My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact TM 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 Whiteriver and my life has been a bit turbulent as some rivers can be. I grew up with so many cats. Therefore I must go to a home that already has cats or be adopted with another cat. Cats in the home make me feel safe and secure. I had humans who cared for me, but there were just too many cats in the home compared to the number of humans so I didn’t get a lot of attention. I am ready to get the love and attention that I deserve. Then my life will be like a smooth calm flowing river. I need a quiet home to succeed. If you have a bit of  patience my foster feels I will be the lap cat of your dreams.  Am still learning to ask for love and attention. I will likely hide for a bit so at the beginning a small room where we can get used to each other will really help me. I hope you are willing to take a chance on me because I’m ready to be part of a family! Whiteriver has two siblings Maricopa and Chula Vista. He would love to go home with both!  Whiteriver  is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, and litter box trained. Whiteriver's adoption fee is $ 135.  If you are interested in meeting  him, 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! June 17, 2025, 1:19 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Whiteriver, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
