Eclipse - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.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/

My name is Eclipse, and I’m a shy little sweetie.

I was found under a deck with my siblings, so I sometimes still find humans intimidating. I don’t like being grabbed, but I don’t mind some pets when I approach you. When I’m not sure about something or mildly inconvenienced I sometimes hiss, but that’s just how I say “no thank you”. I’m the most confident when I’m playing or following the lead of an older cat.

When I play, I hop around like a little jumping bean. Even though I’m the smallest, I still wrestle with all of my siblings. I tend to hang out near people, so you can always draw me in with treats or playtime. I love clicker training time, so I may learn to sit on command!

I’m looking for a patient adopter to draw out my snuggly side. Because I’m still a baby, I must go to a home with another cat. I’d do best in a home with a confident, friendly cat that knows your routine or one of my sisters (Astra, Nova, or Gibbous). I do not like dogs.

If you’re looking for a kitten that’s out of this world, submit an application today!

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why
Eclipse
would do good with a 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!

Eclipse
is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations,
spayed
, and litter box trained.

Eclipse
'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.
