My name is Swiftee!

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/  

Hello, I am Swiftee, a stunning black panther-like short hair kitten, with maybe just a tiny hint of gray.  My foster’s granddaughter thinks I might have some Bombay in me based on my looks and personality.   Even the vet commented on how beautiful I am. Not only am I so very handsome but my foster mom says I am so, so sweet!  While we are all very sweet, I am incredibly special.  I love playing with my brothers but what I love the most is cuddling with my foster parents.  While I might pretend to be a little shy, once you pick me up, I just cuddle and purr and purr.   I am looking forward to my forever home and would love to have another kitten to play with.  I am used to having a big family since there are 5 of us kittens and lucky for us, we have had just the best mama (Misti Mae). You should check out my brothers, if you don’t already have someone for me to play with.  I’m sure as you know, two kittens are much better than one.  I am quite a food lover so would appreciate someone who agrees with how incredible food truly is.  I haven’t met any wet or dry cat food I haven’t liked. I love everyone I’ve met so far and am good with people, big and small, other cats, and dogs, once I get to know them.

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

Swiftee is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and litter box trained.

Swiftee’s adoption fee is $165. Please note A.R.F. does not approve applications for any kitten under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL.

If you are interested in meeting Swiftee, 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!
