The Anti-Cruelty Society

Call the society. They will direct you.

I believe you can.

$35 donation

Cats and Kittens last I was there, which was a couple of months ago. All ages. Check it out. You won't be sorry.

Hi Justine, It depends on the age and type of pet you're looking for. Cats (5 months and older) are $60 Kittens (under 5 months old) are $120 Dogs (5 months and older) are $150 Puppies (under 5 months old) are $250

The Anti-Cruelty Society is not closed. Our River North Adoptuon Center is open every day at noon to come and meet our adoptable animals. To see the available animals, visit anticruelty.org/adopt. Our public spat/neuter clinic is also open by appointment only but appointments are limited due to high volume. Visit anti cruelty.org/appointment

Got your message 👍

Call animal welfare..they will show up as nd investigate

Do NOT bring a cat here. I found a stray cat almost right outside anti-cruelty last year. I’m very allergic to cats, so I caught her, carried her into anti-cruelty society, & said a tearful good bye. I made them put a note in her file that if she couldn’t get adopted or if she was slated to be put down, that I would come back for her. They told me not to worry, said they’d take care of her, and that she’d see a vet ASAP because she had a bloody nose. I called every day for 7 days- she still hadn’t seen a vet & there were no updates in her status. On day 7, someone said “oh, there’s a note. She’s scheduled to be put down because she’s scared & not eating much.” They never called me. I rushed over there & convinced them to give her to me. They made me buy her back - even though they were going to kill her- hadn’t treated her injuries, nothing. These people are MONSTERS & will kill that cat- never bring an animal here. BTW, El is thriving in the home I found her. Worst shelter ever.

I suggest you call them directly. They do have a program for low income people and you may be able to qualify.

50 for one, 75 for two.

Yes they do

Yes, they will take new borns. It's preferred that if you have mom that you bring her too as the new borns will not fair well without her

Call the clinic today b/w 10am - 4pm ext: 8051 tell them you need to reach Dr. Belding

There are training classes available, but all classes require the owner to be present. Training needs to include teaching the owner as well as the dog.

I would say no. The pet needs a home. One of the many questions they ask about you while adopting. They have the pet's best interest in mind.

Please give us a call at 312-644-8338 for more information. Thanks!

You definitely have to go online and sign up to volunteer

Yes they do as long as the dog isn't a danger to the staff. I really love them because they won't put animals to sleep

Yes,free

Really sorry to hear that don't you want to at least keep a couple of them i would love to take 1 in if possible i have 2 small dogs already I'm wondering if they would get alone send me a text again if you want me to take 1

Sure, you can come visit our animals any time the adoption center is open (noon to 7 M-F or noon to 5 on S-S). We even have a reading program so you can come a read to the animals! They seem to really like it!

They try to get these pets to anyone it's crazy. I dont understand how people surrender their animals and then ask if they can get them back. They already have given the animal the stress of being thrown out of their family and now they want to bring them back like its no big deal? None of this makes sense to me.

Hi Cheryl, We would need to see if the cat is still here or if your cat has been adopted. Do you have the Animal ID number? Or the cat's name?

Ofcourse

Hi Anne, We do not have a training program for cats.

You can visit their website or go to their location and view all their animals they have for adoption.

You can take it to the Anti Cruelty society on 169 W Grand Ave. You have to call and make an appointment. They free indoor parking.

If I had a kitten, I would wrap the kitten up and blanket to help keep him steady and warm water on a soft cloth and hold it there until you're able to wipe it all away. Kittens get this but keep an eye on it just incase there is pus. If so call a vet to see if you can get the cat in to get drops. You might find drops at your local per shop.

Hi Shyrl, Yes, you may bring him to us. Please call us to make an appointment with our intake department at 312-644-8338.

You have to look they have different dogs there and you can even look on line so you don't waist a tree il p if they don't.

Yes....wait no. No it does not stand

Need to show up, identify an animal, and go through the interview process with one of their fine employees.

Probably for spaying, too, just because, legally, a minor can't sign contacts for most things.

Yes, just go on their website all the information about the different volunteer opportunities are on there.

Does it cost anything to surrender the cat?

Yes, there are guinea pigs for adoption from time to time. Check the website to see if any are available.

Well, they will gladly give you one free. If you meet the poverty requirements. But the standard aboption fee is around $25 -$30 for a cat. Kittens are more Animals come fixed. And that is what you are really paying for.

Anti-cruelty cant help with this but go to the Lost Dogs of Illinois Facebook page and they can help you create flyers and will post your dog on the page. They are extremely helpful and help owners find many dogs! Good luck to you!!!

Or just show up. ...there's plenty to keep you busy

Yes, they have a parking garage

I understand what you're going through. Everyone says you'll know when it's time but i didn't. I guess when you know he is in pass in that's not removed by the medicine and he can't do the things he liked to do, it'll feel more right. Just try to make the best decision for him not for you... Peace

Just go and see. Tey would help you.

Remind Bill of this answer because he accused me of not wanting my cat anymore and that is not true! My cat was suffering from diabetic complications and I grieve over the humane decision I had to make over my cat.

Dogs at the Anti-Cruelty Society are either $250 or $150. $250 for puppies (5 months or younger) $150 for adults (over 5 months)

Yes you can! Just sign in at the front desk.

No.

Yes - there is a garage on Wells. You come down the elevator, walk outside and around the corner to enter the shelter

At least 18 years old

Call them directly because this is not an official page that is monitored by the business. Whatever answer is posted here will be outdated by the end of the day because it depends on if they have any open spots and that changes hour by hour depending upon who comes in and abandons an animal vs. how many people come in to adopt.

Not at this time

No, but you might want to reach out to Saint Francis Pet Funeral Services & Crematory. Their website is sfpcweb.com

You can call or email the clinic.

Unfortunately they do not offer emergency services. So sorry to hear your dog is sick.

No

Yes

Hello Jax.Fury - You may want to visit our website to get some ideas for your two dogs. Please give our team a call at 312-644-8338 with any questions. https://anticruelty.org/surrender

Hello Vanessa, Thanks for your interest. All of our available animals for adoption are spayed or neutered (fixed). We have a "Pick Your Price" promotion currently until Sept. 19. Please visit anticruelty.org/adopt for available animals and call 312-644-8338 if you have any questions! Thanks

Because it costs alot of money to take care of the hundreds of animals the society cares for. There's also staff to pay, and bills to keep the building running & going.

Actually no. The la salle location is walk in only beginning 12pm. I went three weeks ago.

Yes, definitely! The intake department will help you with transitioning her so she can eventually find a good home. Just give the shelter a call. They open at 12pm tomorrow- Sunday.

The anti-cruelty society has a number of cats and kittens for adoption. As for color you'd have to go and see what they have.

Under 5 months $130. 5 months and over $75

Cleopatra said it perfect 👌

So sorry but our parking lot is only for patrons of our organization and is not a public garage. We do lock the garage after we close each evening and we have signs posted that it is a private lot. There are a number of public lots in the area for future reference. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have to fill out paperwork first. Its a process you have to go through

I would call first but they generally accept everything. I believe there is no cost to surrendering your animal.

only when I'm not working

Apply online and fill out an application on our website.

Although what they have at any one time can change. The answer is yes.

If you go on Saturdays between 2pm and 4pm you'll find a man sighing people in and no wait. It's for vaccines and also to spay you're pets i believe it was very adorable. Not even $60.

Yes! Bunnies can be spayed/neutered. The Anti-Cruelty Society does not offer this service to the community but your veterinarian should be able to do this.

Hi Laura, We're sorry your cat isn't feeling well. It would be best to take your pet to a private vet for an examination and find out what's going on. We wish you all the best.

I would call them and ask. I'm pretty sure they would take them though

Depends....the always have some special arrangements for cat-adopters

I don't work for them personally. But I do know that they take in kittens newborn to a few days old.

They have all kinds of animals you have to call them and make inquiries or appointments

Yes

Check the website for available adoptions

Yes, they take in animals. They seem to be kind and understanding. These things happen to the best of us good luck. Sorry you have to let your baby go.

Yes, they do.

They should. You have to call and make an appointment. Try PAWS in Chicago too

They don't "sell" dogs but their website has a lot of sizes and types shown for adoption.

You can walk the dogs in a mini park within the facility. I found that the dogs had been trained to run up to and jump on the benches and sit. It's quite cute. Endearing even.

Not sure call them to find out

They mostly do strays or adopted pets at a much reduced rate but then there's an expectation that you do a follow up with your local vet.

Call them! Best answer.

Yes. Mk o cost

Where can I get free vet care for my puppy

Fastest way is talk to your landlord and have their number on hand so they can call them. Bring is shot records for your dog or cats if you have any living with you.

There are different fees based on age and type of animal. All of this information and the adoption process can be found on the website at anticruelty.org/adopt-process

So sorry to hear about this. The Anti-Cruelty Society does not offer general veterinarian services. You can see a list of veterinarian ambassadors we are affiliated with at anticruelty.org/find-a-vet if you need to find a veterinarian. Good luck!

I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that they are there indefinitely until adopted. Unless they get sick, then other measures are taken

Actually, the cost for kittens is $120 and that includes all vaccinations, microchipping and spay/neuter surgery. Check out the available animals online at anticruelty.org/adopt There are several locations where cats are available and the website is updated in real time. Hope you find the best forever kitty for your gf. Check out whats needed to adopt at anticruelty.org/adopt-process

Yes. It can be a bittersweet experience, do visit! Not sure if you can donate food from outside sources.

At this point your private vet can talk to you about what could be causing the allergies. It could be environmental allergies or something in your pup's diet. Also, make sure that your pup is on a flea and tick preventative to ensure fleas and ticks are not the issue. Hope this helps!

Yes they do

Anti Cruelty society. Perhaps they can find a home for them.

Hi there, We are only able to offer vaccines for animals at the time of spay/neuter surgeries. Information about our spay/neuter services and the vaccines available at the time of surgery can be found here: https://anticruelty.org/appointment

Hi Tia, We do not operate a private veterinarian office, however, do have a low-income clinic. You can call 312-645-8052 to find out if you qualify.

Henderson where are you located, I will rescue this cat. Im w/ a cat rescue in the west burbs so let me know and Ill post contact info and get this kitten

Hi Henderson, Is the cat under the hood of your car of physically in the car?

They are an amazing place. I know how hard it is to part with a pet. Had to put my cat down 2 months ago there. Don't think that other person ever went There or has a pet.

Don't go 2 paws

South Suburban and Catnap from the Heart both take in small animals , I dont know about Anti Cruelity. I would imagine that they do. Good luck finding the baby a new home

Hi Carolyn, Those animals can be brought to The Anti-Cruelty Society. We're open every single day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. to receive animals. Please give us a call at 312-644-8338 to set up an appointment.

Look on line

Hi Anne, The Anti-Cruelty Society does not have a boarding facility, so this is not a service we offer.

Call and they can give you the information about bringing him in, but just so you know if he's a older dog He's probably not going to get adopted and will have to spend the rest of his days locked in cage!!😢

Please don't end up going to buy one from a breeder. If you cant find the specific breed maybe you can find something else that will still give you all the love and affection

There are many programs such as youth who care, teens who care, and then there are programs for adults. Go to their website and look at the programs.

Yes! Please call us at 312-644-8338 to make an intake appointment.

Not sure if they pick up but you can drop off

You just need to call and make an appt. Free parking in the building.

Yes

Hi Sarah, We do not have grooming services.

Hi Herbert, The adoption fee for a puppy is $250 (under 5 months old) and a dog 5 months and older is $150.

Totally worth it buying a dog or a cat from there

Hi Maria, We have a low-cost spay/neuter clinic and you can schedule an appointment here: https://anticruelty.org/appointment Male dogs cannot be in heat, but females can. If you have a female dog in heat, you will have to wait until the heat cycle is over before you can have her spayed. If you have a male, he can be neutered at any time.

Hi Brenda, All of our available animals can be seen at https://anticruelty.org/adopt. Our adoption fees range from $150-$250.

h

Try the greater Chicago ferret welfare association.

Hi there, Here’s information about our spat/neuter program https://anticruelty.org/appointment

Did she have puppies? My dog did the same thing right before she gave birth.

I'm not sure, but you should take her to see a vet immediately.

Take her in during business hours.

Cats: $30 male or female Feral cats: No charge Dogs: $130 (male and female, except pit bull and pit bull mixes) Pit bull and pit bull mix dogs: $60

I have no idea. Maybe they are closed.

Hi Alex, If you have the paperwork, that's great. If not, it's not a problem!

Hi Barbara, So sorry for your loss. We do not offer cremation services, but St. Francis Pet Crematory does. More information on them is available here: https://www.sfpcweb.com/

Dogs: $130 (male and female) (except pit bull and pit bull mixes) Pit bull and pit bull mix dogs: $60

Yes they will you still need to call 311

Not positive but they helped my pidgeon when it's wing was hurt instead of just putting it down. So I'm inclined to believe so.

She will have ti pick Up the cat or they will charge her a fee.

Yes they do

Hi Maria, You are welcome to bring him in to our facility. Please call 312-644-8338 to make an intake appointment.

Hi Delfina, Yes, you can bring the dog to us. Please give us a call at 312-644-8338 to make an appointment with our intake department.

Hi there, Unfortunately we do not have a public clinic and are unable to offer this service.

I dont believe in giving inf that I'm not sure you're best thing is call them 🐾🐹🐹🐾

You will have to come to request the adoption of a pet, it is a long process and you will need an identification

Yes we do. Here is more information https://anticruelty.org/services-local-resources/society-programs-services/safe-program/

Keep an eye on our website! It is updates in real-time as animals are adopted and become available for adoption! https://anticruelty.org/adopt-a-new-companion/adopt-a-dog/

I don't know if The anti cruelty would die that, but call them and ask them

Hi Morgan, Yes, we are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day to accept animals. We request that you make an appointment by calling 312-644-8338. This assures that someone will be able to assist you with the intake with no wait. If you'd rather walk-in, you may have to wait.

Hi Yarelith, Yes, we do have rabbits available for adoption. You can check them all out here: https://anticruelty.org/adopt-a-new-companion/otheranimals/

Hi Allie, The spay/neuter clinic is by appointment only. You can make an appointment here: https://anticruelty.org/spayneuter-clinic-and-pet-health/spay-neuter-clinic/spay-neuter-clinic-online-scheduler/ On the day of your appointment, animal drop off is between 8 and 9 a.m. If you're looking to speak with someone in the clinic, phone lines open at 10 a.m. Hope this answers your question!

From my understanding yes last time I checked

I have a female (spayed) who also does that, especially bed linens. She was being bullied by her brothers. I reduce her anxiety with calming collars, feliway and secure areas close to me so she rarely died it now. But I'm not a behaviorist so I too am open to suggestion.

Put the animal down.

There is a foster program, perhaps a foster ambassador could take your pup on...

They do adoptions, this is not a pet store

Perhaps review your situation with The AntiCruelty Society here: https://anticruelty.org/contact/

Cats are $30 to be neutered.

Yes. How they help depends on the individual case - are they infected and carriers? Or do they have active symptoms? Call them. Here is some information about FIV+ https://www.alleycat.org/resources/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv/

If your asking if you can surrender your Guinea pig there, then yes. They accept all animals.

Have you brought him to a vet or a specialist? Anti Cruelty is open admission but there's no guarantee they will be able to get to the bottom of the problem. North Center Animal Hospital might be able to help, good luck!

You can always call the police to report it-check out this link, as well. https://www.aspca.org/take-action/report-animal-cruelty

Adoption for puppies is$250,and older dogs$150

One of a few things you can do. If you live in Chicago call 311 and make a report. Also you can call Animal Welfare. But before you do have you tried talking to your neighbor? I do understand that there's some people who you rather not have that type of conversation but if they're the approachable type then do that first. Because other 2 options are easy to figure out who made the complaint. Also, try to talking them in a non confrontational and blameless way. Offer to help them out by giving them help in surrendering the dog. I have found that some people might not have the funds to feed or get rid of the fleas that this dog might have.

Anti Cruelty Society or Animal Control.

Stray cats have had to survive under difficult circumstances. That's stray cat is causing anxiety and stress. Separate them.

I paid $60!

Gratified that some can be helped. Humble to be part of a organization that can make a difference. Hopeful that the mission and message of the anti-cruelty society will always be supported.

Hi Sandy, The cat neuter fee is $30 (which you paid online) and you pick up your cat the same day between 5:30-6:00 p.m. If you do not pick up your cat during that timeframe, you are charged an additional $55 boarding fee for the overnight stay. We do not recommend leaving your cat over night and only do this when no other pick up option is available. If you have questions, feel free to give our clinic a call at 312-645-8051.

My heart goes out to you. It must be so hard for you and him. I would call them, just as another guide suggest and take from there. Blessings.

Hello, Yes, you can bring the kitten in to us. We're open to receive animals from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day.

Not sure what you mean by "back." If you gave up your cats because of an anxiety disorder making you indecisive, irritable or easily upset, consider this. Its not whether you can. It's whether you should. Cats are VERY sensitive, easily upset. Think through with someone, like a therapist, how your decisions impact your life and care of those cats. Its not a question for anticruelty to answer. Get yourself together first.

Yes. Our euthanasia services are available every day between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

It an fall under both. Maybe someone just abandoned it. But most feral cats won't let you touch them. They WILL fight to the death if you try to touch them.

I believe so to be on the safe side, have some proof that your dog is yours.❤

I called them already, i have to call back in the morning during a certain time, so im asking someone in between time... Im asking how much because im looking for something affordable with so limited time

Try Ravenswood Animal Hospital in Chicago (N/NW side) Excellent care and affordable. Call first.

Thank you so much for your help.

You cant throw money at a problem that cant be fixed. Before you spend that kind of money again, go to the anti - cruelty and let them give the kitty an exam. You wont spend anything close to that price to help the cat.

They just have dog and cats of all ages

Yes! If the animal is being mistreated you are doing the right thing by trying to get the cat out of that situation. You can contact the authorities but I also think the folks at the anti-cruelty society could advise you on what to do. You are doing the right thing by trying to get the cat back! Please call the anti cruelty society directly.

I dont think so. Call them first.

Call them and look at the website.

Take them to anti cruelty

I agree with above suggestions. Dr Dent at Anti Cruelty Society is terrific.

Yes, of course. Finding loving homes for all the pets is the goal!

Any animal dog, cat, rabbit, bird etc can bite. They do not put aggressive animals up for adoption but that doesn't mean that the animal will never bite.

U need to do ? Go to walmart see about creme. U should if cleaned it & wrapped it. Poor baby. Google it for answer quick

Per website $150 for five months and older. Puppies under five months $250.

They take in all companion animals regardless of size. They take in hamsters, gerbils, mice, guinea pigs etc. in addition to dogs and cats.

Read someone mentioned Humane society?

Various breeds mostly pits

Or called the humain society the should be able to help you

Anti cruilty society will help for $35

When I took my dog i donated $15.00 to them cause that's all I had and they do it right away

They just take them as a last resort if you can't find someone who will take them.

Depending on where you may have taken your dog within the last three weeks, ticks can be an option if you have walked in rather tall grass and/or bushes. I would check your dog's legs and spine for any ticks. If that is not the case, there may be a small tumor somewhere near the spine, so I would still go to the closest vet to check. Hope it helps!

They might have one! Go take a look and fall in love. You can take the dogs outside in the courtyard

Yes, they offer discounted services.

Dog and cat spay/neuter appointments are Monday–Friday Cost: Cats: $30 male or female Feral cats are free Dogs: $130 (Male and Female) (except pit bull and pit bull mixes) Pit bull and pit bull mix dogs: $60 You can schedule an appt on line.

Call the police

Look on their website or go look at them in person

I believe you need vet for your dog. Look up vets that take first time visiting people they help you with your pet. No cost

Call and ask for their field service department, they can schedule pick ups.

Call animal control now!

They help you take out cats and kittens from the cages and go into little rooms and play with them! You can have a kitty to yourself or your small group.

They open at noon time

I did not get approve

Call humane society, call vet get help

Yes

Yes, they adopt out rabbits and guinea pigs. They have hampsters and mice/rats occasionally.

Yes call ahead

I adopted a dog for 150

Yes but not over 75 lbs

Anti cruelty has an intake area. There's a free parking garage and you can get off at the intake area. Thanks for not just dumping him off by the side of the road. He'll find a good home!

Not sure but i believe spading is encouraged but not free and its probably not a bad idea enquire about the microchip for your puppy as well hope this was helpful. ✌

They just want the dog to have a good forever home, and want to be sure you can do that. They do not want the dog to be in the same scenario that out then at the shelter in the first place.

Dont understand the question.

No. They want to make sure any animals that are adopted out go to stable homes. If someone lives in an apartment they even check with the landlord to make sure it's okay for the pet to be there. This was my experience when adopting our dog this past june.

I use Fromm. It's more expensive but it's American made and there has never been a recall that I'm aware of

I've always heard female but I think it really boils down to the breed and the individual dog

Well sorry to hear that the shelter has many uses but if you feel its best to put him to rest then and there are animal shelters like paws and anticruelty they will assist you in that process once again good and i wish you the best.

Call the anti-cruelty society?? Get accurate information

Kittens are 120.00.

They have a veternary clinic so they treat sick animals as well.

Does the dog have a way to shelter himself? Go over and knock on their door and ask them if you can bring the dog into your house on cold nights if they refuse to do so. If the dog barks at night and disturbs you then call the police.

No

You have to drop off they do not pick up

Wouldn't want that food over exerted

What is a pitty? Call them there are places that take cats and dogs and pittys lol

What? Please rewrite. I don't understand your words.

You need to go the Anti Cruelty website regularly where you can view the dogs.

The average stay for Cats is approx. 30 days and for Dogs 10 days. So, yes there's alot of cats

Yes

No birds. Only dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits.

Call the society. Find out.

Yes, you can.

Yep they are I start Monday I'm so excited The animals are amazing You can go to their website and fill out on application on there

Was that a sarcastic question Samuel? I don't want to take the time to answer if it was.

1. Choose your Kitty 2. Get interviewed to see if it is a good fit 3. Pay the small fee 4. Take Kitty home. It took about an 2 hours for us because we wanted to hang out with the kitty we loved. Also remember to park in their garage if you are driving. It's free!
