Stella Bella was a gorgeous long-haired kitty who was black with a mix of gray when she came to the refuge in April of 2021. She was very pregnant when she was surrendered to the refuge by a former Goathouse employee in hopes that she would have a safe place to deliver her babies. Within a few days of her arrival, she gave birth to 4 kittens. She lost a great deal of fur during her pregnancy which has grown back with no gray nor white except the round white dot on her chest, and she is very petite for an adult kitty. Stella Bella remains guarded of people and would prefer a very quiet, patient family with experience in cat socialization so she can have the space and supportive guidance she needs in order for her to thrive.
