My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sidney is the kind of cat who looks like he stepped out of a fairy tale—deep, dark fur like the forest at night, and golden eyes that glow with mystery. He’s got a soft, floofy body that makes you want to scoop him up (even though he’d probably politely decline), and tiny careful paws that patter across the floor like whispers.

He’s shy at first—definitely the “I’ll watch you from over here” type—but once he starts trusting you, the sweetness trickles out in little doses: a gentle headbutt, a slow blink, a soft purr when you scratch just the right spot on his cheeks. He’s the kind of cat who won’t jump into your lap, but might sit nearby, watching you with quiet loyalty, like he’s guarding the peace of the room.

When Sidney meows, it’s almost like he’s talking to himself—little dramatic yowls when he walks between zones or finishes eating, as if he’s narrating his journey. Sensitive, gentle, a little dramatic, and endlessly endearing—Sidney is a soft shadow with a golden heart.

Sidney tested positive for FIV, but like the many other FIV cats who have found homes through Hyde Park Cats she can live safely with non-FIV positive cats, and live a long happy life.

More about this rescue

Hyde Park Cats is a local, all volunteer group dedicated to helping stray and homeless cats in and around Chicago's Hyde Park. We received our 501©(3) status in 2014 and we were founded in 2008. See all our adoptable kitties on our webpage: http://hydeparkcats.org/adopt/

All of our cats are in loving foster homes, which means the cat or cats you adopt will be familiar with the sounds, smells and movements of life in a home and accustomed to living with humans. Our adoptable have been interacting on a daily basis with people who know this particular cat intimately, and the foster mom or dad can tell you all about the cat's individual personality, habits, preferences. You can't judge a cat by its cover! And while we can't predict the future or know everything about a cat, we can help you choose the cat who is right for you.

We have an adoption application and an adoption fee. This fee goes towards covering their vet costs. All cats adopted out by us are neutered/spayed, micro-chipped, tested for FIV/FeLV, and treated for fleas and worms.
