Pepper

My story

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/   With her patchwork coat of gold, black, and ivory, Pepper is as striking as she is sweet. She’s a gentle, affectionate mama who lovingly raised her kittens, Negroni and Mimosa, and is now ready for a home where she can be the one spoiled with love. Pepper enjoys basking in sunny spots, leaning into your hand for slow head scratches, and quietly keeping you company while you go about your day. She’s delightfully chatty, greeting you with soft meows and carrying on little conversations as if she’s sharing her thoughts. She has a signature way of showing affection by gently bumping into your legs to ask for pets and happily following you from room to room. Although Pepper is usually all calm and cuddles, she LOVES to play, especially with wand toys and anything she can bat around, often breaking into bursts of kitten-like energy. Warm-hearted, loyal, and full of personality, Pepper has a way of making her people feel cherished, and she’s more than ready to become the center of someone’s world. Pepper is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained. Pepper’s adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Pepper, 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! August 9, 2025, 10:29 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Pepper, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
