My name is Colin!

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/  

I’m Colin and I was found in a woman’s yard. I'm a bit nervous but knew that street life was not for me! I let a woman pet me everyday while she was looking for somewhere to help me find my forever home. I’m nervous but am ready to stretch my wings and fly. I long for a place to call home. I don’t know why but I do let out a teeny tiny hiss when my foster approaches me but as soon as you start petting me I lean into the pet and can’t get enough. Then the purr machine revs up and you know i love my new safe life. I enjoy being held and I feel safe in my foster’s arms. A quieter home is ideal since I’m not a really confident cat. I would be fine in a home with kind cats or dogs. I enjoy to independently play with toys rather than to have someone try to use a string toy. I’m sure I’ll like them eventually but they are a bit in your face for me. Laser pointer toys are a different story. I do enjoy playing with that little red dot! Oh and my foster mom says these picks don’t do me justice so you’ll have to come check me out since I’m told the lighting during my photo shoot was subpar!

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

Colin's adoption fee is $135.  If you are interested in meeting Colin, please fill out our Online Application today!  

Once your application has been approved, an ARF 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!
