Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Merrifield, Virginia

Meet Stella!

Estimated to have been born in August 2024, Stella comes to 4 Paws from a rescue partner in Tennessee and is ready to start her next chapter in the DC metro area.

Stella is a high-energy, water-loving little goofball who will keep you endlessly entertained. For her, playtime is serious business-complete with acrobatic leaps, mid-air twists, and the most dramatic pre-pounce butt wiggle you've ever seen. She brings joy and laughter wherever she goes and always finds a way to turn even the simplest toy into a full performance. She especially loves toys she can bat around like mice and balls.

When Stella is ready to wind down, her affectionate side takes center stage. She'll march back and forth across your lap approximately seven times before deciding she's comfortable... and then do it all over again because she's just that excited to be close to you. Her enthusiasm for both play and cuddles makes her the perfect companion for someone looking for a cat with a big personality and an even bigger heart.

If you're looking for a cat who will make you laugh every single day and then insist on snuggling up afterward, Stella is your girl.

Stella is good with other non-dominant cats but can also be adopted as a single. It is unknown how she is with dogs. Stella is up to date on vaccines, spayed, micrcochipped and tested negative for FELV/FIV.
