Welcome Friends!

Friends of Chicago Animal Care and Control (FCACC) is the nonprofit group committed exclusively to helping save the lives of over 19,000 animals that come into custody of Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) at 2741 S. Western each year.

How You Can Help

Foster

Providing foster care in your own home for animals transferred to us from ACC is the single most critical way you can help – and one of the most rewarding experiences for anyone passionate about animals.

Donate

Your donations directly help Chicago’s most vulnerable animals by supporting our programs, which include covering urgent veterinary care, providing medical equipment and supplies, and caring for roughly 300 CACC animals in foster care each year. You can donate online here or visit our Donate page for more ways to donate.

Adopt

Change a life forever by giving a deserving animal the second chance they need. Find adoptable dogs and cats on our Adopt page.

Volunteer

Volunteers make our work possible! Chicago Animal Care and Control is always looking for volunteers to walk dogs and socialize cats. See our Volunteer Page for details.
