CORE is PACT Humane Society's feral cat program. The purpose of the CORE Program is to teach & provide resources to enable the public to practice Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return.

PACT serves northwest suburban Cook and DuPage counties.  See our Links page for other feral cat organizations in Illinois.  A great place to start is the TNR Chicago web site.
