My favorite toy:  Pipe Cleaners

My best buddy:   Secretariat

My Story:

My buddy Secretariat and I were surrendered to Animal Control by our owner for reasons unknown. Secretariat, took it pretty hard and me, well, I was just terribly sad.  We were loved and cared for very well.  It just doesn’t make any sense.  We are great boys and didn’t deserve to be in cages.  I’m so happy and thankful to now be in a foster home but I’m really looking forward to a forever home. 

I’m outgoing and super friendly and will purr non-stop while you pet me.  I enjoy being brushed.  Even though I’m a little awkward at being picked up, I love to snuggle up against you and on you.   So what’s not to love?  Don’t I have an adorable face?  If you looking for a kitty that just wants to be around you, I’m your guy. 

I’m also very good with other kitties.  In fact when I met the other fosters, I was very chivalrous and always let them go ahead of me and I would also give up the food to them if I was eating and they showed up.   They warmed up to me quickly and we now play quite a bit.  They are smaller than me, so I’m always very gentle with them.

If you have room for two, check out my buddy Secretariat….we get along famously and really like to play together.  He’s certainly the entertainer, while I’m the smart one.

If you are interested in meeting Barbaro, you can fill out an online adoption application at http://www.arf-il.org/application.html  Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting with the cat.  Filling out the application does not obligate you in any way.

Barbaro will also be making appearances at ARF Adoption events.  See http://www.arf-il.org/events.html for times and locations.

 

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!
