Meet Stella, the cat for anyone drawn to a relationship with a healthy amount of distance and attitude. She has turned ignoring humans into an art form. If you appreciate a housemate who looks straight through you and considers your presence more an occasional inconvenience, you’re in luck. Stella isn’t hostile—just profoundly uninterested. She’ll tolerate a pat here and there, likely with a dignified hiss, but she isn’t keen on letting anyone think she’s given in. Stella came in with a crew of fellow outdoor cats after a tense situation threatened their safety, and, while most have moved on and mellowed, Stella remains steadfastly nonchalant about human affections. What she does appreciate is feline company—she’s lived peacefully with an ever-changing roster of other cats, finding far more in common with them than with people. Her ideal adopter is patient, level-headed, and doesn’t mind earning absolutely nothing in the way of affection. Stella’s made her stance clear with children—she’d rather not engage, so an adult-only household fits best. If you want a cat to keep another cat company and don’t require a sidekick who needs you, Stella’s ready to fill that role with professional detachment. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
