Meet Chive
Chive is the goofiest of the Herbs litter. This little tabby girl is sure to melt your heart with her big, doe eyes and loud chirping purr. Chive is the true athlete of the family, leaping high into the air to catch a wand toy or running up the wall chasing the laser. Chive is every bit tender as she is wild. She loves to curl into a warm lap in mornings for a cup of coffee or to help you wind down at the end of the day. She is still learning that human arms are not for wrestling, but quickly stops with an “ow!” Chive would love to go home with her littermate Basil if possible. The two of them love to play, wrestle and cuddle together all day long and would be such a wonderful addition to any family.
We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why Chive 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!
Chive is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained.
Chive's adoption fee is $165. If you are interested in meeting her, 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.

If a cat or dog is on our website, it is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, submit a no-commitment application immediately. 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 until your application has been approved in approximately 3-5 business days.
We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.
A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we give priority to pre-approved applicants.
If you’re invited to meet an animal:
- Plan to arrive on time (or early), as we cannot hold animals for any reason.
- All human household members and dogs (if adopting another dog), must be present in order to be considered as a potential adopter.
Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
