About Stella
Stella is a playful and affectionate kitten searching for a special person ready to invest in her care. Abandoned with her family but lucky to be rescued, Stella has a unique medical story: she’s a bobtail kitten born without even a nub, and suspected megacolon means her colon doesn’t always work as it should. She needs someone unafraid of daily hands-on routines—medication, hygiene, and the occasional manual cleanup. Most days, Stella uses the litterbox, but accidents will happen, and her bottom needs frequent wiping. Monitoring her bathroom habits is critical to keep her healthy and happy. Her diet isn’t fussy, but regular meals help keep her digestive system moving. Stella is energetic and loving, full of the kitten spirit, and enjoys all the little things a cat her age should. Potential adopters should know this is a lifelong, progressive condition. Her life might be cut short if her comfort can’t be maintained, but today, she’s thriving. Foster or foster-to-adopt arrangements are available to make sure everyone is a good fit. Ideally, Stella’s new human has some experience with special needs pets or is committed to learning. If you’re up for daily care, aren’t deterred by occasional messes, and you want to give a loving kitten a real shot, Stella could be the companion you’re looking for. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
