Violet

Violet is a gorgeous long-haired tortie who was living in the streets of Englewood, a neighborhood to our west. Erin B. contacted us about how to TNR her alley, and voila -- Violet! Violet is a super sweet girl who is adjusting well to indoor life; she has a favorite hiding spot under the bed, but once you start petting her there's no way she's going to let you stop! She's full of purrs and loves lounging in laps but enjoys chasing feet around the house too. Fostermom says "She is an absolute love bug." Email hydeparkcatsadoptions@gmail.com to apply to adopt this special girl.

Although Violet has a clean bill of health and is neg/neg, her alley companion Grantham (yes, this is a "Downton Abbey" theme) tested positive for FeLV. Read this fact sheet on FeLV to learn more about this disease that affects so many street cats.
