Leo is a gorgeous, big-hearted boy with an incredibly affectionate nature and a story that will tug at your heartstrings. 🧡
This sweet gentleman was surrendered to a veterinary clinic to be euthanised after his previous owner developed allergies. Thankfully, the wonderful veterinary team recognised that Leo deserved a second chance. Now this beautiful boy is safe in our care and searching for a forever family who will cherish him.
Despite everything he's been through, Leo remains an absolute love bug. He adores human companionship and is happiest when he's close to his favourite people. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or enjoying a quiet afternoon, Leo will happily settle on you for cuddles and soak up all the affection he can get.
At 8.5kg, Leo is quite the handsome chonky boy! He does need to continue his weight loss journey to help him stay healthy, but don't let his size fool you. He's surprisingly agile and gets around beautifully for a boy of his stature.
Leo has previously lived with both another cat and a dog, making him a wonderful option for a family with existing furry companions. With his gentle, affectionate personality and love for cuddles, he has so much to offer his future family.

Adoption details
Adopting with Kittie Kat Rescue Inc.
Bringing a new pet into your home is a long-term commitment—both emotionally and financially. Cats can live 15 to 20 years, so it's essential that all family members are prepared to provide love, shelter, and a safe environment for their lifetime. This includes premium nutrition, regular veterinary care, and ensuring they are kept strictly indoors or have access to a secure, cat-proof outdoor enclosure.
Our Adoption Process
Initial Contact & Questionnaire: We’ll start by sending you our adoption questionnaire via email or text message to help us understand your home environment and match you with the right feline companion.
Video Tour: We require a video tour of your home to inspect key safety features, including secure screens on windows, doors, and balconies, and to see where your new kitty will settle in!
Meet & Greet: Once your application is approved, we’ll arrange a time for you to meet the cat with their foster carer.
Adoption & Bringing Your Cat Home: If your application is approved and the cat has completed their vet work, they can go home with you straight after the meet and greet (adoption and admin fees are payable at this time).
Settling-In Period & Communication: Every adoption includes a 14-day settling-in period. We stay in touch during this time (preferably via WhatsApp) to support your cat's transition into your home.
Adoption Fees & Registration
Kittens: $350
Cats (1–3 Years): $275
Cats (3+ Years): $200
All adoptions carry a mandatory lifetime registration/admin fee of $62 on top of the adoption price to ensure your cat is officially registered in accordance with local council requirements.
