Planned PEThood of Georgia Pet of the Week: Princess Leia

By Planned PEThood of Georgia February 27, 2020

Planned PEThood of Georgia is a non-profit organization. Their mission is to reduce the number of animals killed in the local shelters and to provide affordable services, not to make a profit. They keep overhead costs low in order to keep their prices affordable. Donations are welcome to assist with their efforts!

Take a look at that adorable little face and the white hair in her ears! Princess Leia was rescued from a kill shelter with her 6 kittens (Ewok, Jedi, Vader, Anakin, Chewbacca and Baby Yoda). Her kittens have all been adopted and now it is her turn.

Princess Leia is a spunky 2-year-old. She rubs around your legs and is very treat motivated. Princess Leia needs an outlet for her energy. She only has access to one room at my house and gets bored by herself. Princess Leia was thoroughly entertained by her kittens and will need space to run and play. She can nip when overstimulated, so I recommend no young children. I anticipate she will do better about the nipping once she has more space in a home.




Princess Leia is negative for FIV/FeLV, spayed or neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. The kitty has a microchip that will be transferred to the adopter upon completion of the adoption process. The adoption fee is $90.

Want to get more info on Princess Leia? Email her foster mom, Michele Stepp, at 630.303.0233.

Other animals are available for adoption through Planned PEThood of Georgia, a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization in Duluth.
