Yes, it is.

I read it around 1995-2005, and in it, a girl finds pink-and-green sneakers. she puts them on and finds out they make her invisible. she has to cat-sit for a neighbor (I can't remember why), but one of the cats hates her. they're kept in the garage, and she uses the sneakers' invisibility to take care of the cats because they're less angry when they can't see her. I think the cats were fluffy and white.

Should also say there was a field separating their houses and it had a structure in it that the girls sat in and talked under the starts

I first read this when I was a child, about 23 years ago. First published around 1995-2005. In it, I remember a scene where the girls are coloring and the Black girl sees a crayon called “flesh” and the white girl sees and realizes the difference in the shades/tones.
