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 KHen 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/  



Hello, we are Sabrena’s kittens, Sonny & Sissy a.k.a. Siskal. The Sissy a.k.a. Siskal story is our foster mom thought I was a girl.  But surprise, I’m a boy, so we are brothers, not sister and brother like she initially thought. We are stunning, black with some white, actually Siskal is a mini me of our mama with his white crest. We were born outside and were the only two kittens that survived out of the 5 of us so we are pretty smart and fairly hearty to have survived out in the wild.  Our mama moved us to an outdoor shed (she’s just the best) and a nice lady helped her with us until we were rescued by our foster mom. We are quite the little family, the two of us with our mama, and we play together, hang out, sleep together and all love each other very much. 

While we might pretend to be a little shy, until we get to know you, once you pick us up, we just cuddle and purr and purr.  We never knew how nice it is to be petted and have grown quite fond of it.  And, actually, we found cuddling is amazing too. If you rub Sonny’s cheeks, he is as happy as can be.  We are fairly chatty, especially when it’s time to eat, and have multiple sounds we make, depending on what we’re saying.

We are quite the food lovers so would appreciate someone who agrees with how incredible food truly is. We haven’t met any wet or dry cat food we haven’t liked. Of course, we love all toys and like the cardboard scratcher boxes.

We’ve been with our foster mom since August 7, 2024, and it’s been so nice to have had the time to get acclimated to being indoors.  But we are now ready for our forever home. Being kittens, we think we’d adapt and be good with other cats, big and little people, and possibly, dogs, once we get to know them.  Sonny and Siskal are  microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered  and litter box trained. Sonny and Siskal’s  adoption fee is $330.00 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 Sonny and Siskal  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!
