My name is Sporty Spice!

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/  

Sporty Spice is a six-year-old sweetheart with a playful spirit and a big love for people. True to her name, she has plenty of personality, but her favorite moments are the quiet ones spent cuddling close to her humans. Whether she is sitting beside you, curled up on your lap, or even perched on your shoulders or head, Sporty Spice simply wants to be near the people she loves.

One of her most adorable habits is how she disappears into her blankets at bedtime. Her bed is filled with soft blankets because she loves to burrow underneath them until you can barely see her, only to pop her little head out to check on what is happening in the world around her. It is a routine that never fails to make people smile.

Sporty Spice absolutely adores people and would thrive in a home with adults or adults and older children who can give her the attention and companionship she enjoys. However, she does not like other cats and would need to be the only pet in the home so she can relax and feel completely comfortable in her space. We are unsure how she would do with dogs.

You can meet Sporty Spice at the ARF Cat Center inside the Wheaton PetSmart.

Sporty Spice is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained.

Her adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Sporty Spice, please fill out our Online Application today. Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will 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!
