We are so happy to have you as part of Chicago's Animal Care and Control Facebook community. We are a CACC Cat volunteer runpage using this platform to support CACC in the positive outcome of their cats and other small animals. Since you are here, we know you support the cause of homeless animals in Chicago. We encourage positive participation and hope you will help make this a constructi

ve forum focused on animal rescue and adoption. There are many ways to work with CACC to make a difference in the lives of animals including by volunteering at the shelter. By participating on this page, you are agreeing to the terms outlined below:
Please note, we reserve the right to delete comments and ban people from our page if we see posts containing the following:
• Profane or offensive language
• False and misleading information
• Off-topic (non-mission related) or inappropriate subject matter- Personal attacks and bullying
• Promotion of violence or illegal activities- Support for individuals or organizations that promote or are otherwise affiliated with animal cruelty and/or CACC hate groups
• Comments on personnel matters or legal cases involving particular individuals and animals
• Spam or commercial sales - misappropriation of Chicago Animal Care and Control logo, images, and copyrighted material
• A pattern of pledging on a cat and never following through with your donation
Bottom line: Please stay positive and focus your energy on helping the cats and critters. Comments not directly related to networking a cat for adoption or transfer may be deleted. We strongly encourage open discussion, but abusive language, bullying, or chronic harassment of Chicago Animal Care and Control employees, volunteers, and supporters is unacceptable. Although rescue work can be emotional, we have a zero-tolerance policy on drama. Please know that if you violate this policy, you will first be given a warning and if it happens again, you will be removed from our page for one week to cool off. After that, if there is a third violation of our policy, you will be banned from the page. Major violations will result in automatic banning without warning - no exceptions. If you have any questions or comments regarding our Facebook content, please message us or email us at [email protected]. Deleting negative comments and having to mediate any drama takes away from our mission of saving lives. Please don’t contribute to that kind of negativity. Thank you for all that you do. Please remember, those that do not abide by the code of conduct disappoint little kittens - don't disappoint little kittens!

Designations

Please note that each cat at CACC is set up with a pathway upon intake:

• Strays with ID - If the cat has a microchip or tag and the owner can be reached, CACC must hold the cat for seven days from the day the tag letter is sent, before making the cat available for adoption or rescue.
• Strays without ID - If no microchip or ID is found, a cat may be available for adoption or transfer immediately.
• Our stray hold policy is based on national Return-to-Owner data. Very few cats who go to shelters without an ID are reclaimed. We want to avoid unnecessary stress and find them their second chances as soon as possible.
• Other reasons for extended holds include abandoned in the home, owner taken to hospital, owner evicted, owner died, felony possession, prisoner property, Rabies observation (bite/scratch), or cruelty (for more details see MCC 7-12).
• As animals’ behavior and health status changes, their pathways may also change. We do our best to keep things up to date, but if you have any questions, just send us a DM. We try hard to respond within 24 hours, but please be patient as we are very busy.
• There are hundreds of dogs and cats (and often other animals like pot-bellied pigs!) who are waiting for their second chances and who would make wonderful pets at CACC, so if it doesn’t work out with the animal you had in mind, rest assured, we will likely be able to find you another one! Rescue/Foster/Adopt
Unless otherwise noted, most of the cats will be available for adoption to the public or transfer to a partner shelter or rescue group.
• If you are interested in adopting, go to Chicago.gov/CACC to learn more about the process.
• If you are interested in adopting or fostering a “rescue-only” cat featured on the page, please reach out to one of our approved Homeward Bound partners and apply to foster or foster to adopt.
• If you can't foster or adopt, please share & pledge for their care.
• A list of the groups that participate in the rescue program can be found here: Chicago.gov/CACC

IMPORTANT NOTE: Our goal is to provide as much information as we can based on the data collected upon intake and observations at the shelter. We can never guarantee the behavior or medical condition of any cat.

OWNER SURRENDER
Intake: 1/29/25
Video: https://fb.watch/xGk7j7jFlO/

All spice for now this little old lady is very stressed and upset at CACC. She lets you toss her treats and put some liquid treats nearby but any other interactions and she is batting .300. Poor old gal needs a quiet space to take her time to gain trust.

URGENT - MOM AND BABIES
MOM AND BABES - A288855-860
Female + 5 kittens/Age Unknown and Newborns
Stray
Intake 2/15/25

This Mom came in today with 5 newborn kittens. They were found outside while she was giving birth, but the finder didn't have a permanent place for them. Mom is friendly, and judging from how clean they are seems to be taking care of them well. Tiny kittens get sick easily so they need out ASAP before that can happen.

**Microchipped**
Spayed Female / Age 2 years
Owner surrender
Intake 2/12/25

**Behavior eval** *fully vetted by CACC* GORGONZOLA - A287648 Neutered Male / 5 years old Cage 119 Confiscate/Abandoned Intake 1/19/25 Out Date 1/25/25 Video: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15ucnSYJuq/ Gorgonzola came in as part of a confiscate case.

I was able to get a photo and reach out a hand without them reacting much.

RESCUED BY NAWS **Fully vetted for adoption** CINDERELLA - A288437 Female (spayed) / 2 yrs Stray/Field 3502 W North Ave. Intake 2/5/25 Video: 2/6 Medical update: Per the vets, she is not pregnant and seems to just have hormonal imbalance that led to hyper-developed mammary glands. Under observation over the next few moths. Cinderella was picked up by our field officers. It was reported that she was injured but discovered that she has mammary tumors. (pic in comments). She is a sweet, but scared girl right now, but who would blame her!

**Likely needs a single cat home** EUBBLIN - A288086 Male/4 yrs/Cage 46 Owner Surrender Intake 1/28/25 02/03 Update: it is very likely he wants to be head honcho wherever he lands but he does love people. He growls the whole time you give him treats, sprinkle catnip and let him roll around and pet him all over to try to work out some matting he has in his beautiful long hair. Not a hiss or a swat just a growly guy who talks a big game but is easy to love on. Eubblin is a large long haired cat who was an owner surrender. He is pretty scared and was hiding behind a box that I had to move to say hello. He sniffed me and I gave him a couple pets before he started growling, so I gave him space. His fur also has some matts, so he'll need grooming. He was surrendered because he does not like other resident cat/dog attacks them, attacks them when we give other pets attention
