Taffy keeps getting left behind... Originally adopted in 2017 from us, she lost EVERYTHING when her owner passed away. She waited patiently for a second chance—then finally got one. Until...

Taffy thought it was forever. It wasn’t. Her adoption recently fell through, and now Taffy’s back in foster, confused and heartbroken all over again. She’s 8 years old. A favorite among everyone who meets her. Taffy just wants someone to stay. Please share her story.

Your act of compassion — and generosity — is an animal’s lifeline. Especially this spring, when we’ll open our doors to a surge of litters and homeless animals. Please give to the 2025 Spring Campaign to transform lives: bit.ly/41TCRWc

This Volunteer Appreciation Week, we celebrate YOU—our everyday heroes with the biggest hearts. Thank you for being such an essential part of our mission.

This #VolunteerAppreciationWeek, we’re giving a big, purring THANK YOU to our neonate fosters who literally transform lives with love (and a lot of kitten formula). Think you’ve got what it takes to be a baby kitten lifeline? Join the snuggle squad: anticruelty.org/foster

BEST Care for Animals plays a critical role at Anti-Cruelty. Every single animal in our care can have a cozier stay because our volunteers support this important effort. Thank you! 💕 #VolunteerAppreciationWeek #VolunteerAppreciationWeek2025 #VAW #VAW2025

It is #VolunteerAppreciationWeek, and we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the amazing adoption matchmaker volunteers. Adoption matchmakers help the adoption team make connections between pets and people to help place animals into their forever homes. Thank you! 💜

It’s Foster Friday—during Volunteer Appreciation Week! We’re celebrating the incredible volunteers who make our mission possible, including the dedicated fosters who open their hearts and homes to animals in need. Thank you for all you do!

Volunteer Appreciation Week is coming to a close. But the animals didn’t get the memo. They’re still expecting ear scratches, cuddle sessions, and someone to tell them they’re a very good boy/girl and fuzz ball. That someone… could be you: anticruelty.org/volunteer 🐾

BREAKING MEWS & PAW-SOME NEWS: It’s time to Empty the Shelters, May 1–15 at Anti-Cruelty! Thanks to our fur-tastic friends at BISSELL Pet Foundation and Cathy Bissell, adoption fees are just $50 for dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens.

Duckie was only weeks old when someone found her in a garbage can. Thankfully, it wasn’t too late to save her. You still have time to give to the 2025 Spring Campaign to Save Lives … so we can be ready for the next pet like Duckie. Be a hero: bit.ly/4iPqSPm

Adtalem team members from our Chicago HQ had the amazing opportunity to volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty society, where they helped create enrichment toys and other much-needed items for local animals in need. Great way to end our #MonthofService!

New hours, who dis? Starting May 19, we’re shifting our schedule to better serve pets and their people! More evening adoption hours = more care + more tail wags + more cuddles. Full details👉 anticruelty.org/new-hours

Bottle babies, baby bottles, and a whole lot of mews! Join us for our Kitten Shower this Sunday from 11A–1P in our River North Adoption Lobby (510 N. LaSalle Dr., Chicago)! Admission is just one item from our wishlist (AKA your ticket to cuddle heaven): amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

Rebecca: 1, Us: 0 (for 4 months) Too smart for our traps. Too sneaky for daylight. We built a DIY trap with a hot dog and caught her after she survived a whole winter solo. Now she’s safe and slowly learning that head scratches are actually… kinda nice.

Adoption fees are still just $50 through May 15 thanks to our friends at BISSELL Pet Foundation and Cathy Bissell—but after that, it’s back to regular prices and fewer boops per square foot. Don’t ghost your future best friend 👻!
