Leoncito - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in New York, New York

Originally a TNR candidate, we did intake to treat him for a URI and learned he was quite a friendly boy! Though at first he was a little shy, by the end of his medical regimen he was super friendly and happy to be living warm and indoors. Little Leoncito will not be going back outside!


Leoncito is a very sweet, gentle boy whos clearly been through a lot. He can be a bit shy at first and doesnt love loud noises, but in a calm, quiet space he really starts to relax. Once he feels safe, he becomes incredibly affectionate and attachedhell follow you around like a little shadow, always wanting to be near you. He loves curling up next to you and just quietly keeping you company. Hes a little clingy in the sweetest way, very cuddly, and has such a calm, polite presence. Truly a little gentleman who just needs patience, softness, and a peaceful home to fully come out of his shell.

He is fully medically cleared, up to date with vaccinated, and neutered.

Leoncito loves having feline friends and would thrive in a home with another kitten or playful young adult!
