About Leota

Leota is a young female Domestic Short Hair who is on a journey to finding her forever home. She can be quite nervous, so it's important to let her come to you on her own terms. Our dedicated staff has been helping her build confidence, but she will need continued support once she’s settled in. To make her transition easier, set up a quiet sanctuary room with food, water, a cozy bed, toys, a scratching post, and a litter box. This space should have hiding spots and perches for her to feel secure. After a few days, you can start introducing her to the rest of your home or other pets, but keep in mind she’ll need plenty of patience during this adjustment period. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
