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/  

Cadia is the sweetest cat with the saddest story to tell. She was found as a stray and taken to animal control – a place she found very scary. Cadia shut down while in the shelter and felt very stressed living in close quarters to all the other animals. She waited six long weeks hoping the right human would come along and save her and that’s where ARF stepped in. The moment she got into her foster home, she began to feel safe and loved – and that’s when she started to bloom. While we don’t know anything about Cadia’s life before being picked up on the street, it seems clear that she must have spent most of her life as a house cat, as she adjusted to home life very quickly. 

Cadia is the goodest girl and there is nothing that thrills her more than being snuggled up next to a person and getting pets. She loves looking out of windows and taking naps – she can often be found under a blanket taking a snooze. At night, she curls up next to her person to watch TV; she doesn’t care what the show is, as long as you are happy. Cadia is not overly playful and has done well with people of all ages (including toddlers, kids, adults and seniors). She would make a perfect companion in almost any home but would love to be Queen of the castle. Trust us, she has more than enough love to give!

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!
