Meet Bella
Bella has spent so much of her young life taking care of others. Now, at 2 years old, it’s finally time for someone to take care of her.
Bella came to us as a young mama with her newborn kittens after going through more change than any cat should have to experience. Despite everything she faced, she remained gentle, trusting, and incredibly loving. She devoted herself to raising her babies, and now that they’ve grown, Bella is officially done with mom duty and ready for the next chapter: finding her own purrever family.
Bella is truly one of those cats who makes it difficult to understand why she’s still waiting. She is sweet, calm, affectionate, and friendly, with a personality that makes her a wonderful companion. She enjoys spending time with her people, receiving affection, and simply being part of the family.
One of Bella’s greatest qualities is just how wonderful she is with children. She is very good with kids and could be an amazing addition to a family looking for a loving feline companion to grow up alongside them.
Bella can also live with other cats, but she needs what every cat deserves when meeting a new feline friend: patience. With slow, proper introductions and enough time to feel comfortable, we believe Bella can adjust beautifully and thrive in a home with another cat. And somehow, after everything, Bella is still waiting.
She has already given so much love to her babies. She deserves a home where that same love is finally poured back into her. A home where she can settle in, feel safe, be spoiled, and never have to wonder where she belongs again.
Bella is currently waiting at PetSmart Naperville for her purrever family. Stop by and spend some time with her. The sweet mama who spent so much time caring for everyone else might just be the missing piece of your family.
Bella is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained. Bella’s adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting her, 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.

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 all of 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 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!
