Stella is a shy, small domestic short hair cat who came from a hoarding environment in July 2025. She’s made some progress in foster care but still stays on high alert, preferring to keep her distance from new people. With those she trusts, she’ll accept gentle pets, though her first instinct around strangers is always to run and hide. Sometimes, you’ll find Stella quietly sharing the room, but she doesn’t seek out attention or affection. Stella does best around other cats and would likely benefit from being adopted with one of her foster siblings. Jasmine, her mom, Harriet, her sister, or BMO, her brother, are all available and could help Stella feel at ease in a new space. She needs a quiet, patient home ready to work at her pace. She’s not the right fit for someone looking for a social butterfly, but with time and understanding, Stella could blossom in the right company. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
