Cherie Travis created the PACT Humane Society’s no-kill animal shelter seven years ago, but finds the problem of stray cats and kittens in the Northwest suburbs reaching an all-time high.
PACT, which stands for People and Animals in Community Together, runs adoption centers at both PetSmart stores in Schaumburg.
The group has the sole responsibility for saving all the stray cats and kittens found in Schaumburg, Rolling Meadows, Hoffman Estates, Palatine, Streamwood and Barrington Hills, Travis said.
Though the PACT shelters have a no-kill policy, as long as its 20 cages are full, many other cats that can be adopted are being sent to other places where they could eventually be euthanized, she said.
