Fox Valley Animal Welfare League
Adoptions
We operate a spay/neuter clinic; we do not accept animals nor do we adopt animals at our clinic. We work with many local rescue groups to spay and neuter animals that they have for adoption. Please see our list of groups who maintain adoption programs.

1. Spay or neuter your own cats - Our low cost spay/neuter programs make it affordable.
Even if your cat only goes outside occasionally, there is a chance of an unwanted litter, and mating just once starts a domino effect resulting in dozens of homeless kittens. Cats can become pregnant as young as five months of age. Fortunately, kittens as young as two months and weighing two pounds can be safely altered.
2. Support our mission – keeping companion pets out of the shelter system.
Donate supplies, donate money or donate your time.
3. Provide care for homeless or feral (untamed) cats in your local area.
Learn what you can do in your community.
4. Become a foster parent - Becoming a foster parent is a vital way you can make a life-saving difference.
Illinois requires you to be a licensed animal foster. Contact rescues such as HELP, Purrs, or Catnap From The Heart.
5. Adopt – adopt a shelter cat or dog and experience the joy of a companion animal!
June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. Refer to the following list for shelters and rescues.
