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/
My name is Whiskers and I’m a big roly-poly who loves to lounge in your lap and soak up your love.
I may be a big kitty, but I’m a baby at heart. I love to snuggle into a warm lap and put my paws in the air to make air biscuits. I’m a little shy around new people, but if you let me approach you first I’ll crawl into your lap for love when I’m ready. Neck scritches are the fastest way to my heart, and when I’m happy I’ll show my love by standing on your lap and nuzzling your face. My foster mom says I’m a little on the chonky side, so I’ll love you forever if you brush me and scratch me in places I have a hard time reaching myself. I love to chase toys with feather and things that wiggle, so I’m starting to get in shape. I sometimes like to play with my foster siblings, but I can be overwhelming for them because I’m bigger.
I’m looking for a home where I can settle in and be your big baby. I would like an owner who will keep up with my exercise and diet. I don’t need my people to be around all the time, but when my humans are home I want to be close to them. I’m a little socially awkward around other cats so I’ll need help learning to be a good kitty sibling if you have or want another feline friend. I would be okay with a dog that mostly ignores me with a gradual introduction. I love to be loved, so I can live with kids too as long as they can give me space while I settle in.
If you’re ready to let the biggest, sweetest baby into your heart and home, submit an application today!
Whiskers is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed , and litter box trained.
Whiskers' adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Whiskers, 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!
