About Starfish

Meet Starfish! This stunning tabby-calico is quite a character with her swirly coat and permanently offended expression. Starfish has a sassy attitude that will keep you entertained for days. She’s not shy about voicing her opinions; when she's confused or unsure, her go-to reactions are hisses and swats, paired with a comically grumpy glare. Beneath that diva persona, though, lies a sweet, playful kitten eager to bond once she feels safe. Starfish has the loudest purr and loves to knead her little paws as she snuggles up next to your face. She’ll thrive best in a quiet, adult-only home where she can take her time to trust her environment. Initially, she'll need a small, secure space like a bathroom to decompress, and potential adopters should respect her boundaries as she adjusts. Starfish is food motivated, especially for seafood-flavored treats, which are the fast track to her heart! She's looking for a special home as the only cat, and while she may tolerate a calm, cat-friendly dog with careful introductions, she prefers to be the center of attention. Are you ready to build a bond with this charming little weirdo? If you have the patience and understanding she needs, Starfish could be your perfect match! Starfish will be ready to go home after 11/5. Click apply to start the adoption process.
