Stealia is as special as her name suggests.
She is a beautiful 5-year-old calico with a glorious presence and a heart ready to bond with the right human. Once part of a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program, she’s now fully domesticated and eager to enjoy the comforts of a loving home.
She’s spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped – all set for a safe and healthy future. Stealia thrives in a calm environment where she can be the center of attention. While she’s not fond of dogs or young children, she can coexist with other cats who respect her personal space. She’s food assertive and may vocalize her boundaries, snapping or yelling at other cats, but she’s not aggressive; she's just a confident communicator.
Stealia would do best with someone who appreciates her independent spirit and is ready to offer her the peaceful, predictable life she deserves.
Could you be the one to give Stealia her happily ever after?
The adoption fee is at your discretion and is a donation to our rescue. Manatee, Hillsborough, Sarasota, and Pinellas counties only. We ONLY ACCEPT ONLINE, properly filled-out applications. Please apply to adopt her online at https://www.duetteanimalrescueteam.org/online-adoption-application.
Thank you for caring.

More about this rescue
We founded the Duette Animal Rescue Team (DART) in 2020 in Manatee County. DART is a volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing former domestic and exotic pets such as prosimians and cats with behavioral challenges. We learned about the plight for exotic pets held in captivity and lack of understanding of the care they need as wild animals. We support causes that advocate for the conservation of these species in the wild in their native countries. By working with a network of zo's, private owners, zoo staff volunteer advocates, foster caregivers, local veterinarians, trainers, and shelters,
DART strives to rescue animals and provide these animals with behavioral rehabilitation and care. We catch cats to assist with the management of stray cat overpopulation in the community. We rehabilitate the cats so that we can put them up for adoption and have a better quality of life. For example, cat litter box training and socialization.
