Sunrise Center Animal Rescue

Mochi has left the building🥳

This sweet senior came to us a few months ago in a rough, fragile state. She was closely monitored for the first week of her stay and then bounced back as if nothing was ever wrong!

Now, Mochi is one lucky cat as she’ll be joining a loving Sunrise Alumni home! Thank you so much for choosing another Sunrise cat and being part of our community ❤️

Since the previous event was a success, we will be hosting another Tales with Tails event at our shelter with Rubber Rose Books & Print on Sunday, July 26th from 3-5pm!

Kids of all ages are welcomed to attend this unique event! Seriously, where else are you able to listen to a good story and pet some adoptable cats? 😻📚

Save the date and we’ll see you soon with your littles❤️

🚨 SOS! Sunrise Needs Your Help! 🚨

We are officially down to the wire.

Right now we have:
🐱 Only 4 days of wet food
🍼 Just 1 bag of kitten food left
📦 No small bags of pellet litter for our foster families
🧶 And our shelter cats are desperately in need of cardboard scratchers to keep them happy and enriched while they wait for their forever homes.

Kitten season hasn't slowed down, but our shelves have.

If you've ever wanted to help but weren't sure how, this is one of the easiest and most impactful ways. Every item sent goes directly to the animals in our care and helps us redirect precious donation dollars toward lifesaving medical care.

Kankakee, IL 60901

You're also welcome to drop donations off during our open hours.

Please consider purchasing even one item, and help us by sharing this post. Every bag, every can, every scratcher makes a difference for the animals depending on us. ❤️🐾

🐾 Available for Adoption – Meet Lexie! 🐾

Lexie joined us just two weeks after her brothers, Hoss and Little Joe.

Born on the county fairgrounds to a feral mom in Oklahoma, the litter was trapped and taken to animal control. With an overcrowded shelter and fearful puppies, all three found themselves on the euthanasia list simply because they didn't know how to trust people.

Today, Lexie is ready to write a completely different ending.

At just 5–6 months old and 34 lbs, Lexie is believed to be a Border Collie × Hound mix (DNA results from an adopted sibling are pending). She is fully vetted and ready to find her forever family.

Lexie is still a little shy with new people, but she is HIGHLY treat motivated, making training a breeze. She has discovered that walks are actually pretty fun, is about 85% potty trained, and is dog, cat, and kid friendly.

The biggest surprise? Once separated from her siblings, Lexie's personality began to shine. She's become a whole new dog— learning that belly rubs, melting into ear scratches, and learning people can be pretty wonderful.

All she needs now is someone willing to give her a little patience and watch her confidence bloom. ❤️

If you're looking for a sweet pup who just needs someone to believe in her, Lexie might be your perfect match.

Look at her ears!!! The left is always popped up 💜

It may be gloomy outside, but it’s always bright inside Sunrise!! We will be open TODAY from 12-3pm for some kitty snuggles!

As a reminder:

✅No appointment is required for open hours

✅Kids are allowed (as long as they have a guardian with them)

✅Volunteers are encouraged to come

We hope to see you soon🥰
