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/  

Castaway is an approximately 1-year-old adult male domestic shorthair. We don’t know his history, as he was unfortunately dumped in a box at the A.R.F. Wheaton office one Saturday morning. Castaway may take some time to get to know new people and places, but once he’s comfortable he loves to explore his surroundings and can barely be confined to a space. He loves playing with his cat dancer and chasing flies. He can be very talkative, especially when he wants attention. Castaway is not really a lap cat but when he lays down next to you, he is very fond of head, chin, and cheek scratches. He really can be very affectionate. He doesn’t like being petted much on his back and if he’s annoyed with you he may try to run away or lightly nip you, but he has never lashed out. Castaway can be a bit skittish around loud or unusual sounds. He is an indoor cat and has no issues with using his litter box. If you would like an affectionate, smart, and active cat, Castaway is perfect for you.  He has not been tested with other cats or dogs.  Likely best as an only cat in the household where he can absorb all of the love and attention himself.

Castaway is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, and litter box trained.

Castaway’s adoption fee is $135.  If you are interested in meeting Castaway, 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!
