My name is
Shelby *front paw declaw*!

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/  

My story is a sad one as my owner had to go to a nursing home and the family didn't want me, so they put me in carrier and left me at the front door of the local Veterinary Hospital. They found me the next day took care of me until the local shelter could take me in. The whole ordeal was very stressful, but luckily ARF took me in as a rescue and things have gotten so much better.

It took me a few days to settle, but my foster tells me that I am a very sweet little girl. I love to sit next to her when we watch TV. I even little to sit on her lap and get pets if she stops I lightly touch her hand for more. I will make a great companion as I love to be near people.

Shelby truly is a petite little lady with the cutest little front legs. She truly will be a great companion. I am so happy she came out of her shell.  Shelby will be best as an only cat or with a very docile cat.  I do not care about dogs. If you are interested in Shelby please complete an application online. 

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

Shelby's adoption fee is $300.  If you are interested in meeting Shelby, 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!
