Adoptable Animals in the Chicago area

Many wonderful animals are waiting for loving homes. Our cats live in a cageless environment, our rabbits play daily in a cageless environment, and our dogs live in foster homes. So our animals are friendly and well-adjusted and we know their personalities.

Prior to adoption, all Red Door animals are spayed/neutered, vet-checked and microchipped. Adopters get a complete copy of all medical records. Cats are tested for FIV and FelV. Dogs are tested for heartworm. Both cats and dogs receive distemper and rabies vaccines; dogs receive the bordatella vaccine as well. The adoption fee is $125 for cats and rabbits, $200 for pairs, and $350 for dogs. Adopters must be 22 years old. Current photo identification must show your correct address. You must be employed or have a stable source of income. Renters must provide a landlord’s name and phone number or a copy of current lease. And you must provide the name and number of your past or current veterinarian.
