Stella has had a tough start in life, but she’s slowly learning that kindness and comfort are meant for her, too. This resilient mama has raised two litters and is now ready for a home where she can finally be cared for herself.
She may be a little cautious at first, but give her time, and you’ll see her affectionate side shine through. If you’re still and patient, she’ll come to you, rub against you, and ask for gentle pets, all while rewarding you with her loud, contented purr. Sudden movements can make her nervous, but when she feels safe, she enjoys lounging in sunbeams, perching up high, and using scratching posts.
Stella is low-maintenance and does well with other cats. She would likely be fine with gentle, relaxed dogs who respect her space. She just needs a home that understands her quiet bravery and gentle heart.
Are you the patient, loving person Stella has been waiting for? Come meet her and give her the chance she deserves!
