Rescue FAQs

CARF: The Critical Animal Relief Foundation has been established to provide urgent medical, surgical and fostering resources for non-terminal and terminal animals in need of safety, healing and the relief of pain and suffering when time is of the essence and resources are scarce. CARF works independently and in conjunction with other responsible rescue organizations. CARF advocates for proactive legislation to prevent and punish animal abuse, supports animal awareness campaigns targeting at-risk children and adults, sponsors animal assistance programs for marginalized individuals, and funds educational programs to enlighten future generations for the betterment of animal welfare and responsible animal stewardship. We serve Chicago and the greater Chicagoland area.
CARF: The Critical Animal Relief Foundation is based in Chicago, Illinois and serves the city of Chicago and surrounding suburbs. We are an foster home based rescue.

Additional adoption info

Our kitten adoption fee is $175 per kitten or $300 for a pair of kittens. Our cat (over 1 year old) adoption fee is $150.

We are a foster home based rescue. All interested adopters fill out an adoption application prior to meeting a dog or cat. All animals are fully vetted prior to finalized adoption and a home visit is done before the adoption is completed.
