Estrella
AvailableEstrella is a medium-sized, short-coated female domestic short hair with striking tabby and calico coloring, currently living in East Orange, NJ. She is spayed, house trained, and fully vaccinated. Estrella requires twice-daily medication for hyperthyroidism, which she takes easily in her wet food. She does not get along with cats but is comfortable with dogs and children over 8 years old.
About Estrella
Estrella’s journey has been one of resilience and transformation. At four years old, she once struggled to open up, but after much patience and a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, she’s learned to trust and now genuinely enjoys gentle pets and face kisses. Her current foster helped guide her through this, and with a consistent medication routine, Estrella’s personality shines brighter every day. She isn’t a lap cat just yet but does love to play with toys, watch birds from the window, and gives affectionate leg rubs when the mood strikes. While she’s not looking for snuggles on your lap, treats and her favorite wet food have quickly become her love language, and with continued gentleness, she may grow even closer. Estrella fits in best with families who understand that slow introductions are key, especially since she does well with children over 8 but isn’t a fan of other cats. She is house trained and will need medication mixed into her food twice daily for life, something she accepts without fuss. Up to date on vaccines, spayed, and tested negative for FIV/FELV, Estrella is ready for a family who will honor her journey and support her health. She’ll thrive with someone patient, consistent, and loving, who sees her unique spirit. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
