If you can contribute to helping these people, please send donations to our organization. All donations are tax deductible.

Kittens? Yes, We Have Kittens!
Our fee will be 25% less for the second kitten when two are adopted at the same time.
Kittens can be pre-adopted in the foster homes at about 5-6 weeks. These kittens are either too young to be tested (at 8 weeks) for FIV/FeLV or just not completely ready to leave the foster home.
Please call for more information. We will be happy to tell you about pre-adoption.

Who We Are
Second Chance Pet Adoption founded in 1995, is a not-for-profit, all volunteer rescue and foster home organization serving the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago and surrounds.
We foster stray, abandoned, sick, or injured cats and kittens.
All are given routine veterinary care or any emergency care and then placed in private foster homes.
Most of our cats or kittens are fostered for two weeks before they are available for adoption. This gives us a chance to observe their personality and health. After a cat or kitten is placed into a foster home, they are given love, care, attention, and socialization in a safe and warm home environment. We are dedicated to finding loving, permanent homes.
Adopting A Cat or Kitten
Our adoption fee includes veterinarian check, check for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), Feline Aids (FIV) , and FVRCP vaccination, rabies vaccination (4 mos. of age and older), treatment for parasites and dewormed. Spaying or neutering (surgery only) any kitten, when age appropriate, after adoption, is also included at a number of local veterinarians. All adult cats are altered when rescued or if kittens at 4 months of age.
Adoption requires completion of an adoption application and contract. We need application to be made in person and signed by adopter. The adopter must be willing to comply with our rules of adoption.
Come Visit Us!
Visitations can be made in our foster homes or at adoption shows.
We also have numerous Adoption Shows in area pet stores. All adopted animals must go home in a pet carrier.
