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 Checkers!  

Checkers is an irresistibly sweet gray tabby boy with the softest stripes and the biggest heart. Though he’s small for his age, his personality more than makes up for it! He absolutely adores the company of other cats — especially older ones — and he’ll let out his adorable little meow to make sure they know he’s ready for snuggles and playtime.

Checkers is wonderfully cuddly and still has that kitten-like innocence that melts your heart. He loves to curl up with his feline friends (and his humans too!) and would thrive in a home with other cats who don’t mind a loving shadow following them around.

If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate little buddy with a soft purr and a big love for family, Checkers is waiting to steal your heart!   ✨

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why  Checkers  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!

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

His adoption fee is $165. If you are interested in meeting Checkers, 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!
