About Arla

Arla is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves the simple things in life: a comfy place to sleep, plenty of affection and, most importantly, food! She can be timid at first, but once settled she is a loving, easy-going companion. Arla is used to children, is particularly comfortable around women and is perfectly happy being left alone for periods of time. Arla previously lived with her twin sister, Luna, before she sadly passed away. She now mainly remains inside, although she is used to having access to a cat flap and will occasionally venture outside to toilet. She is also fully litter trained. Food is definitely the way to Arla’s heart! She loves wet food, particularly Sheba and Gourmet, with some dry food too. She does have a sensitive tummy, so cheaper foods are best avoided as they can cause an upset stomach. She’s well behaved at the vets, has no known medical conditions and isn’t destructive around the home. Grooming isn’t exactly her favourite activity, but she’ll tolerate it when she has to! Arla is a lovely, low-maintenance companion looking for a comfortable home where she can settle in, snooze to her heart’s content and keep a close eye on the food cupboard. 🐾
