Twirly is a gentle soul who is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. When you first meet her, she may come across as shy and a little scared, choosing to observe quietly from a distance. But beneath that timid exterior is a sweet girl who simply needs time, patience, and a calm presence to truly feel at ease. She thrives in environments where energy is soft, movements are gentle, and love is given without pressure.

She came to us from DuPage County alongside her brother, who has since found his forever home. Now, it is Twirly’s turn to find someone who will see her for who she is and give her the chance to blossom. With time, she begins to open up in the most beautiful ways, showing glimpses of trust, curiosity, and quiet affection. Those small moments feel extra special, because they are earned through patience and understanding. She is currently located at the Naperville PetSmart, waiting patiently for her person to find her

Twirly does well with other cats when given slow and proper introductions, and she may even find comfort in a feline companion. Dogs are currently unknown, but as always, a thoughtful and gradual introduction can make all the difference. She would do best in a home that is calm, graceful, and willing to move at her pace. Twirly may take a little time, but for the right person, she will be a deeply rewarding and loving companion

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

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.
