Hi! I’m Mickle. I’m a 7-year-old grey tuxedo gentleman with the softest heart to match my soft fur. I may be a little shy when we first meet — I like to take a quiet moment to make sure everything feels safe and calm. But give me just a little patience, and I’ll be leaning into your hand asking for pets before you know it.

Once I warm up, I absolutely love affection. Gentle head scratches? Yes, please. Soft pets down my back? Don’t stop. I’m very easy to handle and happiest when I’m near my people, soaking up calm, cozy attention.

I’m not one for loud parties or chaos — I prefer peaceful company and a home where I can relax and feel secure. If you enjoy quiet evenings, soft conversations, and a sweet companion by your side, I might be your perfect match.

All I really want is a warm lap, kind hands, and someone to love. I promise I’ll give that love right back

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/

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/

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.
