Crafting & Creating for Cats

Chicagoland Animal Rescue, NFP is a small, all-volunteer cat rescue organization based out of the Downers Grove PetSmart at Butterfield & Finley Rd.

Join us for an on-your-own-time, fun virtual opportunity! Perfect for students who need service hours, too!

If you are a crafty person, we can always use your skills to make carrier pads, cat/dog beds, toys for the cats in our rescue (and to send home with them when they are adopted!), crafts & handmade items for our fundraising sales, enrichment items for the cats in our care, or maybe you have a great talent we haven’t thought of using yet!

In addition, any funds earned from sales of donated items will be used to care for our existing cats and pay our vet bill, and this allows us to continue rescuing felines in need. If you have any experience with fundraising, or would like to help us generate ideas, please contact us - we'll be glad to have your input! Please visit our website, or ask any of our volunteers or adoption counselors if you have questions.

Donations of various kinds are always accepted, including: food for foster cats, toys (no hazardous/swallow-possible parts please), crates, carriers (hard sided and/or top loaders preferred), etc. We are in need of cleaning supplies as well (including items like: paper towels, dish soap/cleaners, bleach, sponges, various cleaning supplies, etc.). Contact us for a full list of items we can accept!

If you can't currently volunteer, please consider making a donation to support cats in need. Thank you for your time!
