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/

Hi! I'm Columbus and I'm currently residing at the Aurora PetSmart. I'm the cat who has a shark shape on my back! Come closer and see if you can see it! Me and my other cat friends are here waiting for a forever home where we can cat nap and play and get lots of attention! We came from a home where there were too many cats and no heat. We all get along here at the cat center and would be happy going home alone or with a cat friend. I like to play and run around. Love the wand toys! Won't you please give us a second chance!

Columbus is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered and litter box trained. Columbus' adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Columbus, 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.

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!
