I was searching for a great place to adopt a cat and found this one! They were awesome from the time I called to the time I adopted my new pet. I now have a new addition named Carlos to my family! He's very sweet and energetic! Love him!

I went to adopt a kitty that I ended up naming kovu (Cuervo) and he’s a really good boy and it was amazing there process was fast and easy but they also have many choices and the way to meet the cats was amazing we went into the room and got to meet so many beautiful cat friends would totally recommend adopting from here Ps Cuervo is doing amazing and is getting along with my family very well

We were referred to ACL by a friend. Very glad they did! We toured through the “cat rooms” and found the one we were looking for. Appointment only which suited us just fine. There was no rush and no pressure. It was a very pleasant way to find the cat that was the best for us and vice versa. We would happily come here again and highly recommend ACL to others.

I adopted my giant headed nugget from Animal Care League - they're amazing! I had a LOT of questions and they were patient and made sure that I was comfortable before taking Cricket home. Also, they accept donations, so if you have any extra food or blankets or toys lying around, they could go to good use!

They discriminated against a person of handicap and Veteran. Don't understand if my mom was there to adopt but my dad couldn't come this time because they adopt before and b because my Father could come they turned my parents down. Is this fair?

Tymikee Brown | Sep 12, 2019
Craig W | Sep 12, 2019

All people in the household should meet a possible pet before bringing them home. It is standard practice with most adoption agencies.

The dogs change often. Which is a good thing! We like seeing them adopted! Sometimes they get dogs from other shelters that don't have enough room. Check the website often to see who's available. Remember, adopt! Don't shop. Pet stores sell puppy mill pups.

Call the shelter directly tomorrow to see if they have space. They open at 10 am on a Saturday.

We have an issue with cats repeatedly having babies in our yard. There are several kittens in our backyard in the bushes. What can we do? Help! Thank you

You didn't mention what town you live in, but if it's oak park, call animal control. They will have to trap the kittens & also the momma. Then they will bring them to Animal Care League. The mother cat needs to be spayed so she won't have more kittens. I don't work there, but I foster cats for ACL because they have no more shelter space. Think of becoming a foster family. The shelter will pay for food & medical care. Allyou have to supply is the love!

Do they do walk ins ???

Tania Chavez | May 14, 2022
Barbara Walker | May 14, 2022

Walk ins only for adoption application,or just fill it out on line,if looking to adopt,go to their website and fill out adoption screening form,will get in touch with you,by email or phone, whichever you prefer,and you can also donate on line and become a member,like me.
