Support Leo's Long Road to Recovery

Meet Leo – A True Survivor with a Heart of Gold

Leo is a one-year-old cat with the soul of a lion and the heart of a hero. Once a beloved and friendly community cat, Leo endured unimaginable cruelty — he was intentionally abused, suffering burns over a third of his body. Despite the pain and betrayal he faced, Leo’s gentle spirit never faded.

A kind-hearted Good Samaritan found Leo in desperate need of help and contacted Nashville Cat Rescue, who stepped in without hesitation. Thanks to their swift response and the compassion of the person who rescued him, Leo is now safe, receiving medical care, and healing in a loving foster home.

Leo is FIV+, which simply means his immune system needs a little extra care — but he can live a long, happy life just like any other cat. His sweet nature and resilience shine through every day as he continues to recover. He purrs, he snuggles, and he still believes in love.

Leo will be available for adoption once he’s fully healed, and he’s looking for a forever home that will show him the kindness he’s always deserved.
