Helping Outdoor Cats: George and Hades’ Stories

2025-06-06T22:39:35-05:00

We're all familiar with so-called "outdoor cats." We may even see them somewhat regularly in our neighborhoods. A common perception is that most cats prefer to be outside because they have freedom to follow their instincts such as hunting and having expanded territory. While that may be true where food and fresh water are plentiful, this is rarely the case in urban environments. In [...]

How Compassionate Animal Care Serves the Community

2025-06-06T22:40:27-05:00

Chicago is a model city for urban growth, business, invention, architecture, and quality of life. Unfortunately, our beautiful city has not been a model for compassion, especially regarding companion animals – dogs and cats. Despite our reputation for progressive ways of thinking, under current laws, companion animals like dogs and cats are considered property: commodities that are bought, sold, treated, bred, and traded by [...]

What Sponsoring an Animal Means

2025-06-06T22:41:59-05:00

At Famous Fido Rescue we help many animals that have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment. But we realize that not every person who is touched by an animals store has the ability to adopt. Remembering that every animal only gets one precious life, our goal is to have a positive influence and outcome, making their one precious life the best it can be. Becoming [...]

Sam and His Companions: Gus and Bella

2025-06-06T22:43:09-05:00

Working to see that an animal gets a successful outcome can be time consuming, emotionally tolling, and financially expending. It takes a lot of correspondence, a lot of problem solving, and a lot of commitment. We approach each case on an individual basis and take the time to consider all possibilities before reaching a solution. Often, it takes more than just one solution, as we [...]

2025-06-06T22:45:55-05:00

There is nothing linear about the way we all go through life, there are ups, downs, and in-betweens, but what does that mean when there are animals that rely on us to be their pillar of support? Famous Fido Rescue’s Intervention program was chartered to help people navigate difficult times in their life and develop solutions, so their animals do not have to be [...]
