Twirla - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Meet Twirla, a sleek little black kitten with a shiny short coat, adorable extra toes, and a sweet personality just waiting to blossom. Twirla is polydactyl, which means she has extra-special mitten paws that make her even cuter.

Twirla is playful and curious, but she can be a little shy at first while she figures out that new people are safe. Once she is being held, though, her sweet side starts to shine. With gentle handling, patience, and love, she relaxes and shows what a lovely little kitten she really is.

One of the fastest ways to Twirla's heart is through Churu treats — she absolutely loves them. They are a great way to bond with her and help her feel more confident.

Twirla would do best with a family who will give her a little time to settle in, plenty of playtime, and lots of gentle affection. If you are looking for a beautiful black kitten with cute extra toes, a playful spirit, and a soft, sweet heart, Twirla may be the little micro panther of your dreams. Twirla does ask that her new family adopts her with another kitten or have a friend or two (or more!) at home from her as she really needs a playmate and a kitty friend to snuggle with.
