ADOPT, FOSTER, DONATE, VOLUNTEER!

Hyde Park Cats is an all-volunteer 501©(3) rescue helping cats in and around Chicago’s Hyde Park since 2008.

If you are interested in ADOPTING, check out our available cats and kittens here: http://hydeparkcats.org/adopt/ All of our adoptable kitties can be visited in their foster homes. For more information, including our adoption application, please contact us at hydeparkcatsadoptions@gmail.com For our adoption policies, see our information page here: http://hydeparkcats.org/available/

If you are interested in FOSTERING, read more about the benefits of fostering here: http://hydeparkcats.org/fostering-cats/ and contact us at hydeparkcatsadoptions@gmail.com to apply. We always need fosterers, and every person who fosters for us makes a difference in saving a life, or several.

If you are interested in DONATING, THANK YOU for helping us do what we do! We gladly accept donations through our pay pal account (link in upper right hand of this page). We also welcome donations of food, litter, toys, scratching posts, etc. If you have something to donate, contact hydeparkcats@gmail.com or “contact us” through this page and we will coordinate with you.

Mon Ami Tabby

Mon Ami Tabby is a 1-year-old male and an absolute sweetheart of a cat. His cat behaviors are what you always dreamed a cat would be, a relaxed companion. He wants you to sit down so he can sit on you and make biscuits and purr all day long.

Mon Ami enjoys laps and being scratched by the ears. He enjoys dry food and wet food. He uses the litter box like a pro. He would be a good match for a first time cat caretaker. He would probably be very happy in a single cat household considering how much attention he enjoys. We don’t have evidence of how he is with other cats or dogs yet. He is such a lap cat that the majority of photos I can snap are on my lap!

To meet him, write to us at hydeparkcatsadoptions@gmail.com

Clara

Meet adoptable Clara!

Clara is a stunningly beautiful girl Calico, domestic shorthair. She is still young and playful, but needs some extra attention to make sure she gets enough physical activity. She enjoys playing with string toys, cat-safe balls, and red laser toys but will make you work for it! She also loves scratch boards. Clara loves food — just as much as we do, who can blame her? She is motivated by food and will make her cravings known to you. It will be important to set a firm boundary around meal times and portions so she gets the hint.

She is very talkative in general, and sometimes forgets you’re home and will call out for you. She has lots of different voices and sayings, which are always fun to hear. She enjoys cozy and comfortable spots around the house and has different periods when she likes to change up her napping spots.

Clara is very loving and enjoys pets frequently, but also just likes to sit close by and be in your company, and will often take your seat if you get up — so watch out! She is also serious about her hygiene – she keeps herself very well groomed throughout the day and somehow manages to keep her fur shinning in sunlight and smelling sweet. She is not a big shedder and is comfortable getting brushed.

Clara is good around plants, is not a big jumper, and doesn’t have an itch to knock things over or scratch anything that’s not her toys, which we appreciate. She would make a great member of a loving family and we think she could get along with other pets, like a dog. She is diplomatic towards others species; no drama. She has filled our hearts with her spirit and we are certain she will do the same for you!

Clara has tested positive for FelV. Many cats who test positive for FelV never exhibit symptoms and can live long normal lives. It is important that they live only with other FelV positive cats, although they can live safely with dogs and other pets without risk of transmission.

To meet her, write to us at hydeparkcatsadoptions@gmail.com
