Cat Guardians, Inc.
Our Mission
Cat Guardians, Inc. was opened in 1990, by founder Kathy Blackwell in a two-story white house near the corner of St. Charles and Westmore Road in Lombard, Illinois. Over the
years, the shelter has helped more than 3,700 cats and kittens find loving families. Many of the cats and kittens have been saved from the streets, helped to overcome medical
and/or socialization issues and given the time and space they need, while waiting to be adopted. Cat Guardians also provides a permanent home for cats that are more
challenging to adopt due to age, medical conditions and socialization issues.
Cat Guardians provides the best care for our kitties, and we put the animals’ health, plus well being above all else with a dedicated team of medical volunteers. At any given time, Cat Guardians has approximately 30 to 40 cats residing at the shelter. Most residents roam freely, having the ability to play, nap or hangout in their favorite spots. Our shelter is a very loving and caring environment for our kitties, which makes it a pleasure to volunteer as well as to visit.
The daily activities of the shelter are feeding the cats, administering medication, cleaning the litter boxes and the shelter, are performed with the help of volunteers and funded through supporters like you.
