See our adoptables on the facebook posts and adoptables photo album. All kittens are either adopted in pairs or to a home with an age appropriate cat buddy (8 and younger usually). Some kittens are only adopted with a bonded buddy. There are some single adults that can be adopted as a single. Adoptions fees cover spay/ne

uter, vaccines to date, microchipping, deworming and whatever medical care that was required before adoption. Most kittens will need at least one more vaccine booster shortly after adoption (some need two) and a rabies vaccine. Adoption Fees:

Kitten pair - $300
Single kitten - $175
Single adult - $150

‼️DONATIONS NEEDED FOR ER VISIT‼️

Poor little Tortellini was admitted today after suffering five seizures. Thankfully his foster, who is also a CARF board member rushed him to the ER immediately where he is now hospitalized on IV fluids and undergoing numerous tests. When she left, he perked up a bit to say goodbye. How cute is that? 🥹🥹
We just put a $1300 deposit down and are looking at upwards of $2500.

 Please help us fight for this critical Kitten, who has already gone through so much in his little life. Donations can be made to the link below or via

‼️🤎 😻Foster home needed!! ‼️🤎😻

Pixie and Turtle are an absolutely adorable pair of sister/ brother kittens currently in foster care in Chicago. They’ve been the purrfect houseguests, but need to move due to the stress on the resident kitties. Pixie has an eye specialist appointment on 7/30 for an eye ulcer, so we’d like to keep them in Chicago or nearby.

Please message us if you can help!

They are also available for foster to adopt while they finish their vetting.

☀️ Chester Wants to Be Your Sunshine ☀️

Every morning, Chester wakes up with one goal: make his humans smile. 🧡

He’ll greet you at the door when you come home, happily follow you from room to room, and always want to be wherever you are. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves being by your side, Chester is your guy.

When he’s not soaking up the sunshine from his favorite window perch or birdwatching from his cat tree, he’s soaking up all the love and attention you’ll give him. Snuggles? Absolutely. Nose boops? Of course. Loyal companionship? That’s his specialty.

In just a few weeks, Chester will celebrate his 3rd birthday, and he has only one wish on his birthday list…

🎁 A forever family to call his own.

Let’s make sure this sweet, gentle boy spends his birthday exactly where he belongs—with the people he’ll love for the rest of his life.

📍Fostered in the Chicagoland area

“Good morning! My daughter had her second annual lemonade stand recently and wants to donate her profits ($181) to CARF kitties in honor of her beloved "sister" Vivian (CARF alum). Just sent via Venmo”😸😻

We appreciate our supporters so much. 💕

☀️ Sunday Funday is Better with Kittens! 🐾💕

At just 12 weeks old, Kiwi and Zella have watched all of their siblings find forever families. While they aren’t biological sisters, they’ve become the very best of foster friends and would love nothing more than families of their own.

They don’t have to be adopted together, but because they’re still babies, they must go to a home with another young, playful feline to help them grow, learn, and thrive.

Kiwi and Zella are everything you could want in a kitten:
🐾 Sweet, affectionate personalities
💖 Loud purr motors
🎉 Playful and full of kitten fun

They are fostered in the Chicagoland area and are:
✅ Spayed
✅ Microchipped
✅ Up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations
✅ Negative for FIV/FeLV

These girls are more than ready to trade their foster room for a forever home. Could one of them be the missing piece of your family?

💕 Betty & June are still waiting… and we just can’t understand why! 💕

These two precious 16-week-old sisters are everything you could want in a pair of kittens. They have the loudest little purr motors, adore every bit of affection, play beautifully together, and are wonderful with both cats and dogs. They’re sweet, silly, cuddly, and guaranteed to fill your home with laughter.

They’re spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on their age-appropriate vaccinations—completely ready to start their happily ever after.

Whoever adopts Betty & June isn’t just getting two kittens… they’re getting two best friends. ❤️ We truly can’t imagine a luckier family.

Could this be the weekend these girls finally find the forever home they deserve?

Meet our newest kitten, Sunflower!🌻

Sunflower was dropped off at a local ER with trauma, including a fractured pelvis. She was going to be euthanized, but luckily a vet tech intervened and reached out to us. 😻🏥

Though we have numerous other medical cases, we did not want to let this girl down, especially for something so manageable, so by 10am she was leaving the ER with us.

She is super sweet and will likely heal just fine like our dozens of other pelvic fracture kittens have. 🧡🖤🤍
