Adopt a Domestic Short Hair (short coat)

Domestic Short Hair (short coat) Cat

Gracie 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.



Female, spayed, about 1.5 years old (as of February 2018), microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, currently at the Wheaton PetSmart (63 Rice Lake Square Wheaton, IL 60187, 630-462-7345), adoption fee $110.


This adorable little girl is our Gracie!  She was surrendered a couple days before Christmas when her owners thought she might be pregnant.  She ended up not being pregnant, so now she has been spayed and is ready for a forever home of her own.  She is a little nervous at first, but she quickly warms up to people and loves to play with toys that have little balls involved.  She seems to get along with other kitties and does seem like she would love to have a kitty friend.  She seems to prefer her foster dad over her foster mom, and while she has not been exposed to children in her foster home, we think she’d do better with older kids than younger children.  Gracie is a sweet little kitty who is so ready for humans to call her own.


If you are interested in Gracie, you can meet her at PetSmart, 63 Rice Lake Square Wheaton, IL 60187, (630) 462-7345 during store hours http://stores.petsmart.com/Store/Details/1376


You can fill out an online adoption application at http://www.arf-il.org/application.html  Filling out the application does not obligate you in any way. A completed application is required if you decide to adopt a cat.



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.
