Girl Friday & Sidekick (*bonded pair)

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.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/   Girl Friday (or Momma, as we often call her) and her little buddy, Sidekick, might just be the cutest mother/son pair around.  These two love spending time together eating lots of treats and playing with as many toys as they can get their paws on.  Sidekick is quite the ham!  He is super silly and loves to run and jump, sometimes all over his momma.  Their absolute favorite toys are wand toys, especially the ones that have feathers at the end.  They will chase them until they are panting.  They have such great energy and are so full of life.    Momma is an amazing companion.  She loves to be held and carried around.  She can’t wait to explore everything and will often hide from her baby only to sneak attack him, sending him running.  Her fur is such an amazing color and she absolutely loves to be brushed.  Chin and neck scratches are her favorites.  She always wants to be around people and will provide great company.  Both she and Sidekick have tiny little meows and will use them to let you know when they want something, usually treats or love.   Unfortunately for this amazing duo, both mom and baby have tested positive for FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus).  DON’T LET THAT DETER YOU!! Instead, take a few minutes to educate yourself.  FeLV is species specific and only contagious to other cats.  It is not contagious to humans, dogs or other non-cat animals. These two must always be indoor cats and will need a complete and balanced diet to help them stay as healthy as possible.   FeLV positive cats can live a good 2-4 years after diagnosis, and sometimes even longer.  In some cases (around 30%), cats that have previously tested positive can fight off the disease and later test negative!   Our hope is that they can live out whatever fun-loving lives they have left in a home that will shower them with endless love.   Girl Friday & Sidekick are  micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered , and litter box trained. Girl Friday & Sidekick's combined adoption fee is $300.  If you are interested in meeting Girl Friday & Sidekick , 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 18, 2025, 4:43 pm
