Marge's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact AdBo 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/ FIV Positive Meet Marge, a gorgeous 3-year-old grey tabby, solid on her back and striped on her lower half. Marge is a low-key companion, but she still likes to play. At six years young, she’s moved past the frantic kitten crazies and perfected the art of the cozy lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a work-from-home buddy or a Netflix marathon partner, Marge is ready to clock in. Marge’s Fast Facts: Personality: Calm, steady, and sweet. Social Butterfly: She’s a flexible girl! She can be your "one and only" queen of the castle, or she’s happy to share her space with another friendly feline friend. Kid-Friendly: Marge has a gentle soul and is a great match for a home with children over age seven. The Great Unknown: She hasn’t met a dog yet, so she’d need a slow introduction if there’s a cat-friendly pup in the house. If you’re looking for a loyal friend to add some sparkle to your home, Marge is waiting for you. Marge is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained. Marge's adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Marge, 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. Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation!
