other rescues and from the streets of our neighborhood. These tiny kittens require round-the-clock care and often don't do well in a shelter environment. We have many years experience volunteering and working for shelters and rescue organizations in New York City.
Come Meet Our Pets...
We have special adoption events in the neighborhood and also work with other rescue groups, sharing resources whenever possible.
Our Adoption Process...
Cat and kitten adoptions require a $100.00 donation, which helps us cover the costs of delivering them already spayed/neutered, tested for feline AIDS and leukemia, current on vaccines, dewormed and treated for any health problems we were aware of. We generally require that kittens under five months of age be adopted in two's unless you already have another pet. Adoptions require an application that asks for two references and a contract. We deliver your new cat to your home, generally within a few days of getting your application. We are happy to help should you need advice or assistance with your new companion before or after the adoption.
We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
The five boroughs of New York City. In special circumstances, we will consider good homes in surrounding areas.

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Leo, a Brooklyn American Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a American Shorthair cat from a breeder in Brooklyn.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brooklyn breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.
