Leo found his home and job at the Home Depot store in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, when the staff faced a rodent issue. In an effort to tackle the problem, they decided to adopt Leo from a local shelter, hoping he would lend them a helping paw.
Before long, Leo showcased his dedication as a reliable employee, putting his best efforts into his work. Not only did he excel at catching pesky rodents, but he also took care of them discreetly, sparing both staff and customers from unpleasant sights. Who wouldn’t nominate him for Employee of the Month?
Leo quickly captured the hearts of customers, who often spent more time petting him than shopping for lightbulbs or paint. Many were enchanted by this self-assured feline, not to mention his stylish attire. In fact, some well-intentioned patrons even attempted to remove Leo’s shirt, thinking they were helping him cool off. To prevent any wardrobe malfunctions, a sign was put up: ‘Please do not take Leo’s shirt off.’
