Ethel
Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · Baby (4 months 10 days) · Female · Wheaton, IL
Notes from Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF-IL)
Ethel will be at the Darien Petsmart adoption event Saturday, October 31st from 11-2.
Ethel is fostered with her siblings Lexi and Alice.
Ethel's foster mom took in a pregnant stray cat and had her babies in the fosters' safe environment. The foster vetted the mom and she now has a permanent place in their family home. As much as they would have loved to keep all of the kittens, of course that was not possible. So now Ethel is looking for HER forever family and home. She would likely thrive better as an only cat in the home or be adopted with a sibling.
We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why Ethel would do well with a sibling or friend, including:
-Two kittens keep each other entertained - they will play and get all their energy out on each other in time for snuggles with you!
-Having two kittens to play with each other prevents "I'm lonely and bored" behavioral issues.
-Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see.
-The kittens will teach each other "how to cat" and learn to be more social with humans and people.
-You'll save two lives instead of one!
Ethel is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained.
Ethel's adoption fee is $165. Please note A.R.F. does not approve applications for any kitten under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL.
If you are interested in meeting Ethel, please fill out our online kitten adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ today!
Once your application has been approved, an A.R.F. volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.
