Leia

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Unsere junge Katzendame Leia (geb. 2025) vereint das Beste aus beiden Welten: Sie genießt ausgiebige Kuschelstunden mit ihren Menschen, ist aber gleichzeitig neugierig, verspielt und immer für eine kleine Portion Action zu begeistern. Leia ist eine sehr menschenbezogene Katze, die die Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen sucht und sich gerne verwöhnen lässt. Gleichzeitig bringt sie altersgerecht Schwung mit und freut sich über Beschäftigung, gemeinsames Spielen und abwechslungsreiche Möglichkeiten, ihre Umgebung zu erkunden. Mit anderen Katzen kommt Leia gut zurecht, sodass sie gerne zu einer passenden Samtpfote ziehen kann. Ebenso wäre sie aber auch als Einzelkatze glücklich, wenn ihre Menschen genügend Zeit für sie haben und sich intensiv mit ihr beschäftigen. Für Leia wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause in Wohnungshaltung, in dem sie sowohl ihre verschmuste als auch ihre verspielte Seite ausleben darf. Wenn Sie sie kennenlernen möchten, klicken Sie bitte auf den Button „Katze anfragen“ und füllen Sie das Online-Formular vollständig aus. So erhalten wir vorab alle relevanten Informationen für ein erstes Gespräch.

About Leia

What life with Leia looks like

Leia is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Ludwigshafen in Ludwigshafen/Rheim.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ludwigshafen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Ludwigshafen will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Leia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Leia isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Ludwigshafen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leia and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
