About Leia

Leia is a 7-year-old spayed female with a short, tortoiseshell and calico coat, who found herself alone and uncertain until she landed safely at her rescue. She arrived scared, but before long, her love for people showed through. Leia craves attention and isn’t shy about asking for pets—her quiet, endearing meow always gets the point across. She’s independent and prefers not to mingle with other cats much, but won’t cause trouble if left to her own corner. Dogs make her uneasy, especially loud ones, but she can thrive with children who respect her space and limits. Leia dreams of a warm lap and a caring companion, and she’s looking for someone ready to share simple comforts and steady affection. Click apply to start the adoption process.
