Read-A-Thon Fundraiser!

Each year, we take in cats from DuPage County Animal Services, owner surrenders, or even strays! Sometimes the kitties are "easy" and don't require much additional care or support other than the typical check up and vaccines. Other times, they need "the works," like bloodwork and a spay/neuter added on. And sometimes, even despite the best care possible before they are adopted, the cats and their families need additional support, like for prescription food, additional vet services, or even the assistance of a behaviorist, to make sure the cats stay healthy and, most importantly, with the families that love them so much!

Join us in this exciting and new fundraiser full of reading with our friends both human and furry, and supporting even more cats in need in 2026!
