Our mission is to be a go-to resource for rescues and fosters, as well as the general population to help build no-kill communities. We are able to provide assistance to local rescues through our donation program, fundraising, foster recruitment program and by providing education and awareness to the community. Our programs include working with the community to sterilize stray, community and feral cats through TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return), educational workshops, medical sponsorship along with other support programs to help people to keep their cats or re-home them safely and responsibly.

What is rabies, and why is vaccination so important?

Science and veterinary medicine have done an incredible job developing a highly effective vaccine, and it’s now on us as pet owners and rescuers to ensure that valuable progress doesn’t go to waste.

We have GREAT news to share about Rocky, the one eyed wonder!

Rocky was born in a cat colony on the south side of chicago. He was well loved from day one by his feeder. Unfortunately, one day he disappeared, only to reappear with a swollen eye. Days later, it got even worse. His cornea had ruptured.

His caretaker called anywhere and everywhere to get him help, and we were ready to answer that call. Our board member went out to the colony last week and caught him herself! He went for surgery that same day. Huge thank you to Shelter Veterinary Solutions for squeezing him in!

Yesterday, April’s Kittens accepted him into their program 🩷 We’re so thankful and excited for the bright future he now has! Aprils Kittens does amazing work with all kitties, but especially those with medical needs. In fact Rocky was not the only one eyed cat they took in that day!

Despite all that he’s been through, Rocky is a total sweetheart and loves attention. He truly cannot get enough pets! He’s a gentle fella with a heart of gold. And soon enough he will be ready to find his furever home 🏡

Today was an eventful day, that’s for sure!

One of our board members saw a post come in on our group about a kitten stuck in a sewer, and immediately sprung into action, reaching out to anyone and everyone. As it just so happens, the location was a short drive from one of our other board members! She grabbed a cat net, a carrier, and headed out immediately.

On site already was the person who posted as well as another person with a crowbar in hand, ready open the sewer drain. And that he did! They played YouTube sounds of a momma cat calling her kittens to try and lure him out, and right away he screamed back…from the car!

Well, after some wait, they were able to track down the owner, and our board member got a first glimpse at the kitten inside: a tiny tuxedo.

This boy then threw the group for a loop as after many attempts to grab him, he sprinted out and into another car! 😮‍💨 some other kind folks had shown up by then and got under the car. Together, they were able to grab him from underneath and drop him into the cat net, and safely move him to the carrier.

Immediately our board member checked for any signs of injury, and thankfully, she found none. From the looks of his gums though it was clear he was dehydrated, and she brought him back home temporarily to give subq fluids, flea meds (as he’s covered in flea dirt), and his first FVRCP.

Never a dull moment in cat rescue.

This week is National Deaf Pet Awareness Week, where we celebrate our extra special kitties that may not hear as well but certainly love just as thorough. Phoenix is no different.

Phoenix was being fed by a kind soul who learned he friendly and she sought rescue for him. April’s Kittens, who we partner with and is run by former board members, stepped up in his time of need and took him into their rescue. Aprils Kittens is known for the love they give to special needs kitties, and we know Phoenix is receiving the best possible care. 🩷

Phoenix is still receiving care, but soon enough he’ll be ready for his final journey of finding a furever home. If that could be you, go check out and apply on their website!
