About Leia

Meet Leia, a gentle 8-year-old black beauty with a charming corkscrew tail and expressive green eyes. After spending years in a loving home, she arrived at Safe Haven due to changes that left her feeling lost and timid. Imagine transitioning from the comfort of familiarity to a new environment; it’s a lot for any cat. Leia may show her anxiety by retreating or hissing when new faces are too overwhelming, but this is simply her way of saying she needs space, not a sign of aggression. As Leia starts to trust, her sweet, affectionate side shines through. She responds beautifully to gentle touches, rewarding them with soothing purrs that reveal her true nature. Although she hasn’t fully expressed her playful side yet, she is currently adjusting to her new surroundings and taking life at her own pace. This tranquility makes her an ideal "Project Cat"—she's looking for a special adopter who understands that building trust takes time. Leia thrives in calm, quiet environments, ideally suited for adults or young adults. While she might not rush to greet you, with patience and kindness, she will learn to seek your presence for comfort and companionship. She’s also known to get along with other cats and could happily share her space with a feline friend. Could you be the one to help Leia rediscover her confidence and find a forever home where she truly belongs? To meet Leia, visit Safe Haven in Wells, ME, and fill out an adoption application. Let’s help this precious girl feel safe and loved again. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
