Four Paws Animal Foundation

Four Paws Animal Foundation To adopt one of our rescues, please complete an application, which can be downloaded from our website fourpawsAF.org.

The organization was incorporated in 1997 as an all-volunteer foster home feline rescue/adoption/sanctuary and licensed by the Illinois Department of Agriculture as a shelter with a 501(c)3 status. An appointment can then be made to visit the cats. Since all of our cats are in foster homes, this is the easiest way to schedule a time to meet with the cats.

"Miss Uni" came to us from CACC in 2015 as a 5 month old stray with neurological issues and possible blindness. For all her years with us we have made her as comfortable as possible and she has had good and not so good days. But when I whispered in her ear of all the wonderful donations we recently received from our Amazon Wish List you could tell through her body language it was one of her good days that so many kind people were thinking of Four Paws. Aside from her minor neurological issues she has a good appetite, loves her treats and as sweet as can be.

Its only been a few days since we posted the need of supplies from our Amazon Wish List and we have already received can food, Purina GEMS, trash bags, cute food dishes, Dawn liquid detergent, etc. And our very sweet and beautiful senior lady "MARIELLE" THANKS YOU!! With donations of supplies our budget can focus on medical expenses for our rescues. We found this true a few years ago just after we rescued Marielle in 2019 from animal control. After evaluation from VCA Aurora it was determined that she had a slight stroke and was put on a regimant of medications and repeat follow up exams. And as you can see she recoperated in due time and now enjoys a comfortable life. Yes your donations are important and we are very grateful for your continued support.

"VICKY" came to us from CACC in June 2024 at 13 years of age with 2 large cysts on her stomach and continuing extreme diarrhea but now almost 2 years after surgery and biopsy results of non-cancerous cysts we note with a daily diet of can food mixed with pure pumpkin to help keep her stool semi formed she has been feeling good and cutely poses with her tongue out for the camera. Or maybe just telling me she wants more food!

Our Mr. Personality, "QUINN" is showing off his moves with his 23llb body of love. Quinn came to us with a BB pellet in his eye and furless due to severe Alopecia. Through all the medical care we gave him he never once showed any bad behavior and continues to be a real sweetheart going into his senior years!

We had to say goodbye today to another one of our senior rescues. "BELLA" came to us from CACC in 2016 after her owner had passed. Her intake papers at animal control explained she was taken in by the owners family but then turned outside after a few months. The granddaughters with love in their hearts went and found her and took her in to animal control and thus the beginning of her life at Four Paws. Although she did not show well with strangers for adoption she in time became to adjust to members of the Four Paws family. She loved being called by her name accompanied by ear and belly rubs. Run free sweet beautiful "Bella" we loved you!

Its so good to see these 2 sweet seniors settling in and are a long way away from being left in one carrier in the animal control parking lot overnite. When they first came to Four Paws "Tita" (black & White) 17 years old was very protective of "Tia" but now 12 year old Tia is taking the lead in being the more comforting one to Tita. Either way we love them both!!

We hope that "Penny" with the recent loss of her friend "Brandy" can find some comfort by now sharing her space with our rescue "Vicky". We pulled this sweet Tortie as a stray from CACC back in 2024. Vicky was chippped but animal control was unable to locate the owner and thus Vicky could be pulled by a rescue after a 7 day hold. Research on her chip noted her birthdate as 2011. We had surgery done to remove 2 large cysts near her stomach plus a much needed dental once she arrived at Four Paws. Now at 15 years of age she is doing well but still continues to have some minor medical issues which we watch closely and happy for her now that she will have a friend in "Penny". They did a nose to nose introduction and all seemed good!
