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/
Hi. I’m Byrdie. Yes, like the bird. No, I don’t fly — but I do launch myself at laser dots with impressive accuracy.
I’m a 3-year-old black-and-white professional good boy. My hobbies include:
Chasing the mysterious Red Dot (I’m close to catching it, I swear).
Battling wand toys with Olympic-level enthusiasm.
Making new cat friends.
Casually winning over dogs.
Accepting admiration from children like the celebrity I am.
I’m what you’d call “laid back.” I don’t start drama. I don’t steal lunch money. I simply vibe. I like being around my people — supervising, lounging nearby, and reminding you that you live here with me.
Other cats? Cool.
Dogs? We can hang.
Kids? Tiny humans are acceptable and often delightful.
Basically, I’m a friendly, go-with-the-flow kinda guy just looking for my forever crew. Preferably one with comfy couches… and a fully charged laser pointer.
Adopt me. I promise to pretend I don’t understand where the red dot goes
Byrdie is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered , and litter box trained.
Byrdie 's adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Byrdie, 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!
