C.A.R.A (Citizens for Animal Rescue and Adoption)
Our Mission
Citizens for Animal Rescue and Adoption (C.A.R.A.) is dedicated to providing compassionate, lifelong care for animals in our facility while actively seeking loving forever homes for each pet. We believe every animal deserves a safe environment and the chance to thrive in a permanent, caring family.
Who We Are
As a 501(c)3 non-for-profit, no-kill organization, we serve our community by offering a sanctuary for animals in need. Our goal is to ensure that every resident in our care receives the attention and affection they deserve throughout their natural life, whether they are with us temporarily or stay long-term.
Our Care Model
Operating from our facility located at 609 E 5th St in Tilton, IL, we maintain a dedicated space to house and care for our animals. Because we are committed to providing the best possible life for our residents, we manage our intake based on our available capacity, allowing us to focus on the individual needs of every pet currently under our roof.
Connecting Pets and People
Finding the perfect match for both the animal and the adopter is at the heart of what we do. Our team gets to know the unique personality of each animal—like our sweet, playful, and attention-loving residents—to ensure a happy and successful transition. Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to help you find your new best friend.
