My name is Starlene #snuggle-bunny!

DOB 5/1/23

Hey everyone! I’m Starlene, a loveable, playful mitted “patched tabby” gal who never leaves a doubt in Foster Meowmy’s mind that I love her. My favorite naptime spot is nestled next to her, where I purr away as I fall asleep. I’ve proved to be the best couch buddy she could ever ask for, and my favorite TV shows include ER and Teen Wolf. At bedtime, I like to crawl aboard Meowmy’s chest and listen to her heartbeat before I curl up on her shoulder for comfort and warmth. “Lights out” is when we say good night and safeguard one another’s dreams.

In the morning, I awaken with Meowmy’s alarm clock, yawn, and then ask if it’s time to go watch Cat TV yet. When Meowmy leaves for work, I entertain myself by zooming around the house as well as batting my rolly-balls and stuffed mouse around the room. Anytime during the day is Cat TV time—that’s where I sit on my window perch and carefully track the squirrels, birds, and butterflies as the scamper and fly by.

The second Foster Meowmy comes home, I’m there to greet her with ankle rubs and a happy little “meowr!” She may unwind from a stressful day by interactively waving my beloved feather wand over my head or snaking it for me to chase around the room. I’m a natural explorer, so I always check out anything new. I’ve charted the unknown waters of pantries, cabinets, and bathtubs; I’ve even ventured into the seedy underbelly of sofas as well as upholstered chairs, and I have the dust bunnies to prove it.

There are no other cats in my foster home, but I’m calm and curious with the resident dog except when he gets too excited and is pushy and impolite. I get along great with the well-behaved neighborhood kid and teen who catsit for me when Foster Meowmy goes out of town. They like it that I rub against their hands and ankles to plant my pheromones and that I invite them to pet me. True confessions: when I get excited, sometimes I give a love-bite (but obey immediately to “No biting!”) and can grab hands with my claws out. So maybe a home without young children would be best because I don’t want to scare anybody!

Foster Meowmy first saw me as a friendly, pregnant, teenage stray living at a near-by community-cat colony. She immediately brought me inside, where I began living the good life of a housecat. Now that Meowmy fixed it so I’ll never get trapped in an unwanted pregnancy again, I’m ready to find my forever home. I’m keeping mum about my life before I appeared at the cat colony, but just let me assure you that I was born to be a Star! Arrange to meet me today! If you’re looking for a stellar cuddle buddy, I’m the gal for you!
