Leo! He loves to be a lap cat!!! He's the best little lap kitty! Immediately he purrs and is so comforting when he sits on my lap. He LOVES his "lovies and asks for it several times a day! He has a crackly little voice when he asks. Basically I scoop him in my arms and hold him like a baby and he puts his paws on my face and stares deeply into my eye, purring and slow blinking. We play a game where I try to kiss him and he pushes me away . He also loves temptations and he is starting to like belly rubs.
Leo dislikes anything not on his terms. He has a bit of anxiety and if he doesn't initiate something then he will be nervous. Other cats make him nervous and upset although he has learned to tolerate my crew. He will often claim my lap and then another cat will come along and try to lay with us but he hates it. He will get up and leave every time. He can be fussy and if provoked, he will lash out and swat. Usually he gives really good warning signals prior to it. Only once did he smack me in the face which took me by surprise. It's possible with him though. He's a bit unpredictable about what mood he will be in. Mostly he is good and his outbursts have been fewer and fewer.

More about this rescue
In the last 12 months The Cat's Voice West Virginia (TCVWV) has taken in 473 cats and kittens through rescue, TNR, owner surrender and rescue/transfer. We have successfully adopted out 307 of these animals and have built a network of animal rescues, veterinarians, and fosters with the common goal of reducing cat overpopulation and finding loving homes for cats in Eastern West Virginia.
The Cat's Voice WV is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to controlling the overpopulation of cats in the Eastern Panhandle of WV through Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) programs, and rescuing abandoned, homeless, and helpless cats. ALL animals adopted by and in TCVWV are spayed or neutered and given all necessary medical care.
The Cat’s Voice WV, Inc. was created by experienced animal rescuers in December 2019 after they saw an immediate need for assistance with the overpopulation of cats in rural eastern West Virginia. In this rural region cat rescues must step up so many senior, ill, pregnant and unwanted cats are not euthanized. We are an all-volunteer and foster-based organization that runs exclusively on donations from our local community, fundraising and grants.
The goals of The Cat’s Voice WV are two-fold: the intake and adoption of cats from community members who have found strays or who are in need of rehoming due to illness, death, or change of lifestyle (moving, pregnancy, age, financial crisis, etc.) and to support local TNR efforts to care for and sustain current feral cat colonies.
In 2021 TCVWV was awarded grants for TNR and spay/neuter from the Bissell Pet Foundation, The Two Mauds Foundation, Walmart Community Grants, and the West Virginia Spay and Neuter Program. These funds are helping us to remedy the serious pet overpopulation crisis in West Virginia.
There are no no-kill shelters, no food pantries and very few opportunities for low cost spay/neuter or low-cost veterinary care in Eastern West Virginia. Every animal rescue in this area has been overwhelmed with veterinary medical bills, food bills, and the burden of serious sickness and death among our cats.
TCVWV envisions a “Country Roads” care program to allow us to care for more unwanted animals and develop a network of organizations and people to promote spay/neuter efforts. With additional funds we could:
• Cover emergency veterinary medical costs for adult and senior pets
• Expand the network of and among local animal rescue groups
• Facilitate spay/neuter services especially for low-income West Virginians
• Support transport of animals to medical appointments and adoption events
• Establish a pet food pantry to support local rescues and pet owners in need
We have an active fundraising program and host many events to raise funds and promote our adoptable cats, but resources are never enough to meet our needs.
