Volunteer: Cat CaretakersChicagoland Animal Rescue, NFP is a small, all-volunteer cat rescue organization based out of the Downers Grove PetSmart at Butterfield & Finley Rd. **We are looking to add someone to our Wednesday evening shift ASAP (or a couple people to rotate)** Even if we can't use you right now, we'd love to have you come meet us and learn about volunteering! Options for volunteering can open unexpectedly, so please reach out if you are interested in volunteering. Our ONLY location is at the Downers Grove PetSmart, 1550 Butterfield Rd, Downers Grove IL. This is the ONLY location where volunteering of this type will take place. If you cannot come out to this location, we hope you will find an organization near your home that you can volunteer with instead. Please know that as a small organization, our volunteer slots can fill up quickly, so please still reach out if you are interested to see where we might use you! C.A.R. is looking for volunteers (21 years old or older) to be placed on a set schedule to help during the day, in the evenings, on weekends. Schedules are flexible, but are typically on a set rotating schedule. Duties will include scooping liter boxes, cleaning the adoption area, monitoring & noting cat behavior, socializing the cats in our care, and medicating cats when necessary. Even if you can only volunteer a few hours every couple weeks or once a month, we would love to have you! Please email us at info@chicagolandanimalrescue.org or fill out the form on our website here to get more information on shifts we’re looking to fill and to complete a volunteer application. NOTE: We are NOT able to accommodate those who need a specific number of volunteer hours (such as court-ordered community service) with this opportunity. Please check out our virtual options if that is something you need fulfilled. We are almost always looking for volunteers, even if your commitment can only be a few hours a month, but you need to be able to commit to a schedule and keep it indefinitely. Volunteers must also be at least 21 years old per insurance requirements. Thank you! Please provide a current email and phone number for us to contact you at if you are willing to lend a hand and to find out more information. We also would appreciate volunteers to occasionally help with vet transport, volunteer transport, and other tasks as they come up. Spending time with these precious cats is one of the most gracious things you could do! If you are unable to volunteer, please consider making a donation to help support cats in need.

Volunteer: Fostering Cats in Need**Urgent foster homes needed** We are constantly asked to help with cats who can no longer stay in their homes, or were found trying to survive on their own. We can help more cats with more foster homes - please reach out ASAP if you could give a cat in need a place to chill for a little while. We are most often asked to help with adults and seniors - while kittens are often popular for fosters, the adults & seniors need you the most! We are in need of foster homes to help prepare the cats in our rescue for adoption. We will set you up with the supplies and everything you need to care for the cats, cover all any needed vet appointments or costs...all you need is a quiet, separate space and some love to share!

Ideally, you should have some experience with cats, including medication, nail trims, and socializing, but we are willing to consider people who have not had a cat before as well. Foster parents must be 21 years or older only, and all members of the household must be on board with fostering and understand the expectations for doing so. Please fill out the fostering application here. Once you contact us, please keep an eye out for a follow up email from fundraising@chicagolandanimalrescue.org (and check your spam folder, too!) within about 24 hours. If you would like more information before filling out the application, please reach out to fundraising@chicagolandanimalrescue.org with your questions. We'll be happy to answer any and all questions you may have!! Our only physical location for visiting us or our cats is at the Downers Grove PetSmart, 1550 Butterfield Rd, Downers Grove IL. However, our foster homes should be within a 30-minute distance of the Lombard/Carol Stream area (as this is where our veterinarians are located).
