Leopold - Domestic Long Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Leopold is a handsome senior orange-and-white gentleman with a resilient spirit and plenty of charm. Found as a stray in rough shape and severely matted, he's currently sporting an adorable lion cut while his fur grows back in. He also has a unique eye with very little iris, though it doesn't slow him down at all. Leopold prefers to be the only cat in the home, which is ideal since he is FeLV positive—a feline retrovirus that weakens the immune system. After who knows how long on his own, Leopold is ready for a calm, loving home where he can finally relax and be spoiled.
