About Arabella

Meet Arabella, a two-year-old white and brown Aegean tabby with an unforgettable set of crossed eyes and an endless supply of mischief. She is pure energy and curiosity, not content to just observe household life but determined to make herself part of every adventure. Forget about a low-key cat who blends into the furniture; Arabella is ready to turn your home into her playground. She will find amusement in rainbow “snakes,” springs, toy mice, and especially crumpled paper balls, which she chases with Olympic determination. Bookshelves, blinds, counters, and even the toilet itself have all seen her investigate them firsthand. She’s also found a personal mission as Chief Ice Inspector, appearing like clockwork whenever the icemaker sounds off, ready to assess every cube. Arabella loves zooming, climbing, and exploring, but she has a sweet side, too; she’ll curl up in your lap, purring and baking kneaded biscuits with surprising tenderness. She has clear opinions about petting (head and back scratches only please) and likes to initiate affection—expect her to dash off with dramatic flair once she's decided cuddle time is over. Sometimes she’ll give your legs a quick bop for attention, usually meaning it’s time to play. She thrives best with a playful cat companion but not a whole crowd, and she prefers a home with older kids (12+) who understand feline quirks and boundaries. Arabella is dewormed, spayed, vaccinated, combo tested, and microchipped. If you want a smart, comical cat who will make you laugh daily and challenge every dull moment, Arabella is the one to meet. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
