Starr is a cat who gets to know you before she trusts you. She is a stereotypical cat, in that you need to prove your worthiness to her before seeing how loving she can be! Starr definitely lived with a family because she came in with a collar reading "Starr Butterfly" (so sad!!) but we do not recommend that she live with children because she can hiss or throw paws (not claws) when startled. She does not like other cats and would do best in a calm, quiet home with an experienced owner! She is truly a sweet girl who just needs a second chance, and someone who can see past her self-protective exterior to her genuine nature.
