Hello, I'm Lionel

Bo is a great combination of active and playful/sweet and cuddly. He's about one year old, so still has some leftover kitten spirit-- particularly when it comes to playing with his wand toys, rattle mice, and a laser pointer. He also makes sure we are safe from his "#1 enemy" in the house... toilet paper. 

Lionel's Story

We love love love our "foster fail"! While he was known as Lionel at PAWS, we decided to change his name to Bo. While I have had cats before Jason is a first-time cat owner and was apprehensive about taking on a cat at first, but is now completely in love with Bo; on his recent birthday said that bringing home Bo was the highlight of this past year. 
Bo is a great combination of active and playful/sweet and cuddly.

He also makes sure we are safe from his "#1 enemy" in the house... toilet paper. (Anyone who invents a completely cat-proof toilet paper holder will be his worst enemy/our best friend). But, in addition to being a silly kitten at heart, he also loves to cuddle and nap! He is especially fond of sleeping in his "Inbox", a little box we made for him to sit in on our desk where he loves to nap when one of us works on the computer. 
We love Bo so much-- when we signed up to foster we thought it would be a temporary way to give a cat a break and to see how we adjusted to having a cat in our home, but after Bo pranced right out of his carrier and found a favorite chair in our living room, we knew he was part of our family. We are so thankful to PAWS for helping him off of the streets as a stray and keeping him safe and healthy until we were able to meet and fall in love with him.
