CACC Cat Transfer Team

CACC Cat Transfer Team is a page run by VOLUNTEERS of Chicago Animal Care & Control. This page was created with the intention of helping increase live outcomes for the animals at CACC. These animals are available to all approved Homeward Bound partners.

The CACC Transfer Team was set up to help network animals, namely cats, that are NOT on the adoption floor at Chicago Animal Care and Control due to lack of space and resources. There are hundreds of dogs and cats (and sometimes pot bellied pigs) who are waiting to find rescue and would make wonderful pets. We are a small group of volunteers, not employees, who run this page, as well as acting as contacts for interested rescue groups and/or fosters.

We appreciate your interest in helping the animals at Chicago ACC; please help us by respecting the way we operate. Refusal to follow these guidelines may result in our privileges of working with these animals being revoked.

By participating on this page, you are agreeing to the terms outlined in our Code of Conduct - www.facebook.com/notes/cacc-cat-transfer-team/code-of-conduct/781132521930579

We are so happy to have you as part of Chicago's Animal Care and Control Facebook community, and since you are here, it is because you support the cause of homeless animals in Chicago. We encourage positive participation, and hope you will help make this a constructive forum focused on animal rescue and adoption. There are many ways to work with CACC to make a difference in the lives of animals, and we urge you to explore them. If you are looking for ideas on how to help, you can start here: http://youtu.be/hpZ0wa5Lpp4.

Please do NOT call the shelter to inquire about any cats you see on the this page. The volunteer transfer team was created to help with this, so please send a note via our Facebook page or email one of us instead of calling the shelter. We are very quick to respond. Our contact info is listed below. ♥

Thank you!! :)

** IMPORTANT NOTE FOR RESCUES: It is the full responsibility of the rescue organization to temperament test cats. As volunteers, we can simply photograph the cats and say what behavior we have observed from the cat at the shelter. We cannot perform temperament tests, and of course, can never guarantee the behavior or medical condition of any cat.
