Stella #shy-lap-cat

My story

CRAVES COMFORT AND CALM  DOB 3/1/22 Hey there, everyone! I’m Stella, an initially very shy gray tabby gal with white tuxedo markings who’s blossomed into a loving, loyal companion now that I feel secure in my foster home. Since Foster Meowmy has earned my trust with her patience and consistency, I absolutely love cuddling in her lap as she gentle pets me and snuggling with her as my bedfellow. Since I was rescued from a group of stray community cats at a feeding station, I was admittedly tentative when I first arrived in my foster home. Don’t get me wrong – I was extremely grateful to find a safe haven where I didn’t need to fend for myself any more. However, it’s been a challenge to acclimate to all the new household noises, other animals, and people that are different from my previous home that seems so long ago and far away in my memory. Thankfully, I’ve found my favorite safe spot in my foster home, a quiet spare bedroom that I claim as my own. Even though the door is left wide open, it suits me fine as my sanctuary for the comfort and calmness that I crave. When Foster Meowmy comes in to keep me company, I run right up to her for pets the moment she enters. Sometimes when I get lonely, I call for her with a soft, plaintiff meow, and of course, I’m thrilled when she accepts my invitation for fellowship. When I’m alone, I entertain myself on the top perch of the cat tree where I can look out the window at all the people, dogs, and wildlife as they walk, scamper, and fly by. The cat-tree cubbies also provide a few hidey holes that help me feel safe while I nap. I’m ready now to bring my quiet joy and deep affection to my forever family. Could that be with you? I’d thrive in a quiet, low-traffic home -- ideally a small house or apartment -- with no other pets or young children. As long as I’m given time and space to open up at my own pace, I feel confident that I’ll become the cherished pet of just the right person. My heart has so much love to give – all I need is YOU!
