🚨💔 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED FOR MICKLE & BYRDIE 💔🚨

Mickle and Byrdie have spent far too long at PetSmart in Wheaton, and while they are loved and cared for, what they truly need is a home. These bonded best friends deserve more than life in a cat center—they deserve cozy beds, sunny windows, quiet evenings, and the chance to simply be cats. 🐾

Extended stays in the cat center can be stressful, and we know they would thrive in a loving home environment. Keeping them together is incredibly important, and we're urgently hoping someone can open their heart to both of them. ❤️

Mickle has asthma and may occasionally require an inhaler during flare-ups, but don't let that intimidate you. If you are able to provide a short-term foster, we will guide you every step of the way. No experience is necessary.

✨ We will provide everything you need—all food, litter, supplies, and ongoing support. All we need is a safe space and loving hearts to help these two decompress and thrive.

If you have pets, we simply ask that they are up to date on their FVRCP and Rabies vaccinations.

🙏 For serious inquiries, please reach out to Stella directly at 331-702-0901. Even if you can't foster, sharing this post could be the reason Mickle and Mickie finally get the break they so desperately need.

They don't belong in a cat center—they belong in a home. 🩵

🎉🐾 It’s Gotcha Day Sunday! 🏡❤️

Nothing makes us happier than seeing our cats and dogs head home to the families they were always meant to find. Every adoption is a second chance, a new beginning, and the start of countless cuddles, adventures, and unconditional love.

To everyone who opened their hearts and homes this week—thank you for choosing rescue. We can’t wait to watch these happy tails continue their stories 🐶🐱✨

Happy Gotcha Day to all of our newest family members! Show them some love in the comments below! 🩵

🩵✨ Some cats just have a way of making you feel loved, and Jolene is one of them.

🎂 Age: 4–5 years old
🌸 Gender: Female
✂️ Spayed: Yes

This beautiful Siamese mix has been through a lot recently—she's recovered from her spay surgery and even had five teeth removed during a dental procedure—but through it all, she’s remained incredibly sweet, affectionate, and ready to start 💕

Jolene loves her Science Diet kibble, enjoys Sheba Cuts wet food, and comes with a little piece of home: her favourite toys, a cozy blanket, and some food to help make her transition easy 🧸🐾

All she’s missing is someone to love her as much as she’ll love them. Could that be you? 🥹🏡

UPDATE: Foster Found!! Thank you to those who reached out!

🚨 URGENT: TEMPORARY FOSTER HOME NEEDED ASAP 🚨

We urgently need to secure a temporary foster home for two beautiful and loving Russian Blue cats by Wednesday. Their family must move back to Portugal and, due to the circumstances, can no longer care for them during this transition. Soap is a sweet 6-year-old female, and Bubbles is a handsome 10-year-old male. Both are affectionate, well-mannered cats who have been cherished family members and deserve a safe, loving place to stay.

We are looking for a caring foster who can provide a temporary home while permanent arrangements are being made. Soap and Bubbles are friendly companions, and we would love to keep them together if possible. Time is extremely limited, and we need to find a foster placement immediately to ensure they remain safe and comfortable.

When you foster with us, you will receive support every step of the way. All foster applicants will complete a brief training and onboarding process, and we provide all necessary supplies and support for the cats while they are in foster care. If you currently have pets, they must be up to date on their rabies vaccinations.
Serious inquiries only.

If you can help these wonderful cats, please contact Stella at 331-702-0901 as soon as possible. Please share this post to help us find Soap and Bubbles a temporary foster home before Wednesday ❤️

⚠️Warning: Winnie has never met a stranger, an unattended snack, or a couch she didn’t love.

This 3½ year old Bernese Mountain Dog weighs 85 pounds and is one giant bundle of fluff, affection, and happiness, and comes already house-trained! Winnie loves people, gets along great with other dogs, and believes life is best enjoyed with treats, naps, and being as close to her family as possible.

This large but very gentle girl is great with children and loves to be in the center of all the action: heading out for walks, cuddling for some tv time, and happily providing quality control for your snacks.

Winnie was exposed to Lyme disease about a year ago but does not have active disease and is spayed, micro-chipped and ready to find her forever family! Apply today, approved applicants can schedule a meet with the family to make sure it’s a fit!

💕 Two tiny hearts, twice the love. 💕

Kurt is the kind of kitten who turns every day into an adventure. Whether he’s climbing onto your shoulder, investigating the kitchen, or making everyone laugh with his antics, he always wants to be where the action is 💙

Max is as sweet as she is beautiful, with her adorable heart-shaped marking and loving personality. She enjoys attention, playtime, and being close to the people she loves 🩷

🎂 Age: 3 months old
💙 Kurt 🚹 | 🩷 Max 🚺
🐱✅ Good with cats
🧒✅ Good with kids

These adorable kittens are looking for a forever home together. As young kittens, they benefit from having a feline companion to play with, learn from, and grow alongside. Keeping them together helps them stay happy, active, and well-socialized while providing each other comfort and companionship 🐾💕

An approved adoption application is required before meeting or adopting. This helps ensure that Max and Kurt are matched with a safe, loving home where they can thrive for years to come 🏡❤️

These bombshells will steal your heart… and your couch. They're ready to be closed off, are you? 🌴❤️‍🔥

Five pounds of fluff, infinite amounts of charm. 🐾

This shih tzu hasn't met a lap he doesn't love or a nap he won't curl into. At just 4 months old, he's already crate trained for bedtime, gets along beautifully with kids and other dogs, and is working hard on his potty training (he's getting better every single day!).

Playful one minute, snuggled up the next — he's the kind of puppy who turns "just looking" into "wait, can we keep him?"
Say hello to Leo. 🖤🤍

📍 Local to Illinois (within 100 miles of Wheaton/Glen Ellyn) due to his age
✅ Neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines

🤔The most adorable decision you will make this week; Eeny… Meeny… Miney… or Moe?❓

Why pick just one, when these four extra-cute siblings are officially available for adoption!?!

Born on 3/10/26 (3 months old):
🐈Eeny – Male
😽Meeny – Female
😺Miney – Male
🐈‍⬛Moe – Male

Like all kittens, they have two speeds: full-throttle chase & play sessions, and cuddle puddles. They spend their days pouncing, wrestling, and playing so hard that they eventually crash together in the sweetest little kitten pile.

These playful siblings would love a home with another cat to keep them company… or even better, a sibling! 🥰

Why adopt two kittens?
🧶 They keep each other entertained
🧶 Pairs prevent boredom & unwanted behaviors
🧶 Helps with social skills and “how to cat”
🧶You save two lives instead of one
🧶And let’s be honest- watching 2 kittens play together is pure FUN

Whether you’re looking for one tiny best friend or a dynamic duo, Eeny, Meeny, Miney, and Moe are ready to fill your home with love, laughter, and endless kitten antics🐾💜

Apply today and give these sweet siblings the happily-ever-after they deserve! ARF-il.org
