Ted

I can barely see over my own ruff!

This morning one of our volunteers met Ted for the first time. When Fostermom opened the door and Ted saw this new person, he immediately began to knead his paws. Then the new person picked him up and ... Ted wrapped his arms around her neck and gave a big hug, purring away. 

Ted came into Animal Welfare League as a stray, but judging from his appearance (he's a big boy!) and super-sweet personality, he was clearly somebody's pet once. He loves to be cuddled and will curl up in your lap as you brush his beautiful long coat. 

Ted is a typical Maine Coon type cat, with a very fluffy and luxurious coat which will need plenty of grooming from his personal assistant (you, his new owner). He has a lovely ruff of fur around his neck, fun toe floof, and plenty of wonderful fur to touch. Please note that he will require daily grooming help and is therefore not for the busiest of homes. Maine Coon types cats typically prefer companionship and love, and should be in a home where they can have plenty of it.

He would make the perfect fluffy companion for someone seeking a mellow, low-maintenance addition to their home.

Ted is an adult male. He will be fine as a only pet but has been nonaggressive with the other adult cats in his fosterhome.  Please email us at hydeparkcatsadoptions@gmail.com to meet Ted!

Louise and friend

AVAILABLE for ADOPTION. Miss Louise came in from a feral-cat colony and is ready to find her forever home. This beautiful tortie is spayed, up-to-date on her shots, and is about six months old. She comes to the kitchen when she is hungry, and purrs and miaws to explain that it's time for her lunch. She is still a little on the shy side still and would need a home where her people understand that she used to be a little outside kitteh. Here is Louise pictured with her friend and nemesis, Ted E. Bear. Older Louise news.

Black and White Cat World: Kennedy and Karo

Kitten rescues have been keeping us busy, but that doesn't mean we can forget about our regulars at the various alleys, including Black and White Cat World. Diane has been feeding and tending her colony and it's been stable (except for one known litter -- damn that Juniper). Ellis, Little Buddy and Finzi circle the van as the food is being delivered, and then Ingleside will appear out of nowhere after the food is all doled out. Nimr, Rachamim and occasionally Rambam can generally be seen later in the evening. There has been a kitten in the other backyard who finally ventured into the alley in July and is pictured above (black and white) -- Kennedy. RIP Ted! The black cat pictured above has been hanging around for about a month and is Karo (continuing our tradition of rabbinical names for Black and White World cats).
