Considering the confinement of massless $u$ and $d$ quarks and massive $s$ quarks in an axially symmetric quadrupole shaped deformable bag, the stability properties of color-singlet strangelets at finite temperatures are studied for the baryon number $A \leq$ 100. It is found that, in general, at each $A$ the energy of the strangelet is the lowest for the spherical shape. However, it is interesting to find shell structures for the deformed shapes at some new $A$ values, not found for the spherical shape. This should be of relevance for the experimental search of strangelets. The color projected (singlet) calculation shows that even for the deformed shapes the shell structures vanish only for the temperature, $T \ga$ 30 MeV. On the other hand, from a somewhat crude estimate we also find that at a fixed entropy per baryon (instead of a fixed temperature) of the order of unity or higher these shell structures disappear.
