Titus has a home

An edited report from Titus' rescuer:

Titus now resides in a third floor walk-up in Hyde Park. He has new dishes. They match. He has a new cat bed, but so far, I'm told, strongly prefers the human bed. He has a new litter box that suits him. When I phoned a little bit ago to make sure everything was good at the new place, Titus had had a lot of massage and was getting a Reiki treatment.

Titus has tested positive for FIV--Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.

And he has a forever home.

Titus is Alone and Wants a Home

Candace, Titus' champion, writes:

Okay, I admit it. Titus is not conventionally beautiful. He has a big tomcat head. He is stocky. He has a small voice and a loud purr. He trusts too fully to be a hipster sort of cat. He is not especially nervous. He answers to his name.

He is battle-scarred after two years of being a homeless house-cat. He also has, in my view, the finest spirit of any cat I have met. He loves company, but isn't pushy about it. He loves his bed and his dish. He looks like a toughie and isn't one. He is deeply loyal.

He's that kind of cat guy.

If anyone has a space for Titus, please let me know.

Filled With Hope for Titus,

Candace

***Titus will be going to the vet tomorrow for neutering and vaccines. If you are interested in meeting Titus, please leave a comment with your contact info, or email me at hydeparkcats AT gmail DOT com.***

Sherlock is found, Fuzzy has a home

Sherlock showed up at his rescuer's window last night at 10:30 p.m. Hmmm ... he must have followed a lot of clues to solve the mystery of how to get back. Amazing! Mazel tov, Vicky!

In other cat news, Fuzzy, one of our "Mammacat + 5 kittens" from earlier this summer, has found a permanent home. Here he is, in situ. He is now named Bokeh, which means blurry or fuzzy in Japanese. Happy home, Bokeh!

See this original post about "Mammacat + 5 kittens."

UPDATE on Sherlock

Sherlock is in trouble.

Today he actually escaped from the car that was taking him to the vet (Hyde Park Vet on 51st and Harper).

"Home base" for Sherlock is near St. Thomas the Apostle Church, near Kimbark and 55th St.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: If you live or go anywhere between those two destinations during the next few days, keep your eye out for Sherlock. He may still be wearing a collar with the name and number of his rescuer.

If you're really motivated to look for Sherlock, he "likes the sight of bowls/paper plates, and he really prefers wet beef pate, but also the sound of kibble pouring onto the bowl or paper plate. He didn't really respond to the sound of a can being cracked open."

CALL (deleted now that Sherlock is found) WITH ANY SIGHTINGS.

Sherlock: off the street!

Meet Sherlock, a handsome gray-and-white Hyde Park alley cat. He's been chowing down regularly at an alley feeding station, and while he wouldn't allow any actual contact, it turns out "he's very sweet and affectionate--all of a sudden, two days ago he let me pet him and then pick him up. Then he wouldn't leave my yard." Sherlock is going to the vet today for some tests and I will report back later on his health and status. Vicky, excellent work on this rescue!

that was quick

Czarina has been adopted!

LOST BLACK CAT

Lost: black cat (between 55th and 56th on Kimbark).

He may have been seen several times in the alley behind St. Thomas the Apostle Church, but he appears to be roaming widely.

His one distinctive feature is a funny toe--it is slightly raised and looks odd. Likes cans of wet food (not tuna) and 'treat' bags of kibble; if you see him, try cracking open a can, if possible, or crinkling a treat bag. Friendly, but may be frightened.
