Leonor (formerly Nicole)
When I adopted Victor back in December, I thought I had adopted the snuggliest cat ever, but then came Leonor! She is baby, and loves to be held and carried around, especially on my shoulders! When I’m walking and we make eye contact, she comes to me and stands with her paws on my legs, politely suggesting that I pick her up. Once she’s up, she meows and looks around to see what other taller surfaces could she possibly reach. She loves heights! I first noticed this at the shelter when she almost slipped out of my hands because she wanted to climb the top of her kennel, and since she’s been home she’s reached great heights – including climbing the top shelf of my closet, and climbing to the top of my canopy bed. Back on the ground though, she’ll often sit on my lap and will just melt into my arms like a baby.
Shortly after adopting Victor, I knew I wanted to adopt a friend for him. I started with a slow introduction, but they were both eager to meet each other and within a few days they were hanging out and co-existing peacefully! They are both just so gregarious and compatible with each other! Now that it’s been warm, they’ve really been enjoying hanging out by the open windows and patio door. At night, they both sleep with me, and Victor likes to lay his head on my leg while Leonor likes to sleep on top of my actual head, which is the cutest thing ever! I’m a very happy cat lady, thank you Feline Rescue for giving me these angels ❤️
