My name is Stella!

Meet Stella — A Queen Ready for Her Castle
Stella is a stunning young cat with a gentle heart and a quiet strength. Found as a stray in November, she has spent the last few months learning what it means to feel safe, warm, and loved indoors. Every day she blossoms a little more, revealing a deeply affectionate, people‑oriented companion who just wants a human of her own.

Stella is the kind of cat who chooses her person with intention. Once she trusts you, she melts into snuggles, purrs softly, and becomes a loyal little shadow. She is incredibly food‑motivated, which has helped her bond and build confidence. She’s also been perfect with the litter box from day one.

Why She Needs to Be the Only Pet
Stella wants to be the queen of her home — and she deserves it. After four months of trying to integrate her with multiple resident cats, it’s clear she prefers a peaceful, pet‑free environment. She has shown cat aggression and has not made progress living with other animals.

Because of this, Stella will thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention without competition. She has not been tested with dogs or children, so a calm, adult household would be ideal.

Her Personality
• Sweet, affectionate, and people‑focused
• A little shy at first, but warms up beautifully with patience
• Becoming more purry and cuddly every day
• Loves routine, food rewards, and cozy spots
• Independent but deeply appreciative of gentle companionship
• Still adjusting to indoor life, so she needs an adopter who respects boundaries and lets her bloom at her own pace

Stella is a wonderful match for someone who wants a loving, grateful companion and enjoys the process of watching a once‑stray cat transform into a confident, affectionate family member.

Ideal Home
Stella is looking for:
• A quiet, stable home
• A patient adopter who understands shy or formerly stray cats
• A pet‑free environment where she can be the star
• Someone who will celebrate her progress and let her trust grow naturally

With the right person, Stella will absolutely shine. She’s ready for her forever home — one where she can finally relax, feel safe, and be adored.
