Stella

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Stella came to the shelter as an ardent and dignified cat. Her world was more of a threat than a safe haven, and her fear and apprehension were akin to facing a world championship. Yet, she is still young, and from the very first days, it was clear that she has potential. With time, peace, and resilience, Stella has gone through a long journey. Today, she no longer looks at the world with a fearful gaze. She moves freely around the cat room, plays, cuddles with other cat groups, and has even found herself some loyal friends. She allows herself to be petted and watches human actions with slight and fresh curiosity. While Stella still keeps a distance from strangers – not out of fear, but out of caution. Interest is present, and trust is growing. Stella does not seek a home where she is expected to play the role of a lap cat, but a person who understands that trust grows with time. A peaceful home, a resilient heart, and readiness to be Stella’s own – in such a family, she could one day fully blossom. If you feel that you are ready for peace and time, Stella might just be the cat who grows alongside you.

Stella tuli minu turvakoju argliku ja kartliku kassina. Tema maailmas tähendas inimene pigem ohtu kui turvatunnet ning susin ja käpahoop olid justkui kilp maailma vastu. Samas on ta alles noor ning juba esimestest päevadest oli näha, et temas on potentsiaali. Aja, rahu ja kannatlikkusega on Stella käinud läbi pika teekonna. Täna ei vaata ta enam maailma hirmunud pilguga. Ta liigub kassitoas vabalt ringi, mängib, naudib teiste kasside seltskonda ja on leidnud endale isegi kaisukaaslased. Ta lubab end juba paitada ning jälgib inimese toimetamisi vaikselt ja uudishimulikult. Võõrastega hoiab Stella veel distantsi – mitte hirmust, vaid ettevaatlikkusest. Huvi on olemas, usaldus alles kasvab. Stella ei otsi kodu, kus temalt oodatakse kohest sülekassi rolli, vaid inimest, kes mõistab, et usaldus sünnib ajaga. Rahulik kodu, kannatlik süda ja valmisolek lasta Stellal olla tema ise – just sellises peres saaks ta ühel päeval täielikult õide puhkeda. Kui tunned, et sinus on seda rahu ja aega, siis võib Stella olla just see kass, kes kasvab koos sinuga. Kui Stella lugu sind kõnetas ja soovid tema kohta rohkem teada, siis palun kirjuta hoiukodu meiliaadressile . Tekkis huvi? Täida ankeet ja paku kodu!

About Stella

What life with Stella looks like

Stella is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ in Estonia.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇪🇪Adopting from Estonia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Stella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Stella?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Stella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Stella if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Stella already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Stella isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ early rather than rehoming privately; they know Stella and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (ET). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
