Clinic Grand Opening & Kitten Shower

Noah's Ark Animal Clinic had a glow up! In March 2020, we were ecstatic to finally open our new 7,000 square foot clinic at 321 N 4th St., Rockford. But then, the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We were still operational but never celebrated with a grand opening. Fast forward to August 2022, it was decided to close the clinic to do some restructuring of programs and initiatives that better serve the Noah's Ark mission.

Now, 5 years after being in our new building, we're ready to celebrate and show everyone all that Noah's Ark Animal Clinic has to offer! Please join us for our ribbon cutting ceremony on Sunday, March 23 at 1:30pm! Stick around for refreshments, facility tours, information on our programs and services, and our first ever kitten shower!


Purrrfect kittens are the way!
Please join us for our Kitten Shower on Sunday, March 23 from 2pm - 4pm at our clinic. Enjoy games, raffles, refreshments, tours of our new clinic, and learn about how you can help cats and kittens in our community through fostering and trap-neuter-return.

This event is free and open to the public. We just ask that all guests bring an item from our Kitten Season wish list:
Kitten Milk Replacer
Kitten Bottles
Miracle Nipples
Kitchen Scales
Heat Discs
Plush Cat with Battery Heartbeat
Nutrical Supplement
Cat Carrier with Top Door
Royal Canin Mama Babycat Dry & Wet Food
Small Blankets

Can't attend? Please consider donating through our Amazon wish list (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1FQDMJNNMFHRS...).

Please help us as we prepare for the 400+ cats and kittens that will board the Ark this kitten season!

Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary, Inc. Hosts “Palentine’s Day Adoption Special”

Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary located at 111 N 1st St., Rockford, IL 61104 is hosting a “Palentine’s Day Adoption Special” in hopes to get dogs and cats adopted into loving homes. On Friday, February 14th from 12:00pm - 5:00pm adopters can adopt cats and dogs at reduced fees.

We have many cats and dogs that have been residents of Noah’s Ark for many weeks, if not months. They are all great pets, they just often get overlooked but we know there is someone out there looking for a new pal this Valentine’s Day!

They are such sweet cats and dogs so we hope this adoption special will help them to finally find their loving, forever homes. The reduced adoption rates are $25 for a cat over 6 months old and $150 for a dog over 6 months old. Exotic cats and purebred dogs are not included in this adoption special.

All of our animals leave Noah’s Ark spayed or neutered, current on all age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and dewormed. They also receive an exam from a veterinarian.

“If you’re looking for a little extra love, please come meet some of our animals. They are all socialized and great with people. We hope this special will help connect them to their purrfect, furever family,” said Brooke Pond, Shelter Manager.

Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary is Partnering with Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services to offer $20 Adoptions to Veterans with “Paws for Patriots” Event

US Veterans are invited to visit Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary, located at 111 N. 1st St, Rockford, IL, on November 8, 2024 from 3pm-6pm for Paws for Patriots where Whispering Willow Pet Funeral and Cremation will sponsor up to $2000 worth of cat and dog adoptions for US Veterans. 

For this special event, US Veterans from Winnebago County and Boone County will only need to pay $20 towards the adoption of their new furry friend. All adopters will still need to meet adoption requirements, which are listed at https://www.noahsarkanimals.org/adoption-info. Veterans will need to provide proof of their Veteran status.

If potential adopters would like to expedite the adoption process, we encourage that they submit an adoption application prior to the event. Adoptions are limited to 1 animal per Veteran. All animals aboard the Ark are included in the adoption special. 

There will be various vendors present including Woodfire Pizza, Dyvine’s Pet Playhouse, and possibly a few others. If you wish to be a vendor for this event, please contact Brooke at brooke@noahsarkanimals.org.

“Animals offer a sense of support and healing that everyone deserves and needs. We are grateful to Whispering Willow for sponsoring these adoptions so our US Veterans can adopt a companion at a minimal fee,” says Brooke Pond, Shelter Manager.
