Meet Leo

Hi! I'm Leo, an orange tabby with a cute wrinkled whisker and a ton of love to give. I was found in Lathrop as a stray, but luckily, I was taken care of by some really nice people. Since I'm so loving, charming, and gentle, they asked Give Me Shelter to find a forever home.I can be a little shy at first in a new environment and may hiss at you a bit from my cat cave, but don't mind me because I don't mean it! Once I realized that my foster parents are here to help me, it didn't take long for me to turn into an orange purr machine. My foster dad says that I purr so loud he can feel my entire body vibrate. Once I'm more comfortable with you and the environment, I'll run to you for pets and even explore new areas of the home. If you hit the right spot under my chin, I might even start drooling. I let my foster parents know I'm happy by rubbing against them and showing them how fluffy my belly can be.I enjoy food, but what I enjoy even more is a string toy. I could spend the entire day chasing after a string toy. I'm really good at catching the string toy and playing a little tug of war with you. Once I win the tug of war (as I always do), I'll bring the string toy back to my safe space to make sure it doesn't escape from me.I have a foster brother at my current foster home, and I have to tell you that I'm an amazing little brother! I'm never aggressive with my foster brother, and I'm always available for a little wrestling when he challenges me. He helps me explore new areas of the home, and we chase each other around for fun up and down the stairs.I'm looking for a quiet home with parents who will help me come out of my shell, and it's a bonus if there's another kitty friend for me to play with. It might take a little work, but trust me, my purrs and loving personality will melt your heart.You can see more of me on Instagram @natti.to.

Adoption Process
All of our adopters are required to fill out an online application. Once we review the application, we contact the applicant to do a phone interview, and a zoom call to meet and learn more about the cat with the foster parent to determine if it's a good fit for everyone. Then the potential adopter can meet the cat in person and take them home if approved through this process. We have them sign an adoption agreement and pay $150 adoption fee.
