Friends For Life FREE pet food pantry

Friends has placed two huge vermin-proof storage lockers, one at the city shelter, one at the 11th District Police Station in East Garfield Park. We’re stocking them with food and other pet supplies our dedicated volunteers give away FREE to pet owners in need. Supporting this effort helps keep people and their pets together, especially in the difficult times we are facing now.

Kittens and cats of all colors, ages and purr-sonalities will be all over the place at the downtown Petco at 440 N. Orleans on Saturday, August 17 from 11am-3pm! Adoption fees will be waived–yes! That means FREE kitties! You still have to fill out an application and pass our normal approval process, but there’s no fee. All animals come from the city shelter and will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, tested for nasty stuff, and more. It’s the deal of the summer! Parking in the Kingsbury lot on Illinois just west of Orleans is FREE for a 1/2 hour.
