About Carla

Late one night, Carla and her littermates were rescued from a car dealership parking lot, where their mom hadn’t returned for hours. The group, named after Cheers characters, settled in with a dedicated foster, but Carla’s brother Frasier didn’t join them until four anxious days later after being found alone—proof these siblings are tough and resilient. Carla is the only female in the batch: a small, brown and black mackerel tabby with a short coat and a confident streak. She’s grown up alongside her brothers, learning to be playful, clever, and friendly. Carla gets along well with other cats and would likely thrive if adopted with a sibling. She also does well with children ages 10 and up (some exceptions possible). Her adoption includes spaying, vaccinations, and a microchip. Carla’s sun sign is Leo, so expect a bit of boldness and affection. She’s located in Midway City, CA, and applications require a vet reference and home visit. Adoptions are limited to Orange County, CA and nearby areas. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
