Charlie

My story

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, it is so nice to meet you! I’d like to introduce myself…I’m Charlie and I’m looking for my forever home! The most important thing to know about me is that I adore kids! I used to live with two younger kids who would pick me up, snuggle with me, and carry me around with them. And I absolutely loved it. The attention was amazing and it taught me how to be a gentle soul. But even if you don’t have kids, I am also great with adults!  For food, I’m happy to eat anything you have. But as a special treat, I am sometimes given freeze dried fish, and I am obsessed with that! It was like a piece of candy to me. In addition to people and food, I also love to chase toys and little balls around the house. I have some scratching posts that I use from time to time and you can usually find me curled up in a cat bed or on your couch/bed. I often look out the windows at home so no worries if you have to leave the house for work during the day – I am more than happy to entertain myself while you’re gone. When it’s sunny outside, you can often find me sunbathing (inside of course) and soaking up the rays. I am also a good snuggler and would be a good lap cat. I am a big fan of being brushed too – it’s like a mini massage.  Charlie is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained. Charlie’s adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Charlie, 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! August 10, 2025, 10:01 pm

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