SAFE 3/30/18 Leon is a gorgeous grey boy who came to ACC after being found on the street trying to push his way into a building. During his time at the care center he has been very tense and timid. He would benefit from a quiet home that will allow him the time to warm up at his own pace.

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Leon tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home who understands this cat may need time to warm up to his new home and family at his own pace.
