Get to Know Leonardo

As a kitten, Leonardo was scooped up into a home quickly. He loved all the benefits of a chill life as a beloved pet. When his family’s lifestyle changed, leading to less time to care for him, he returned to us, but this time, he was feeling overwhelmed by reentering shelter life. After all, Leonardo now knows what he’s missing: peace, quiet, consistency, a loving family. A quiet space with humans he’s grown to trust has replenished his optimism with enthusiasm for the finer things in life: feathers to chase, catnip to roll in, laps to plop in for visits. We’ve promised him a fresh start, and now that our vets have put together a plan for his Feline Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), he’s enjoying the best health he’s experienced in a long time. His delicious meals and treats are covered at cost through our Pet Health Centers as is any other expense relating to FLUTD throughout his long happy new life. His next family can focus on restoring his confidence by offering him a comfortable place to land, reassuring head rubs, and a commitment to love him furever.

Next Steps for Leonardo

High-Quality Medical Care

For the first 15 days following your adoption, we care for an adopted animals in our medical center. An adoption counselor will provide any adopter with specific details on what medical services are covered. After this period, adopters can transition to our Pet Health Center where our high-quality veterinary care continues.

We offer low-cost, high-quality veterinary care to all dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens—including pets not adopted here. Our quality veterinarian team provides all the services you would expect from a private veterinary practice, and when you visit our Pet Health Center, not only do you receive low-cost pet care, but proceeds help support our mission to save lives.
