Desiree's Story

Meet Desiree, one of Sola's kittens who arrived in rough shape and at risk of losing both of her eyes. This little family came from Northern Pennsylvania from a caretaker who found herself suddenly overwhelmed with 22 moms and kittens, most of which became ill at the same time due to a respiratory virus. Sadly, one of Desiree's siblings didn't make it, but we were able to save her and her other three siblings. Over the past several months, we've worked hard to save her eyes, and they look great now! Desiree is one of two girls in her litter. <br/><br/>She's a playful, cheeky, sassy little girl who's sure to keep any adopter or foster laughing and on their toes. Currently, she is available for foster-to-adopt or foster placement due to her ongoing medical appointments.

Starlight Strays Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
Starlight Stray Sanctuary's adoption process is conducted online via Shelterluv. Applicants, whether for general adoption or a specific cat, apply through our online portal. We strive to review applications within 72 hours, acknowledging the volunteer-driven nature of our organization. Our approach prioritizes thoughtful matching over a first-come-first-served basis. Requirements include stable housing with proof of ownership or landlord consent, age 18 or older, and up-to-date vet records for existing pets. Upon approval, applicants can schedule meet and greets. As a foster-based organization without a facility, the process may take a bit longer, utilizing foster homes and partners for meeting locations.
