Fat Cat Rescue, Inc. is an all volunteer based-, nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the feral and stray cat population by partnering with trap-neuter-return programs and by finding homes for adoptable cats and kittens. Our focus is on cats, but we help any homeless, injured, or abused animal that we encounter. Fat Cat Rescue, Inc. partners with trap-neuter-return groups to address the issue and needs of feral cat populations in Lake County, IL. Our priorities are to: Trap and transport cats to established TNR programs, return feral cats to their colonies, and provide food and winter shelters to caretakers. Care for feral cat colonies that do not have caregivers and for cats whose caregivers have moved, lost their homes, or have passed away; Arrange for foster care for socializing feral kittens and adoptable cats, with the goal of finding them permanent homes; Relocate feral cats in dangerous situations to safe areas. Assist any animal in an emergency situation or with a life-threatening medical condition and, if needed, contact an appropriate rescue group.
