About Arabella

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Meet Arabella! Arabella is a 2-year-old white and brown Aegean tabby with the most adorable crossed eyes—a whirlwind of charm, curiosity, and comedy. If you're hoping for a tranquil lap lounger, she may not be your match, but if you crave laughter and adventure, Arabella is ready to transform your daily routine into an action-packed event. This playful girl delights in entertaining herself and everyone around with rainbow “snakes,” plastic springs, toy mice, and especially crumpled paper balls—her personal Olympic sport. Nothing is off-limits in her world: she's been known to climb bookcases, inspect blinds, navigate counters, and turn toilet paper into elaborate artwork. With an explorer’s heart, she’s even tried using the toilet as her own swimming pool. Her spirited approach means no household mission is too outrageous for her to attempt! As the self-proclaimed Chief Ice Inspector and Official Appliance Supervisor, Arabella dashes straight to the icemaker at every sound, determined to monitor cube quality with diligence and flair. She is also an avid climber and enthusiastically uses her scratcher. With so much energy, Arabella thrives with one high-energy, playful feline buddy to chase and wrestle, but she prefers not to live among a large group of cats—one partner is plenty for her vibrant playstyle. Beneath her vivacious surface lies a sweet, snuggly soul. Arabella treasures lap time, purrs up a storm, and expertly makes biscuits as if she's running her own bakery. Her affection often ends with a gentle bop as she darts away—always with a flourish. She enjoys pets from behind, head and back scratches, and has adorable ideas about personal space. She's not a fan of being picked up and will let you know her limits, and sometimes gives a playful sneak-attack to let you know it's time for more fun. If you appreciate a silly, loving, and energetic companion who keeps you on your toes, Arabella would thrive in a cat-savvy home that enjoys interactive play and understands feline boundaries. For her happiness, a home with one other high-energy cat is ideal (her friend Cinnabon is available for adoption as well, with a special offer if you take both!). Children in the home should be 12 or older. Arabella is dewormed, spayed, fully vaccinated for distemper and rabies, combo tested negative, and microchipped with a lifetime registration. If you're searching for a cat to make you laugh, engage your heart, and bring delightful chaos to your days, Arabella could be your perfect match. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
