Mercury

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/   I’m Mercury and I’m looking for a home with lots of play and pets.   I’m a boy with three things on my mind: pets, play, and paté, although not necessarily in that order. I’m an aggressive snuggler — when I want pets I’ll headbutt you so hard I fall over! My affection extends to other kitties too! I love to snuggle with the other cats in my foster home, even the ones who think I’m annoying. My favorite companion is Brownie, another ARF cat, because he can keep up with my cuddles and he likes to wrestle. When I’m not chasing or snuggling one of my friends, I like to show off my expert hunting skills. Back in the day I was an expert bird hunter, but now I’m content to watch them on Cat TV and pluck feathers out of cat toys. I now employ my skills as an insect exterminator and toy-catching acrobat.   I am cautious when I meet new people, but I’m the sweetest boy once I come out of my shell. I’m looking for a patient owner to bring out my snuggly side. I would be okay in a home with older kids, but I would prefer to live with only adults. I probably would not get along with a dog. I would like to go to a home with another cat so I always have a friend to sleep or play with. I get along very well with other friendly, snuggly cats.   If you’re looking for a friend for you and your cat, submit an application or visit me at an adoption event! Mercury   is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations,  spayed/neutered  , and litter box trained. Mercyry' s adoption fee is $  135   .  If you are interested in meeting  Mercury   , 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 13, 2025, 10:38 pm

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