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

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.

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.

Intake: 11/18/24
video:

Found in box outside CACC.

Nothing like a BIG pile of tabbies. We got our hands on all of them to test their socialization and while they mostly moved away during butt scratches there was not a hiss from any of them. They are a nice large group that would do fine in a home once they kick the cooties.

URGENT - VISUALLY IMPAIRED. NIKKI NEEDS A LOVING AND SPECIAL HOME. WILL YOU HELP HIM?

NIKKI - A283384
Male & 5 years
Stray found @ CACC
Intake: 10/18/24
Video: https://fb.watch/vnoPZgXjvx/

Nikki seems like a sad case. He is so thin and seems to have either some old injuries or birth defects that give him the appearance of a hunched back and while he moves around just fine but he seems stiff around his wrists like they don’t bend. He leans in fully to give you all the love he has which is really sweet but this guy is way too small to be a fully grown cat! We gave him extra portions to help with that.
