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/

Bridget is equal parts charm and curiosity, with a personality that gently unfolds the more time you spend with her. The moment she feels safe, she melts, flopping over for pets, leaning into affection, and showing just how much she enjoys human connection. There is a playful and easygoing spirit in her that makes every interaction feel light and genuine, like she is simply happy to be in the moment with you.

Like Liberty, Bridget came from DuPage County, and the two are believed to have shared life together before arriving at the shelter. Their separation during intake created some initial distance, and they are still navigating that adjustment. But when they are able to spend time together outside of their spaces, a different side of Bridget emerges, one that plays, explores, and reconnects in a way that hints at a deeper bond still there beneath the surface.

Bridget would do beautifully in a home that offers both love and patience. She has already proven how affectionate and trusting she can be, and as she continues to settle in, her personality will only shine brighter. She can be good with other cats with slow and proper introductions. She is currently unknown with dogs, but with slow and thoughtful introductions, it can absolutely become a smooth and positive transition.

Whether she is lounging by your side or rediscovering her connection with Liberty, Bridget is ready for a fresh start filled with comfort, care, and a place to truly call home. She would love a family who is patient, understanding, and open to the possibility that her bond with Liberty may continue to grow over time

Bridget is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained. Bridget’s adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting her, please fill out our Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.
