My story
Share
Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Stellaluna is a 14-year-old lady who knows exactly who she is—and expects others to respect that. She prefers to be admired rather than fussed over and will happily supervise her kingdom from a cozy sunbeam. Pets are sometimes welcome, but only on her terms. If you’re mindful of her signals, she may reward you with a few precious head boops and a brief moment of petting… emphasis on brief, please. As a front-paw declawed cat, Stellaluna requires a gentle, understanding home that prioritizes her comfort and safety. Now in her golden years, her ideal day includes long naps in warm spots, savoring yummy Churu treats, and keeping a close eye on true crime shows from a comfortable perch. Stellaluna isn’t looking for just any home—she’s looking for the right one. A calm, cat-savvy household that appreciates her independence, respects her boundaries, and is honored to share space with a queen.
