Adopt Leya (Лея)

Female · Adult · 8 years

Leia is looking for a home or a caring caregiver 🐾 This gentle and quiet beauty is Leia. For years she lived in an animal shelter, staying aside and not approaching anyone. But when she got sick and ended up in the clinic, her new story began. They healed her, and they could not return her back to the animal shelter anymore - Leia is too sensitive and delicate, she needs peace and home warmth. Now she lives in a house and gradually opens up to people. She is gentle, reserved, stressed - but very trusting towards those who are near her with kindness. Leia is about 8-10 years old. She is a real lady: elegant, quiet, very beautiful - similar to a British shorthair mix, with soft plush fur. Leia loves to watch the world from the window, enjoy delicious treats and just be around. She is the perfect companion for those who value peace and mutual tenderness. We are looking for a home or a caregiver for Leia who will help her spend her old age with love.

Лея шукає дім або турботливого опікуна 🐾 Ця ніжна й тиха красуня — Лея. Роками вона жила в притулку, залишаючись осторонь і не йдучи на контакт. Але коли захворіла й потрапила до клініки, почалася її нова історія. Її вилікували, і повернути назад у притулок уже не змогли — Лея занадто вразлива й тендітна, їй потрібен спокій і домашнє тепло. Зараз вона живе в домі і поступово відкривається людям. Вона ніжна, стримана, стресова — але й дуже довірлива до тих, хто поруч із добром. Леї близько 8–10 років. Вона справжня леді: вишукана, мовчазна, дуже красива — схожа на метиса британської породи, з м’якою плюшевою шерстю. Лея любить спостерігати за світом з вікна, ласувати смачненьким і просто бути поруч. Вона — ідеальна компаньйонка для тих, хто цінує спокій і взаємну ніжність. Ми шукаємо для Лєї або дім, або опікуна, який допоможе їй прожити старість з любов’ю.

About Leya (Лея)

What life with Leya (Лея) looks like

Leya (Лея) is a small adult cat waiting at Sirius Shelter in Kyiv.

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.

Note from the shelter: Vulnerable and delicate, needs quiet home environment, recovering from illness

🇺🇦Adopting from Ukraine

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leya (Лея), answered.

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