Our Featured Pets...
CUPCAKE! Cupcake is a beautiful brown tabby with distinict markings, who is between 1 and 2 years of age. She has a great personality and loves to play with other cats. She was rescued from a kill shelter that was going to euthanize her due to lack of space. She is currently in foster care awaiting her forever home.
Cupcake is current on her inoculations, is spayed and microchipped, plus has tested negative for Feline Luekemia and FIV. To schedule an appointment to meet Cupcake at the PetSmart in Darien, IL, please call 630-375-7976 or send an email to l.dedic@att.net, the Cat Program Director.
The animals highlighted above, plus many others, are available for adoption each and every day.
CATS & KITTENS: are shown by appointment. Call 630-375-7976 with your interest and contact information.
DOGS & PUPPIES: are shown between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month at the Naperville PETCO (348 S. Rt. 59) through the end of 2011. Please check the descriptions of the dogs on Petfinder to know which dog will be at the showing. Please note that we do not adopt dogs at the showings at Petsmart because we require a home visit as part of the application process.
Between the regularly scheduled showing dates, we also show dogs and cats by appointment once an application is received.
A Caring Place Humane Society is always fundraising to subsidize our income due to extensive veterinary bills. Adoption fees do not cover the costs of many of our animals, so we are always in need of donations. Please help the animals in our care by making a generous monetary donation to A Caring Place Humane Society. Please mail your contribution to us at P.O. Box 989, Westmont, IL 60559.
We are an Illinois not-for-profit corporation and a recognized 501(c)(3) charity so monetary donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. You can make a secure online donation right here through our PayPal account. Please consider helping us out.
A Caring Place Humane Society is a dog and cat rescue organization run entirely by volunteers. Our primary mission is to save the lives of abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats by taking them into our adoption program. Since opening in 2002, A Caring Place has rescued and rehabilitated over 1400 cats and dogs and adopted them into loving, permanent homes.
A Caring Place does not have a facility or kennel to house our animals. Instead, every rescued animal lives in a foster care provider’s home until adopted. We do not set time limits for adoption nor do we euthanize due to old age or costly health care.
OUR MISSION
A Caring Place takes in animals from different sources including those relinquished by owners/guardians and good samaritans and makes them available for adoption. However, our primary source for animals are those at highest risk of being killed in animal control agencies, shelters both local and from other states, and veterinary offices due to lack of space or opportunity.
Because most of the animals we take in have had at least one home already, we choose to adopt only to those individuals who are willing to make a permanent, life-time commitment to an animal. A reasonable adoption fee is charged to help recover the costs of the medical care as well as the food and shelter provided to for the animal. If there is an animal you are interested in applying for, please contact us at 630-375-7976 or by sending an email. Please note that all household members must be present at the time of the adoption interview.
CATS & KITTENS The adoption fee for cats over six months of age is $110 and kittens younger than six months are $125* each. Please note that we do not adopt our cats or kittens out of state; we focus on adopting locally. All cats and kittens will have received a general health exam, inoculations against Distemper and Rabies (age appropriate) been tested for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus [FIV] and Feline Leukemia, been spayed or neutered and microchipped by a licensed veterinarian.
DOGS & PUPPIES: The adoption fee for adult dogs over twelve months of age is $250; puppies less than one year of age and purebred dogs are $300. These prices are subject to change. All dogs and puppies will have received a general health exam, a heart worm test and preventatives or treatment, spay or neuter, deworming, and microchip. Additionally, each dog will be current on inoculations against Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella [Canine Cough].
* Prices subject to change
Foster Care Providers for dogs/puppies are desperately needed. Foster care is a very rewarding experience for people and is especially beneficial to the animals this humane society takes into their adoption system. If you are one of those special people willing to open your heart and home to an animal in need and would like to receive information on how you can foster an animal, please contact us.
