Leo
Leo is my cat. He is a nice kitty. He is black and tiny, and he is fun to play with. My family adopted Leo from the San Martin Animal Shelter in August. He was 3 months old. They had a lot of kittens when we visited, but Leo was special. He didn’t mind the other cats in the shelter, but he really liked me. I felt special that he chose me. Adopting Leo made me happy because I wanted a friend. My family is new to Morgan Hill, and I didn’t know anyone. It was hard to start a new school. Things are so different here than in Illinois where we used to live. Each day, no matter what kind of day I have at school, Leo is happy to see me. We hug before I do my homework or eat a snack. It makes me laugh when he does somersaults while playing with toys or his tail. Leo is super cuddly and very soft. He likes to watch me do my homework and play Legos.
