Leia

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

A young female cat named Princess Leia has been living in a loving foster home since the beginning of July. There, she was able to raise her four kittens in peace and has since shown what a wonderful little personality she has. Initially, Leia is rather reserved and takes some time to gain trust. Once she has accepted her caregiver, however, she shows her very different side: She is incredibly affectionate and cuddly. She enjoys petting, likes to be picked up and even loves to lie on her shoulder. Leia is a very special cat: One who may not immediately rush towards every person, but gives all the more in return when she has gained trust. Those who give her the necessary time may experience how she opens her big heart. But Leia would not be Princess Leia if she did not also carry a little lioness inside her. She makes it quite clear to other cats who she thinks is in charge. Therefore, we would like to find her a home where she can be the single princess. A place with secure outdoor access would be ideal for the confident young lady. Leia is currently in a foster home and can be met there by appointment.

Geschlecht: weiblich Haltung : Einzelprinzessin mit Freigang (gesichert oder ruhige Wohngegend) Die junge Katzenmama Prinzessin Leia befindet sich seit Anfang Juli auf einer unserer liebevollen Pflegestellen. Dort durfte sie in Ruhe ihre vier Kitten großziehen und hat inzwischen gezeigt, was für eine wundervolle kleine Persönlichkeit in ihr steckt. Anfangs ist Leia eher zurückhaltend und braucht ein wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat sie ihre Bezugsperson aber erst einmal ins Herz geschlossen, zeigt sie ihre ganz andere Seite: Dann ist sie unglaublich anhänglich und verschmust. Sie genießt Streicheleinheiten, lässt sich gerne auf den Arm nehmen und liebt es sogar, auf der Schulter zu liegen. Leia ist eine ganz besondere Maus: Eine, die vielleicht nicht sofort auf jeden Menschen zustürmt, dafür aber umso mehr zurückgibt, wenn sie Vertrauen gefasst hat. Wer ihr die nötige Zeit gibt, darf erleben, wie sie ihr großes Herz öffnet. Aber Leia wäre nicht Prinzessin Leia, wenn sie nicht auch eine kleine Löwin in sich tragen würde. Gegenüber anderen Katzen macht sie ziemlich deutlich, wer ihrer Meinung nach das Sagen hat. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie am liebsten ein Zuhause, in dem sie Einzelprinzessin sein darf. Ein Platz mit sicherem Freigang wäre für die selbstbewusste junge Dame optimal. Leia befindet sich derzeit auf einer Pflegestelle und kann dort nach vorheriger Absprache gerne kennengelernt werden.

About Leia

What life with Leia looks like

Leia is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. in St. Ingbert.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. 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 — Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Verein der Katzenfreunde e.V. 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.
