Patience

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact AS for more information about this pet.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/   Meet Patience – A True Queen in Every Sense   Patience is a stunning long-haired calico with a petite frame, a calm spirit, and a heart full of love. As the devoted mama to the Virtue Litter—Honor, Wisdom, Wonder, and Grace—her name couldn’t be more fitting. She has poured every ounce of her gentle nature into raising her babies, always ensuring they are safe, well-fed, and deeply loved.   Patience is the picture of maternal grace. She’s sweet, affectionate, and often seeks out gentle pets and scratches. She’ll hop into your lap or sit nearby for a bit of company—until mom duty calls, or she needs a few moments of peace and quiet (as all moms do). She’s never far, though, and if you call her name, she’ll come running with her soft, floofy tail and soulful eyes.   Despite her elegant demeanor, Patience has a mischievous streak—especially when it comes to pizza. Don’t let her dainty size fool you; this girl once nabbed an entire slice of Lou Malnati’s deep dish and made a break for it like a true Chicago legend.   While she may not always pose for the camera (busy moms rarely do), meet her in person and you’ll see—she radiates beauty inside and out. Once her sweet kittens are settled into their forever homes, Patience will be ready for her own chapter of rest, love, and well-earned pampering.   Give this incredible mama the peaceful, loving home she so deeply deserves. She’s ready to be someone’s cherished companion—not just a mom, but a star in her own right.   Patience is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations,  spayed/neutered  , and litter box trained.   Patience's adoption fee is $135.  If you are interested in meeting Patience, please fill out our Online Application today!   Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.   Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation! We are  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.  Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop! July 21, 2025, 12:17 pm
