Story

Meet the pepper trio — Serrano, Pepperoncini & Cayenne — three adorable siblings with big personalities and even bigger hearts! These sweet kittens are friendly, playful, and full of love. They spend their days chasing toys, wrestling together, and lounging in their favorite cat tower watching the birds go by. When playtime is over, they turn into professional cuddlers with nonstop purrs and the very best biscuit-making skills around. Each kitten has their own unique charm, but they all share the same loving, affectionate nature. They would absolutely love to be adopted in pairs so they can continue growing up together, but they can also thrive as single kittens in a loving home, as long as there is another friendly, existing cat in the home to be their companion. If you’re looking for a playful companion, a snuggle buddy, and endless entertainment, Serrano, Pepperoncini, and Cayenne are ready to spice up your life with love! Interested in meeting the kittens? All our cats are in foster homes as we do not have a facility where people can come and meet the cats at any time. The first step is to complete our online application at the link below. Once we have an approved application we can set up an appointment for you to meet them.

Story

Pippi is a six-year-old tabby. This sweet girl has been bounced from home to home up until now, and after quite the journey from Michigan down to Illinois, she is more than ready to finally settle into a place she can truly call her own. Pippi is a delightfully chunky lady, weighing in at a cuddly fourteen pounds — and despite her size, she has the tiniest, most endearing little meow. Each morning she’s happy to greet you with soft chirps, letting you know she’s ready to start the day by your side. She is cat friendly and previously lived with small children. Pippi is hoping for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe, cherished, and permanent at last. If you’re looking for a gentle companion with a big heart and a tiny voice, Pippi may be your perfect match.

Story

Haylee is a one year old tortie with a big personality and an even bigger love for attention. This sweet girl was found as a stray at a local animal control back in April, and now she’s ready to leave shelter life behind for a home of her own. Haylee absolutely thrives on affection. She will happily soak in every compliment, chin scratch, and pet you have to offer. If you sit down, don’t be surprised if she’s instantly in your lap or weaving around your feet asking for more love. She’s the kind of cat that wants to be near her people as much as possible. When it comes to mealtime, Haylee is especially excited for wet food and proudly keeps her plate spotless every time. She also does well with other cats, making her a wonderful addition to a home looking for a friendly feline companion. With her beautiful tortie colors, affectionate nature, and loving personality, Haylee is more than ready to find a family that will spoil her with all the pets and cuddles she deserves.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact ChLe 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/ Meet Godfather — the tiny house panther with a heart of gold! This handsome all-black kitten is as sweet as they come and absolutely lives for cuddle time. Godfather is always purring, especially when he’s being held close or curled up in your lap soaking up attention. He’s the kind of kitten who melts right into your arms and makes himself at home wherever his people are. When he’s not snuggling, you can usually find him happily batting around his favorite catnip toys and showing off his playful side. Godfather has the perfect mix of affectionate and fun, and he’s ready to bring endless love, purrs, and tiny black-kitten charm to his forever family. We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why Godfather would do good with a friend, including: -Two kittens keep each other entertained - they will play and get all their energy out on each other in time for snuggles with you! -Having two kittens to play with each other prevents "I'm lonely and bored" behavioral issues. -Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see. -The kittens will teach each other "how to cat" and learn to be more social with humans and people. -You'll save two lives instead of one! Godfather is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered , and litter box trained. Godfather 's adoption fee is $165. Please note A.R.F. does not approve applications for any kitten under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL. If you are interested in meeting Godfather , please fill out our online kitten adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ today! Once your application has been approved, an A.R.F. volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. 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.
