My name is Zazu!

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 Zazu, the ultimate mix of chaos and cuddles! This playful black kitten is full of personality and energy, earning him the affectionate nickname "The Criminal." Zazu loves to go wild with string toys, tiny mice, and anything that moves, zooming around the house with endless enthusiasm. After a big play session, though, he turns into a complete sweetheart, climbing onto your chest and purring contentedly for hours while you pet him.

Zazu is confident, dog-friendly, and would be a great fit for a family with children of all ages who can keep up with his playful energy. While he would love to be adopted with his sister, Nala, he’d also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only feline companion, soaking up all the love and attention you can give. If you’re looking for a kitten who will keep you laughing, entertained, and loved, Zazu is your guy!

Together, Zazu and Nala make the perfect pair—balancing Zazu’s wild antics with Nala’s gentle nature. They would love to grow up side by side in a home full of love, but they can also adapt separately if the right family comes along. Could you be Zazu’s forever home?

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why  Zazu would do good with a friend, including:

   - Two kittens keep each other entertained - they will play and get all their energy out on each other in time for snuggles with you!

   - Having two kittens to play with each other prevents potential "I'm lonely and bored" behavioral issues.

   - Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see.

   - The kittens will teach each other "how to cat" and learn to be more social with humans and people.

   - You'll save two lives instead of one!

Zazu  is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, and litter box trained.

Zazu's adoption fee is $165. If you are interested in meeting Zazu, please fill out our online kitten adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ today!

Once your application has been approved, an A.R.F. volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.

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!
