Cat Cora + three

A lovely photo, courtesy of Vicky, of Cat Cora nursing her ... three kittens. I'm sorry to report that Kismet has met an early demise. However, the remaining three kittens are happy and healthy and growing big. Karma, the remaining male, has curly fur! Kindle is a girl (as is Connie). The family made a trip to the vet and received the thumbs-up ("they look wonderful"). Kittens have even started to play and pounce. Remember, reserve your kitten early and avoid disappointment!

One of our fluffy construction kittens with a 3.5-year-old friend. We are busy socializing all these kittens for their forever homes ... Cora is a very tame and friendly cat, not a feral at all, and all the kittens are also regular friendly pet cats. Do you have a white couch that needs some black fur on it?

tortie returns; orange cat still missing

Tortiecat Evie (see below) returned last night at 1 a.m.; orange cat (see two posts below) is still out there ... keep your eyes peeled!

missing cat, second one today! added pix

MISSING: EVIE. She is a very small brown tortoiseshell cat, no more than 7 or 8 pounds, spayed, and she has not been declawed. She is very talkative and likes to yowl and chirp. She knows her name, but doesn't necessarily come when called. Slipped out of her building at 61st and Greenwood.

missing cat

Gabe slipped out of the building (corner of 55th and Hyde Park Blvd) somewhere in the past few hours. He is an orange/ginger cat with a stripey tail. He is thin and not in any way aggressive. He is not wearing a collar.

Please email us at hydeparkcats@gmail.com with any information or sightings.

Cora

So it turns out Cora ("Iron Mama Cat Cora") is a friendly! Thank goodness, since we didn't want to have to return her to the construction site. Cora, a long-haired beauty, enjoys petting, eating wet food, and relaxing. More details as time goes on. We will be seeking a special home for our golden-eyed lovely. Do you want to provide a forever home to this special Hyde Park resident?

Figi meets a friend

Here is Figi in the arms of a three-and-a-half year old friend (20-month-old enthusiastic friend not pictured). He allowed himself to be adored and loved and never showed even a hint of intolerance. Luckily no doll clothes were available or Figi would have been pressed into service as a babydoll, he is that sweet.

Figi is a cat with some special needs: he is deaf and he is FIV positive. Many shelters have decided to place FIV positive and negative cats together, as it is not easily transmitted. Other special needs of Figi: a thousand pets, a lap, some love. He is the sweetest.
