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.

These too are very skittish but weren’t hissy or swatting at all. We got right up close to them and they just moved away. We will try to get close up next time for some pets with the back scratcher. They were surrendered because their home had way too many cats. (Deck & Dice came in last month and another pair in January that have been rescued).

OWNER SURRENDER
Intake 3/25/25

Luna was still sending little hisses our way that she isn't ready for interaction. She does seem like she has cloudy eyes so we asked for a vet check. They surrendered her because they were moving and couldn't take her with them.
