About Estrella

Estrella is a lovely young Tortie who found herself at the shelter after her owner moved abroad, leaving her and a tiny kitten behind. Initially a bit tense, she quickly warmed up and now thrives in the community room, where she enjoys roaming and playing with other cats. Estrella is affectionate and eager for companionship, making her a potential heartwarming addition to any household. While she’s already spayed and in good health, she would thrive in a calm environment, preferably away from very young children. She loves cheek and chin scratches, and her purr motor is always running! If you’re seeking a gentle companion who needs a low-traffic home and some slow introductions to new people, Estrella might just be the one for you.
