Rescue Partnerships

PARTNERING WITH RESCUES

Why we want to partner with rescues:
​
At Felines of Chicago, we’re committed to working hand-in-hand with licensed rescue organizations and shelters throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Our mission is to support the well-being and comfort of cats in their care—whether in shelters or foster homes.

We offer direct assistance to foster networks, provide foster recruitment support, and share educational resources designed to empower both rescues and fosters. By building strong, collaborative relationships, we aim to create a more sustainable safety net for cats across the Midwest.

Please note: Felines of Chicago only partners with licensed rescue organizations.

  • "I want to thank my dedicated friends at Felines of Chicago for all of their hard work in locating fosters for us! We couldn’t have adopted out over 900 cats so far this year without their help! They are so very helpful in helping us get more cats out of shelters in Chicago and other locations as well. We look forward to partnering with them and saving more cats lives!"

  • "Felines of Chicago saw a need in Chicagoland rescues for additional fosters to help save the animals most at risk. CatNap has been able to utilize this service to save more lives in need by utilizing Felines of Chicago to help find additional foster homes. The services they have provided have helped us save urgent bottle kittens, nursing mom and kittens to medical cases. This has helped us to expand our foster network, leading more of our kittens/cats having foster homes while waiting for adoption, and has broadened our reach of adopters and has lead to many wonderful adoptions."

  • "Simply put, we couldn't do what we do without Felines of Chicago. They are an incredible organization that finds and pre-qualifies fosters for rescues. As a foster-based organization, we couldn't save nearly as many as we do without the people they send our way. They are an invaluable resource and their assistance to our rescue allows me to focus more on the many other aspects of running the cat side of an animal rescue. Grateful does not even come close."
