LEO - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Charlotte, North Carolina

Contact my foster at, juiceplusmom@carolina.rr.com Meet Leo (a.k.a. Peekaboo!) Leo is a 12 week old kitten with a huge personality packed into a tiny body. If there were an Olympic sport for peekaboo, Leo would win every gold medal. He loves hiding behind corners, sneaking up on you, and popping out with the cutest little face as if he’s discovered the greatest game ever invented. This little guy is incredibly smart, alert, and always on the move. He doesn’t just run—he gallops through the house like a tiny horse, usually with his signature airplane ears pointed sideways as he zooms from one adventure to the next. Whether he’s chasing a toy, exploring a new corner, or inventing his own games, Leo approaches everything with enthusiasm and confidence. Leo is also wonderfully playful and interactive. He loves wrestling, pouncing, and giving gentle playful nibbles. The sweetest part? He understands boundaries remarkably well for such a young kitten. If his play gets a little too enthusiastic and he realizes it might hurt, he’ll immediately ease up and stop. He’s smart, thoughtful, and eager to connect with his people. Beyond all the zoomies and games, Leo is an incredibly sweet, affectionate little boy. He loves being around people, keeps himself busy with endless entertainment, and fills every room with joy and laughter. He’s the kind of kitten who makes you smile multiple times a day without even trying. Leo is truly the complete package: smart, playful, affectionate, hilarious, and endlessly entertaining. He may have been named Leo, but honestly, “Peekaboo” might have been the more accurate choice.
