Profile Information	Leia is the most diligent mama we have ever met and is still nursing her two kittens a couple of times a day. We think she would make a great “mama hen” to young animals. She is SO sweet and friendly and has never displayed any aggression towards humans or so much as pawed at us. Leia is still learning that there is enough food to go around, but getting better every day-she has progressed from calling and pacing to having naps on the couch with us and not running to the kitchen every time we make a move. Leia does get up on counters and take whatever she can find that smells like food, but is responding to consistent love and boundaries. She would be a great family pet (although not tested with very small children) but needs a home that is experienced with cat behaviour and will continue to build her up. Adoption fee $100
