Barb's Precious Rescue We are a volunteer, not-for-profit, 501(C)(3) organization with all funds directly assisting our animals, and we are a no-kill facility.

Barb’s Precious Rescue is a safe haven for homeless cats and kittens in the Palatine/Barrington area, providing medical care, nourishment, shelter, and love ❤️ while they wait for their forever homes. Our mission at Barb’s Precious Rescue and Adoption Center is to create a safe and humane haven by providing medical attention, food, shelter and love for cats and dogs that have been abused, abandoned or neglected. The animals in our care will be provided with a safe, loving environment, and will ultimately be placed in a loving forever home. Our compassionate volunteers are committed to caring for and socializing our rescued friends. Our home-style open environment allows our healthy rescue animals to enjoy their transition in a cage-free environment. Sick or injured animals will be lodged in separate quarters where they have a quiet environment in which to recover before being placed for adoption. All pets in our care will receive the specific and unique attention they require and deserve. We believe that every animal deserves the best care possible in an environment in which they can flourish. If you wish to provide a loving forever home for a cat or kitten currently in our care, please contact us today. And if you are interested in joining our volunteer family, we would welcome your assistance. Get the latest news and updates via Instagram or like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/BarbsRescue.

🥟❤️ UPDATE ON MAMA DUMPLING & HER BABIES!

Back on October 11th, we shared the BREAKING MEWS that Mama Dumpling had welcomed EIGHT tiny little dumplings! 🐾 It was quite the Sunday morning at the rescue.

Sadly, two didn’t make it, but we’re happy to report that the other SIX are doing well! Five are nursing with Mama, and one little girl has been getting some extra TLC with bottle-feeding. ❤️

Mama and her babies are getting lots of love and care as they grow. And yes…they’ll be available for adoption once they’re ready! 😻

More updates to come! 💕

Happy Halloween! It is important to remember that Halloween can be lots of fun, but sometimes it's stressful for our pets. 🎃👻

Here are reminder of some Halloween Do's & Don'ts for our feline friends. 🐱

Do make sure your cat is microchipped with up-to-date information, wears a collar and ID tag, and stays indoors on Halloween.

Don't feed pets Halloween treats! Sugars and fats can cause more than an upset stomach, some are poisonous to cats like those containing raisins, chocolate, and candies containing xylitol (a common sugar substitute).

Do keep your cat in a safe space in a room of your home away from the front door and trick-or-treaters so that they don’t get nervous and try to run out the door. Offer enrichment items and play some calming music in their room.

Don't allow access to Halloween decorations such as jack-o-lanterns, glow sticks, costume parts or other decorations that may present a hazard if chewed on.

Do make sure to allow your cat time to get comfortable wearing a Halloween costume if you chose to have them wear one. It should fit properly and not have any pieces they can easily chew off or block their eyes, ears, mouth or movement. Do not leave your cat unsupervised in their costume.
