My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Please contact DL for more information about this pet.

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/  



Murray is a handsome male 8 month old tabby.  He has been great with other foster kittens  and he is the first to come play when you are ready to wave the wand. When not playing you might find him curled up on your lap or in front of a window watching the birds outside.  He loves to play, but he can also be chill.  Murray eats some wet food, but really prefers dry.  He would be ok as an only cat in the home as long as his new family takes the time to play with him. Murray has been overlooked too long....he really needs his forever family to find him.  He is hesitant with new people, but once he gets to know you, he is AWESOME! 

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs!  There are several reasons why Murray would do well 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!

Murray is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered , and litter box trained.

Murray's adoption fee is $135.  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 Murray, 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!
