Meet Thunder

Hello, I am Thunder and, am a beautiful brown and black tabby kitten, with the most beautiful markings ever, or so my foster mom says. My brother Storm looks a lot like me too though he is a little bigger. While we are all very sweet, I think I have the most fun, even if I initially present as a little shy. I’m also quite active, running around, pouncing and prancing, playing with everything, etc. until I’ve worn myself out, then I crash and fall asleep.

I am quite social and do talk, though very politely, with soft meows until you feed or pet me as I purr and purr. I am looking forward to my ‘forever home’ and would love to have another kitten to play with. I am used to having a big family since there are 4 of us kittens and lucky for us, we have had just the best mama (Raine, a Maine Coon mix). You should also check out my brother and sisters, if you don’t already have someone for me to play with. I’m sure as you know, two of us are much better than one.

Of course, I love to play with toys, such as boxes, glitter balls, wands, strings, rubber bands, etc. or whatever. I’m also a fan of cardboard scratchers. And, watching birdie shows on TV or having a window to be able to watch outside, hopefully isn’t too much to ask for. I am quite a food lover so would appreciate someone who agrees with how incredible food truly is. I haven’t met any wet or dry cat food I didn’t like. I love

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs!  There are several reasons why Thunder 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 "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!

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

Thunder's adoption fee is $165.  Please note A.R.F. does not approve applications for any kitten under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL.

If you are interested in meeting Thunder, 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.

Thunder is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. Learn more about our pet adoption process.

All pets adopted from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation include the following as part of their adoption fee:

  • Spay/neuter or a certificate for a low-cost spay/neuter when medically recommended
  • Microchip and registration, a permanent identification to reunite lost pets with their owners
  • Initial de-worming and flea and tick treatment
  • Age-appropriate testing for heartworm/FIV-FELV
  • Age-appropriate vaccines
  • Pre-adoption medical exam
  • A certificate for a free healthy pet exam at one of A.R.F.’s participating veterinarians within 7 days of adoption
  • Offer for a no-risk 30 day free trial with Trupanion pet medical insurance

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!
