Leo's Story

Meet Leo and Maverick!<br/><br/>Leo (Chunky) is more introverted and sensitive, but just as sweet. He is a big and strong baby that follows in Maverick's footsteps and keeps an eye on his brother to make sure he's safe. He doesn't enjoy being picked up but will tolerate it for a minute.<br/><br/>Maverick (Skinny) is extroverted, quick to adapt, very level headed, patient and enjoys being surrounded by people and other animals. He gently encourages being picked up and lets you know when it's time to play. He can be a trouble maker when conditions are right.<br/><br/>The duo would do very well around kids, strangers and other quiet animals. They are litter box trained and do not scratch furniture.<br/><br/>Wet food.... They prefer shreds over pate.<br/><br/>Maverick Loves...<br/>Butt pats<br/>Stealing your attention<br/>Sleeping on warm laundry<br/>Squeezy treats<br/>Welcoming you when you come home<br/>Scratching post<br/>Playing with shoelaces<br/>Catnip toys<br/>Chasing after toys<br/>Using scratching posts<br/><br/><br/>Leo Loves....<br/>Being brushed<br/>Laying in his window hammock<br/>Watching birds<br/>Neck scratches<br/>Using cardboard scratchers<br/>Napping in quiet spots around the house<br/>Keeping an eye on his brother<br/>Being vocal to let you know he's done using the litter box or wants something (can't reach something, etc. ) once comfortable<br/>Wand toys<br/>Plastic Springs<br/><br/>Both of them love...<br/>Being involved<br/>Watching you cook<br/>Watching moving water<br/><br/>Leo and Maverick are both neutered, up-to-date on their FVRCP and Rabies vaccines, and FIV and FeLV negative.<br/><br/>They are currently staying at our Heartland Facility!

Wet food.... They prefer shreds over pate.
