About Rella

Rella is a sweet Domestic Short Hair who came to The Hermitage Cat Shelter in June 2026 after her owner could no longer care for her due to work commitments. This little lady loves deeply and thrives on human companionship. Unfortunately, she faces some challenges; Rella has been diagnosed with Feline Idiopathic Cystitis, meaning stress can lead to urinary issues. Her past circumstances triggered this condition, which is why she’s seeking a calm, nurturing home. Rella will need a special adopter who understands her needs and can provide an environment that minimizes stress. Her new family will be carefully vetted by our adoption staff to ensure she’s placed in the right situation. If you're looking for a loving companion and can offer a stable home, Rella might just be the right match for you. Ready to make a difference in her life? Apply now!
