Adopt a Domestic Short Hair (short coat)

Domestic Short Hair (short coat) Cat

Arnie the Cat needs a home

Please contact ARF for more information about this pet.

We welcome specific questions. Due to high volume of applications, we may not be able to respond immediately. Your patience is appreciated.



If an animal is on our website, it is still available but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, it is in your best interest to submit an application immediately. Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal, but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. 


We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.


As an all-volunteer, foster home based organization, ARF does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we must give priority to pre-approved applicants.



Male, neutered, about 5 months old (as of February 2018), microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, currently in a foster home, will be making appearances at ARF Adoption Events (see http://www.arf-il.org/events.html or https://www.facebook.com/A.R.F.Illinois for times and locations), adoption fee $125.


Arnie is a lover boy.  He enjoys being around people, cats and dogs.  He is a wonderful mix of playful and cuddly.  He purrs with contentment when you hold him or pet him.  He almost always greets you when you walk in the room.  Arnie is an absolute delight to be around and will make an absolutely wonderful pet.  He loves balls that he can carry around in his mouth and any toy with a feather on it.  Can he call your home his forever home?


If you are interested in meeting Arnie, you can fill out an online adoption application at http://www.arf-il.org/application.html  Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting with the cat.  Filling out the application does not obligate you in any way.


Arnie will also be making appearances at ARF Adoption events.  See http://www.arf-il.org/events.html or https://www.facebook.com/A.R.F.Illinois for times and locations.



If you’re invited to meet an animal, plan to arrive on time or early,
as we cannot hold animals.


All household members must be present at time of adoption, including dogs.


 We appreciate your cooperation.
