Meet Leia: The Gentle, Shy Kitten Ready to Blossom!

Leia is a shy and gentle 3-year-old girl who is slowly learning to enjoy some head scratches. She’s not quite ready for lap time or being held but is making steps towards feeling more comfortable.

Playful Moments: Leia has her playful side, especially when it comes to toy mice. Though she’s mostly food-motivated, she enjoys a good game of chase and the occasional zoomies.
- Quiet & Reserved: Leia is generally quiet and keeps to herself. She’ll softly meow from time to time and has started to engage in playful peek-a-boo moments.

Behavior & Habits
- No Scratching Behavior: Leia hasn’t shown any interest in scratching posts but uses the litter box consistently and is well-behaved.
- Gentle Nature: Leia is very gentle and hasn’t shown any signs of aggression. She doesn’t swat, scratch, or nip.

Perfect Home for Leia:
- Independent & Low Maintenance: Leia is ideal for a quiet home where she can have her own space and time to adjust at her own pace. She would thrive in a calm environment where she feels safe and secure.
- Patience & Understanding: Leia will need a patient and understanding adopter who can help her build confidence. She’s easily startled and loves to find cozy hiding spots, so a home with a few safe retreats will help her feel more at ease.

Why Adopt Leia?
Leia is a sweet, low-maintenance kitty with a gentle spirit. Watching her gradually come out of her shell and enjoying her moments of play and curiosity is truly rewarding. If you’re looking for a calm and patient companion who appreciates a comfy hideaway and gentle care, Leia is the perfect match.
