My story

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

Heart is a sweet, companionable cat who truly loves being near her people. She is a "velcro cat" who will follow you from room to room—watching as you cook or clean—and often asks to be held. When she’s in your arms, she likes to bury her face in your sleeve and "make biscuits." While she is still a bit shy and prone to finding clever hiding spots like the inside of a recliner, she is easily coaxed out with the sound of a shaking treat bag.

She has a playful spirit and enjoys chasing laser pointers or wand toys, though she should be supervised with stuffed toys as she tends to chew on them. Heart is a capable jumper who can climb over baby gates, but she has been very respectful of boundaries and stays off the kitchen counters. She is also becoming much more relaxed during mealtimes; while she used to inhale her food, she is now much less anxious and eats at a polite, steady pace.

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.
