What should I know about Barb's Precious Rescue?

Barb’s Precious Rescue and Adoption Center is a safe and humane haven for cats and kittens that have been abused, abandoned, or neglected. We opened our doors in 2014.

We are a volunteer, 501(C)(3) NFP organization with all funds directly assisting our animals, and we are a no-kill facility.

Question 2

I saw an animal that I am interested in on your PetFinder site or social media pages. How can I meet it?

Accepted Answer

The best way to meet a cat or kitten is to visit our facility, Barb's Precious Rescue and Adoption Center, located at 313 N Quentin Road, Palatine, IL 60067 during our public visiting hours:

Sundays
10:30am - 12:30pm

Wednesdays
6:00pm - 8:00pm

Our staff would be happy to introduce you to cats and kittens available for adoption.

Question 3

The animal description states that the pet has "special needs."  What does this mean?

Each cat available for adoption that is indicated as "special needs" will have details on the pet's medical or behavioral information.

BPRAC staff will address these details with interested adopters.
