Granny Gertrude (front declawed)

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact ChLe 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/   Meet Granny Gertrude! Granny is an incredibly affectionate, sweet, and sassy senior girl who came to ARF when her owner passed away. She has had quite the journey battling a severe UTI, working on gaining weight, and finding happiness in her world again. We lovingly call her "roomba" as she has a sweet little shuffle walk she uses to explore all over. Granny has even started to play again with kicker and wand toys! She loves to talk with the softest meows but has no problem yelling if she isn't happy about something. She will demand attention with the softest boops of her paw, lay her head across your arms, or give gentle kisses. Granny is looking for a very special home that will be happy to accommodate her special needs. As part of her health journey, Granny went all the way to the vet school at University of Wisconsin. There she was diagnosed with a condition called Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC). FIC is manageable but can be triggered by stress. Due to this, Granny needs a home that is calm, consistent, and where she will be the only pet. It would be preferred to have someone home with her on a regular basis such as someone who is retired or works from home. She is on a special bladder diet she will need to continue with and will require medication to manage her symptoms. Granny is a wonderful lap cat who's love is worth well beyond what her new home will need to give. She is front paw declawed, extremely gentle, and might do well with a senior human! If you would like to learn more about Granny, her foster mom would love to tell you! Apply today!  Granny  is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations,  spayed/neutered  , and litter box trained. Granny 's adoption fee is $75.  If you are interested in meeting  Granny , 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.

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 13, 2025, 4:28 pm
