Carla is small, fierce, and absolutely running the place—whether you like it or not.

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.

Play Style:

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.

Temperament:

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.”

Social Skills:

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.

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. 

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs!  There are several reasons why

Carla

 would do good with a friend, including:

-Two kittens keep each other entertained - they will play and get all their energy out on each other in time for snuggles with you!

-Having two kittens to play with each other prevents "I'm lonely and bored" behavioral issues.

-Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see.

-The kittens will teach each other "how to cat" and learn to be more social with humans and people.

-You'll save two lives instead of one!
