About Estelle

Estelle is a remarkable cat in need of a dedicated home. She came to us after being at high risk of behavioral euthanasia due to her overwhelming circumstances at a crowded facility. Initially, she responded by hissing, growling, and swatting as a defense mechanism, but all she needs is time, patience, and the right environment to thrive. This beautiful seal point Siamese is looking for a home without children, dogs, or dominant cats. However, she does get along well with respectful adults and laid-back cats, especially kittens. Estelle loves to play, darting around after toys and engaging in some serious kitten-like antics. While she appears to be a purebred, we cannot guarantee it and cannot label her hypoallergenic. It’s essential that her future family has cat experience and a strong positive vet history. Additionally, applicants must outline their plan to help Estelle acclimate to her new environment. She needs a family that respects her boundaries, as she can become overstimulated and will communicate when she needs space. Estelle takes daily Fluoxetine, with a cost of about $60 monthly, which should be acknowledged in the application process. A quiet home is crucial for her adjustment, but she will open up and become an incredibly loyal companion over time. She's around 6 years old and full of energy and affection to share. Estelle has a history of asthmatic lungs and a partially collapsed trachea, so maintaining a healthy weight is essential for her well-being. Ready to add Estelle to your family?
