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! My name is Dorie, and I'm patiently waiting for my forever home.

I'm a gentle, affectionate girl with a soft heart and the loudest purr you'll ever hear. I absolutely love pets and ear scratches—and I’ll even gently paw you to ask for more attention! My favorite spot is perched in my cat tree, watching the world go by outside. I also have the most unique fur, with a beautiful black streak running down my back that makes me truly one of a kind.

I’ve come a long way from where I started and have truly blossomed in a loving home. I’m a total sweetheart who thrives on gentle affection—I’ll happily curl up in your lap or nudge you when I’m ready for attention. I may be a little shy at first with new people, but with patience and kindness, I open up into a loyal and loving companion. With the right introduction, I can get along wonderfully with other cats. I’m playful at heart and full of personality—especially with that signature black streak!

I’m currently with my foster but I am looking for a calm, loving forever family who will give me time to settle in and feel safe. If that sounds like you, fill out an application to adopt me and make me part of your family. I can't wait to find a cozy lap and a warm heart to call home.

Dorie is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained.

Dorie's adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Dorie, 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!
