Are you looking for a sweet and cuddly kitty, a big softie that loves snuggles and kisses? Well.... Leila is NOT the cat for you! Leila is not grumpy, she is happiness challenged! She can can come across as crotchety, but that's just to those who misunderstand her! Leila is a loyal kitty who came from a loving home. Leila lived happily with her owner since she was a kitten. Unfortunately, due to a very sad set of circumstances, Leila's owner was no longer able to care for her. So now, Leila is here, with new people who she doesn't know. And she's not really a "People Person"!! Leila would like an adult only quiet home with no other animals. She would do best with experienced cat people. Leila loves to lay on the couch and relax. When living with her mom, she really enjoyed pets and rubs around her face and neck. She allowed her mom to pick her up and brush her. She will come to you but does not want attention when she's not in the mood. We all know someone like this right?! It's not really that uncommon! At only 9 years young, Leila has lots of life and energy and really likes playing with toys. Leila will warm up to someone new given time. She is not enjoying being here at the shelter. She needs to go home. Since arriving at the shelter she is definitely coming around to the staff and being more patient with us and she is letting us give her little pets on her head. She really likes treats and can definitely be bribed to like you using Temptations!! Leila will let you know when she's not happy, she gives you plenty of warning! She's good at communicating her feelings. Adopting a cat like Leila can bring excitement but then a rewarding feeling of love when she feels comfortable with you and allows you to get close and rub her. If you have some patience and want to adopt a very special girl that really needs a furever family please take a chance on our Leila.
