Leila

Mixed Breed · Female

Leila is a small female cat with both energy and thoughtfulness. She loves to explore the world around her, but does so at her own pace. When something captures her interest, she can't help but investigate it, and her little antics and explorations often bring charm and smiles. At the same time, she has a soft caution that makes her want to feel out new situations before diving in. Now Leila is looking for a home where her curiosity and gentle personality can flourish. She thrives best with someone who can give her security, play and closeness, and who lets her take her steps forward at the pace that feels right for her. With the right conditions, she will grow into a secure, happy and loving cat.

Leila är en liten honkatt med både energi och eftertänksamhet. Hon älskar att utforska världen omkring sig, men gör det gärna i sin egen takt. När något fångar hennes intresse kan hon inte låta bli att undersöka det, och hennes små hyss och upptäcktsfärder bjuder ofta på både charm och leenden. Samtidigt har hon en mjuk försiktighet som gör att hon gärna känner in nya situationer innan hon kastar sig in i dem.Nu söker Leila ett hem där hennes nyfikenhet och milda personlighet får blomma. Hon trivs bäst hos någon som kan ge henne trygghet, lek och närhet, och som låter henne ta sina steg framåt i den takt som känns rätt för henne. Med rätt förutsättningar kommer hon att växa upp till en trygg, glad och kärleksfull katt.

About Leila

What life with Leila looks like

Leila is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Uppsala Katthem in Uppsala.

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 Sweden

Swedish shelters require an adoption application and home visit. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized. Cross-border placements within the EU use the standard pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leila, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leila?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Uppsala Katthem handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Leila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Leila if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Uppsala Katthem 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 Leila 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 Leila 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 Uppsala Katthem early rather than rehoming privately; they know Leila 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 (SV). 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.
