Leon, a handsome stray cat in Brazil, was out in a storm and decided to seek shelter at the OAB building (which is equivalent to the American Bar Association).

Congrats Leon!

    "We are finalizing the documents to launch an animal rights institute. It's called Instituto Dr. Leon. Unfortunately, we cannot house all [the animals], so we will fund the NGOs in town. We will be an example for Brazil [to follow]."

    "Today, he is very dear to everyone. Even those didn't like him got used to his presence and have fun with him. His favorite place is President Auriney's sofa; he loves to play with his toys," Dr Leon explained.
