Welcome to the Evanston Animal Shelter!

C.A.R.E. is an all volunteer organization that works in conjunction with Evanston's municipal Animal Shelter to find homes for the unwanted and abandoned animals that are brought to the shelter. Since our inception in 1987, C.A.R.E. has been responsible for the adoption of thousands of dogs and cats that would have otherwise been euthanized. C.A.R.E. provides medical treatment and conducts all adoptions for the shelter animals. Read more about C.A.R.E. here.

Zucchini Inspires Adoption Assistance

Ten lucky cats, and lucky families, are set to benefit from one family's love of Zucchini.        

To adopt one of Zucchini’s friends please see our Adoptables page and look for the specially designated cats.

Community Animal Rescue Effort (C.A.R.E.) has received a donation designed to assist ten cats to find homes in memoriam of former C.A.R.E. cat, Zucchini, who passed away after almost twenty years with his grateful owners.  The gift will hopefully inspire potential families to think about giving a home to a special needs cat such as one who may be a bit older or have some medical considerations.

Zucchini’s Gift is a subsidy that decreases the adoption fee from $100 to only $15 for cats selected as Zucchini’s Gift Cats. These cats will be featured on C.A.R.E.’s Adoptables page.

Thank you to the Central Street Merchants!
A HUGE thank you goes out to the merchants on Central Street in Evanston, who presented C.A.R.E. with a check for more than $400. The donation is courtesy of the Central Street Business Association. The group's Nov. 12 Community Day event, where merchants donated a percentage of each sale to a not-for-profit selected by the purchaser, raised quite a bit of much-needed donation money. C.A.R.E. was one of 12 not-for-profits participating.
