Hi, I'm Stella! I am looking for a quiet, low-stress home to call my own. I used to love cuddling with my mom in bed, and following her around the house- I'm hoping to find a new human who will enjoy my company just as much as she did. I enjoy watching the world outside my window, and playing with interactive toys, jingly balls, and catnip stuffies. I didn't mind the dog in my last home once we got to know each other, but I was not at all a fan of the young children in the home, so I'd prefer calmer, more mature housemates. I've been a little stressed since arriving at the shelter, and may need a little extra time and understanding while I decompress and settle in to my forever home.
My foster says "Stella enjoys being with her human. She will follow you around the house and sit with you, 'making biscuits ' and purring. She likes being pet and looking out the window. When a new person arrives she will cautiously investigate and warms up pretty quickly. She startles easily but also recovers quickly. Stella is a a lovely cat."
This cat previously tested negative for feline leukemia (FeLV), but members of her litter tested positive. We suggest discussing FeLV and additional diagnostic work with your veterinarian prior to housing with other cats.
