My name is
Leon!

We adopted Leon from a shelter in 2018. We were told they rescued him from an abusive owner who kept in his crate covered in his own filth. When they retrieved him, he had such bad infections in his paws they ended up amputating a few of his toes. He is a little finicky on where you pet him because of that, but when he has had enough, he does give you warning, so as long as you respect him, he will respect you. He does like cuddling next to you and even on your lap and snuggles at night. He lives in a house with two big dogs, other cats, and a toddler. We have never had an incident between our toddler, even when she was a little baby, but something to be mindful of. He generally leaves the dogs alone, but doesn't mind them when they're calm and lay with us in bed. He does come out and greet our guests when we have company. Generally, a good cat. He does have longer hair and needs professional, sedated grooming if it gets too knotted. He usually gets a lion cut in the spring.
