My name is Leo!

This is Leo. He is a sweet cat, and is rather timid and shy. He would do best in a quiet home where he can hide, and come out to explore on his own terms. He has thick fur, that mats easily, and needs a patient owner that can work with him to get him comfortable with brushing. I inherited him from a family member that has passed away. My family member, that owned him, had rescued him from another home where it was suspected that he was mistreated as a kitten. I do not have the time or ability to keep him, and have too many pets of my own. He is very sweet and seems to be in good health. Estimated to be around 10-12 years old. Please help us find Leo a good home! He is currently living outside in our barn until he can find a home. He can be adopted alone, or with his friend Jinx (also listed on adopt a pet).
