Story
Cleo was abandoned in an eviction and is being fostered in a home until her new forever home comes along. She is one year old and spayed. Shes petite and doesnt shed much. One unique and fun thing about Cleo is she sees screens and goes wild for bird videos for cats. Cleo is a great companion who will follow you around and snuggle up beside you. She has a ferocious purr. She gets along with other cats. She even won over a grumpy cat I fostered. She has lived with dogs and kids, but I have no other info. She is still in her lively teens and loves to play. If you have other cats, she will try to play with them. Shes getting better at self play and likes catnip-stuffed or sprayed toys. She LOVES chasing a string toy. Cleo is strictly an indoor cat. Shes been very easy to care for, not fussy about food and uses the litter box. She uses a scratching post and loves her cat tree, which youre welcome to bring to her new home. No fee, but a home visit preferred before adoption.
