About Leila

Leila is a charming female cat looking for a loving home. She’s a six-year-old Domestic Short Hair with a striking black and white tuxedo coat. Leila arrived from Georgia, hoping to find her forever family after a tough transition back to the shelter. She's affectionate and enjoys head scratches, but she also appreciates her personal space and will let you know when she's had enough affectionate attention. Leila has pica, which means she sometimes chews on non-food items, so her new family should be patient and willing to help her manage this. Despite her challenges, Leila has a lot of love to offer. She gets along well with fellow cats and dogs but prefers a quiet home without children. This sweet girl is ready to start her next chapter and hopes you'll show her that life can be beautiful again.
