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/  

Nikko[le] began her journey at ARF after being relinquished to a shelter with her sibling [Villanelle] and her mom [Eve]. When she arrived, she had an upper respiratory infection, and although they were sick, they were very loving. It was easy to tell that they once had a human who loved and cared for them very much, as they quickly took to their foster mom. Nikko[le]’s ARF name is Nikko because when she first got to her foster home, she was named Nikko until they found out she was female and so we now call her Nikko[le]. Over the last few weeks, Nikko[le] has really grown into her personality! She loves to chase, pounce, and play with her sister Villanelle, even though sometimes her sister scares her and causes her to puff her little tail up for a few minutes before going back to running, chasing, and playing. Nikko[le] has one littermate who also has not yet been adopted, which is another female kitten, named Villanelle, who she loves to tackle, wrestle, play, and cuddle with. If you are interested in two kittens, they would make a great pair to be adopted together! If you are only looking for one kitten, she will likely be good in a home with another animal, as many cats and kittens enjoy having another furry companion, especially since she is still young and will want to play. 

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why Nikko 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 potential "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!

Nikko is a 5 month old female who is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained.

Nikko's adoption fee is $150. If you are interested in meeting Nikko, 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.

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!
