Carla

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.<br/><br/>Carla is small, fierce, and absolutely running the place—whether you like it or not.<br/><br/>This firecracker has BIG personality packed into a tiny kitten body. Like her Cheers namesake, Carla is bold, outspoken (yes, she talks back), and just a little unhinged in the most lovable way. She’s the kitten equivalent of spicy—sweet underneath, but definitely brings the heat.<br/><br/>Play Style:<br/><br/>Carla plays like she’s got a vendetta against toys. She pounces with purpose, bunny-kicks with enthusiasm, and attacks wand toys as if they personally offended her. Zoomies? Oh yes. Random sideways hops? Constant. She’s high-energy, fast, and hilariously dramatic—sometimes launching herself into play with no clear plan except chaos. After burning off that energy, she crashes hard and sleeps like nothing ever happened.<br/><br/>Temperament:<br/><br/>Carla is affectionate, but in a scrappy, ride-or-die way. She bonds strongly with her people and is incredibly loyal. She may swat the air, puff up, or zoom past you like a blur—but it’s all playful, not aggressive. She’s a little crazy, a little dramatic, and 100% entertaining. Think “tiny tornado with a heart of gold.”<br/><br/>Social Skills:<br/><br/>Good with kids, cats, and dogs, though she prefers to be the boss. She’ll hold her own, set boundaries, and then cuddle like a champion once everyone knows who’s in charge.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a kitten with attitude, humor, and chaotic energy wrapped in a tiny body, Carla is ready to spice up your life and steal your heart—probably while yelling about it.<br/><br/>We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why Carla would do good with a friend, including:<br/><br/>-Two kittens keep each other entertained - they will play and get all their energy out on each other in time for snuggles with you!<br/><br/>-Having two kittens to play with each other prevents "I'm lonely and bored" behavioral issues.<br/><br/>-Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see.<br/><br/>-The kittens will teach each other "how to cat" and learn to be more social with humans and people.<br/><br/>-You'll save two lives instead of one!<br/><br/>Carla is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed , and litter box trained.<br/><br/>Carla 's adoption fee is $165. Please note A.R.F. does not approve applications for any kitten under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL.<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting Carla , please fill out our online kitten adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ today!<br/><br/>Once your application has been approved, an A.R.F. volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.
