My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Please contact IB for more information about this pet.

Thanks for your interest in a pet from A.R.F.! If you see a pet here, they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/  



Introducing Dreamsicle, the charming and resilient 6-year-old male orange and white tabby who is FIV/FELV positive. Despite facing some health challenges, Dreamsicle embodies the true spirit of perseverance and is a shining example of unconditional love.

Dreamsicle may appear reserved initially, but once you earn his trust, you'll see his vibrant and social nature bloom in full splendor. This darling tabby thrives on forming deep connections with those who show him patience and affection. A little secret to winning his heart? Nourishing him with delicious wet food is the key to unlocking his affectionate and friendly side.

Whenever you enter the room, be prepared to be greeted with delightful conversations. Dreamsicle loves to share his thoughts and opinions, expressing himself through gentle meows and purrs. His unique voice adds a touch of personality to every interaction, turning your ordinary day into a memorable experience.

And who can resist indulging Dreamsicle in some well-deserved ear rubs? These affectionate gestures will undoubtedly solidify your bond and make you feel incredibly special in his eyes. While he adores being pampered, Dreamsicle prefers moments of being held to be brief and fleeting. It's a testament to his independent nature and serves as a gentle reminder that he values his personal space.

While FIV/FELV positivity presents its challenges, Dreamsicle proves that love conquers all. This admirable feline reminds us that life is about cherishing the beauty in every moment, and he radiates joy and resilience in every purr. If you're looking for a companion who will warm your heart, engage in meaningful conversation, and shower you with love, Dreamsicle is the perfect furry friend awaiting a forever home. With Dreamsicle's FIV/FELV diagnosis, Dreamsicle should be the only cat in the home or in a home with another cat that has the same diagnosis.

Dreamsicle is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered , and litter box trained.

Dreamsicle's adoption fee is $135.  If you are interested in meeting Dreamsicle , please fill out our Online Application today!  

Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.

Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation! We are  based in Wheaton, IL and conduct adoption events in the DuPage County area. If you are interested in adopting one of our pets, please submit an adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ 

Adoption appointments are scheduled based on the order of applications received, so submit your application early! Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions or schedule meetings until your application has been approved. More information about our adoption process can be found on our website here: https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/

As an all-volunteer, foster home-based organization, A.R.F. Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. Please visit https://www.arf-il.org/events/ for a list of our upcoming adoption events. 

Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop!
