C.A.R.E. 25 Years

Welcome to C.A.R.E!

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.

Run for WalkRun for Walk
Sunday, July 29

For the past four years, the Walk for Randy has gathered Northwestern fans, supporters and friends of the late Head Coach Randy Walker to honor our former head football coach by taking part in one of his favorite hobbies -walking around Evanston and the NU campus with his wife, Tammy, and their dog, Magic.

This year, the 5k family walk will continue as part of the inaugural Run for Walk, a 4.1 mile run through Evanston's tree-lined streets and along the lakefront on Northwestern's campus. Participants will finish on Ryan Field while watching their achievement on the video board. The unique run distance harkens back to Randy's uniform number 41 during his collegiate playing days at Miami University.

The registration fee for the run or walk is $35 and includes a short-sleeved Under Armour technical shirt, a ticket to a nonconference home football game and entry into the race day fitness fest. Northwestern students may register for $20. The beneficiary of all proceeds is C.A.R.E. for the Evanston Animal Shelter, a local organization with a cause Randy supported.

In addition, the event will feature the free Kids' 'Cat Dash on Ryan Field. All kids eighth grade and under can check their 40- and 100-yard dash times on the same field where Wildcat football players compete.

Zucchini's Gift


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.
