Thinking of getting a cat. Are strays in Colombia friendly?

I currently live in Medellin and been proudly making my way in this city for about 4 years now. I’m starting to feel quite lonely recently and I finally decided that I want to adopt a pet cat. I’m not much of a dog person but I feel as though having a cat is the best choice for me and my financial stability.

I’ve read some reviews from Colombian women and foreigners alike who are living here, that the strays are pretty tame and friendly. But I want to personally hear from long time locals and foreigners who chose to settle down here as well. Any insights and personal experiences?
