♪♫ Glad, glad Leroy Brown. The gladdest man in the whole darn town. ♪♫ Don’t let this face fool you. Leroy Brown is one of the happiest cats at the Palmetto Animal League Adoption Center! This 7-year-old boy loves other cats (especially kittens) and kicks his leg like a dog when you pet him. Unfortunately, Leroy hasn’t always felt this relaxed.
“Leroy probably started life as a beloved pet but lost his way,” explains PAL President Amy Campanini. “Cats like Leroy are so resilient and have a strong will to survive. They find themselves walking the neighborhoods, local businesses and anywhere they can scrounge up a meal.”
Leroy was living around town as a friendly stray, big cheeks and all, when one day, a community cat caretaker found him in bad shape. He was brought to PAL so we could treat his wounds, and that’s when we discovered what a sweetheart of a cat he is!
“Leroy is quite fond of the domestic life,” says Campanini. “He would love to find a home with a porch where he can lay in the sun all day.”
The PAL Adoption Center, tucked away in Okatie’s Riverwalk Business Park, serves as a security blanket for poor, lost souls like Leroy who can’t seem to find their way “home.” And while we give them compassionate care, they know a shelter is not a real home.
“A safe cozy home with lots of his favorite treats is what Leroy deserves,” says Campanini.
