Meet Chef Josh
Meet Chef Josh, the 6-year-old Tortoiseshell who is ready to serve up a lifetime of love!
Don't let the name fool you—this beautiful kitty is all lady, though she does have a "head chef" personality. Chef Josh is a people-person through and through. Whether she’s sitting right in your lap or parked right next to you on the couch, she just wants to be part of the conversation.
The Dish on Chef Josh:
A Five-Star Companion: She is excellent with children and thrives on human attention.
Solo Artist: Chef Josh needs to be the "Only Cat" in the kitchen. She isn’t looking for feline roommates—she wants all your love for herself!
The Tortie Look: She has that classic, colorful tortoiseshell coat and plenty of affectionate "Tortitude."
Where to meet her:
Chef Josh is currently the guest of honor at the A.R.F. Cat Center inside the Wheaton PetSmart. She’s tired of "takeout" and is looking for a permanent reservation in a loving home.
Stop by to see her this week—she’s already prepped the cuddles, she just needs you!
Chef Josh is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained.
Chef Josh's adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Chef Josh, 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.

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

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!
