You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact SM 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/<br/>Meet Rochester, a charming and clever kitten with a lot of love to give. Here are some of her wonderful traits:<br/><br/>1. Exceptionally Smart: When it’s mealtime, Rochester will remind you with her adorable meows and even roll over for a belly rub while begging. Once she's been gently scolded for certain behaviors, like jumping on tables, nibbling plant leaves, or sneaking into slightly open rooms, she learns quickly and doesn’t repeat them. In the mornings, she won’t scratch at doors or loudly demand food — she waits patiently until she hears your alarm or you waking up, softly meowing only then.<br/><br/>2. Not a picky eater—she transitions to new food without fuss.<br/><br/>3. Plant-friendly—she won't chew on your greens, living harmoniously with house plants.<br/><br/>4. Furniture-friendly—she respects your furniture by keeping her scratching to her scratch pole.<br/><br/>5. Gentle and Sweet — she purrs and kneads instantly when petted. While she might hiss if startled, she doesn’t scratch or bite and is comfortable with having her nails trimmed.<br/><br/>6. Brave and adventurous — she loves exploring different areas of the house and doesn't shy away by staying hidden in her hut.<br/><br/>7. A lover - she has been around a bunch of other cats her entire life and would love to go to a home with a friendly feline or to be adopted out with one of her cat friends at ARF, like Champaign!<br/><br/>Rocheser is eagerly waiting to find a loving home that values her unique personality and adorable quirks. If you’re looking for a well-behaved companion with a lot of love to offer, Rocheser could be your perfect match!<br/><br/>Rochester is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained.

We are<br/>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/<br/><br/>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/<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop!
