One Tail at a Time - Adoption Center

to create communities that respect and value each cat or dog's life, starting with a No Kill Chicago.

Make pet ownership a joyful and accessible experience for everyone to end pet homelessness. In order to achieve this, we rescue animals from overcrowded shelters, find them loving forever homes, and help pet owners in need.

We pledge to give the cats and kittens in our adoption center the best possible care. Each new admission is given thorough veterinary care, which includes a full physical examination, spaying or neutering, testing for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), vaccinations, an AVID microchip, and any other treatments required before adoption. Many cats that need emergency veterinary care also come to us because they are ill, injured, or both.

Our goal is to collaborate with the community to promote TNR through education and outreach (Trap-Neuter-Return). resulting in fewer euthanasia cases and a decrease in the cat population. TNA (Trap-Neuter-Adopt) is another method we use for adoptable cats.

OUR ADOPTION PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO SAVE CATS FROM LIFE-THREATENING SETTLEMENTS LIKE HIGH-KILL SHELTERS AND FIND THEM FRIENDLY, QUALITY HOMES.

The Critical Animal Relief Foundation (CARF), a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Chicago, Illinois, is committed to assisting animals in dire need.
