Abstract: In this paper we devote to spaces that are not homotopically hausdorff and study their covering spaces. We introduce the notion of small covering and prove that every small covering of $X$ is the universal covering in categorical sense. Also, we introduce the notion of semi-locally small loop space which is the necessary and sufficient condition for existence of universal cover for non-homotopically hausdorff spaces, equivalently existence of small covering spaces. Also, we prove that for semi-locally small loop spaces, $X$ is a small loop space if and only if every cover of $X$ is trivial if and only if $p{i}_1^{top}(X)$ is an indiscrete topological group.
