Story
Leo is a handsome 4-year-old boy with a unique little bobtail that gives him an extra dose of charm. With his striking good looks and playful personality, Leo is always ready to turn an ordinary moment into a game. He loves to play, explore, and stay busy, and Churu treats are an instant way to win him over!Leo is a sweet and engaging companion who enjoys attention, but like many energetic cats, he can become overstimulated during petting and may get a little “bitey” when he’s had enough. Because of this, Leo would do best in an adult-only home where his signals will be understood and respected.He gets along well with the other cats in his room and would likely do best in a home with feline friends who can match his playful energy and enjoy interactive playtime as much as he does.And when playtime is over, Leo is happy to settle down and curl up in your lap, looking for pets and comfort from his favorite humans. With the right mix of enrichment, play, and understanding, Leo will make a fun, affectionate companion full of personality.If you’re looking for an active, playful cat with lots of character - and a great snuggle buddy when the day winds down - Leo may be your perfect match. 🐾Leo is part of our Shy Angels Socialization Program and will require a meeting with a Shy Angels team member for final adoption approval.Go to our website, www.hartofme.org, to submit your online application today!***FKA = Formerly Known As

Story
Meet Jilly, a tender-hearted 13-year-old beauty with the softest fur and an even softer soul. She is a gentle, quiet companion who prefers calm, cozy spaces vs a home with bustling activity.A few of Jilly's favorite things include curling up in a sunny window, listening to the world go by and enjoying gentle chin scratches from someone she knows and loves. The Shy Angels team has been working with her, on her shyness, since entering the shelter. One of her favorite new toys is the back scratcher. She will give you nice purrs when scratching the top of her head.Being on the shy, reserved, side she is still learning to trust. She would do best in a quiet home, no children, with a patient person or two who can give her space and let her grow at her own pace.If you are looking for a calm, loving companion who's ready to grow into a wonderful friend, Jilly is the for you.Please fill out an adoption application at hartofme.org to meet Jilly 🐾Jilly is a part of our Shy Angels Socialization Program, and will require a meeting with a Shy Angels team member for final approval of adoption.Go to our website, www.hartofme.org, to submit your online application today!***FKA = Formerly Known As
