Thank you for submitting your question regarding Leo. It should be fine to take him to a home with cats. You will just need to supervise him closely. At his age, he will not have any impulse control and may play too roughly or chase the cats. It would also be best to ask permission to bring him. Some people will not want a puppy that is not fully potty trained yet. From a health stand point, it is not an issue though. I hope this information helps!
