Natalie was the first kitty rescued from junkyard in SJ in late May 04. She was only a few weeks old at time of rescue, when we heard a kitten cry coming from an abandoned and window-less old vintage car at the junkyard. We looked in and saw Natalie alone and crying in the front seat in front of the steering wheel. We scooped her up and brought her to foster mom Emily right away. Emily bottle fed Natalie back ot health, and decided to keep Natalie as her own kitty.

We later found out that the abandoned car Natalie was "driving" contained a rare and very old engine worth $5000.00.

His foster mom, Nicole, decided to keep this gentle giant who now enjoys life indoors with her two other cats. Leo is the welcoming committee for the dozens of rescued adults cats and kittens who make their way through their home. He's always friendly and loves to gently play with the foster kittens. He also reassures the many trapped feral who pass through to let them know that they will be helped when he lies beside their traps at night before they head in to the vet or when they return from surgery. Leo is truly an inspirational success story!
