Dear Friend,


Meet Marty and Tilly. They were rescued today from the city pound and brought to the PAWS Chicago Medical Center for extensive care. They’ll live happy and healthy lives with new families—thanks to you.

On this critically important Giving Tuesday, please join us in celebrating the more than 22,000 pets PAWS cares for each year. And please think of the thousands who still need their second chance.


Your Giving Tuesday gift tonight saves the animals who need us most.  

Please donate and help us earn the full $20,000 Giving Tuesday Match provided by Nancy Aversa and the Robert and Mayari Pritzker Family Foundation.  

Marty, a 4-month-old stray arrived at the city pound with a badly broken leg. He’ll need surgery in the coming days, but today all he wanted was love. He let loose a concert of purrs with every scratch behind his ears.

Marty is now guaranteed everything he needs—medical care, socialization, and, eventually, a family he can call his own.

Six-year-old Tilly is safe now too. X-rays at CACC revealed a mass in her stomach, limiting her ability to eat, and requiring more advanced diagnosis and treatment than CACC’s medical team can provide. She’ll get whatever she needs at PAWS.


Our work is happening in real time—every day—because the need is immediate. Homeless cats and dogs are on the street, hurting, afraid, and alone. They need us. And we need you.

Give now and DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT with the $20,000 Giving Tuesday Match by Nancy Aversa and the Robert and Mayari Pritzker Family Foundation.
