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 MF 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, my name is Bonzo and I am a gorgeous black 7 year old boy who is front paw declawed. My previous family called me Bonnie. I'm the cutest black cat you ever did see and my personality is like a dog. I follow you around and make chirping sounds and demand pets (I especially love belly rubs). I'm very easy going, I love people, and I warm up very quickly. I have never bitten anyone. I have lived with another cat and a 3 year old but I need a stress-free and quieter home. No cats, dogs, or kids is what I would prefer and if you can give me a lot of attention, that's an added bonus! I am on special food, but it's not prescription. Let me know if I sound like the cat for you!

Bonzo is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, and litter box trained. Bonzo's adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in meeting Bonzo, please fill out our online 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.

Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

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!
