Default use formatting from source cell in CONCATENATE function

I created a special format so that leading 0's in a value are printed.
However when using the CONCATENATE function of excel, the formatting is
ignored and the leading 0's are dropped. It would be valuable (to me) if the
formatting of a cell (number of decimal places, leading zeros, etc was
"honored" by the CONCATENATE function.

Let's say
A1 = 001 (custom format)
B1 = cat

Formula C1 =CONCATENATE(TEXT(A1,"000"),B1) The result will be 001cat
