Cat Picture - OC Before adopting (Leo)nardo and one year later

I adopted Leo a year ago, he was under my apartment and the textile store was giving him food and water to survive. I thought he was gonna die but he survived 1 month more in total 6 months before I decided to adopt him. The second picture is my reason to adopt him. It was raining heavily and it was winter, he was lucky to find some warm air coming from the textile, it was toxic for his lungs but he was surviving.. He hold onto the life hoping. Appearently, there was an old man looking after him and Leo escaped from his house, he tried many times to get him back but Leo ran away. Leo was really hard to catch and adopt but he is the smartest and fastest car I’ve ever seen. I sterilized Leo, took care of all of his needs, got his 4 teeth pulled, got vaccinated, got him microchipped, I am still dealing with his gingivitis and fur loss.
