Griffin
One of our core volunteers, Anna, received a call from the Anti Cruelty Society yesterday that a cat chipped to her -- that is, a Hyde Park Cat she had transported for its original veterinary work, including microchipping -- had been turned in. We were able to identify this kitty as a South Side TNR case. However, Griffin "Grau" Kitty is much too handsome and friendly to be put back in an alley. We think he's done his time on the outside!
If you want to visit this gorgeous friendly fluffster he's hanging with the folks at Parker's, a Natural Dog & Cat Market while we seek a foster or furrrrrever home.
Huge thanks to Anna for her quick work retrieving this kitty, and to Thomas, who despite severe allergies allowed this boy to sojourn at their home overnight. Griffin is a lovebug of the highest order and has been calm in his cage. The staff at Parkers love him. He's verrrrry handsome! Write hydeparkcatsadoptions@gmail.com to inquire!

Trevie
Trevie came to us from a North Kenwood location where we have an active TNR volunteer. This little cutie is just a kitten, and it shows.
Her fostermom writes: "Trevie loves to play. She especially loves playing with her laser. Trevie also enjoys joining me in the shower and playing in the water. She sleeps on the pillow next to my head and loves to cuddle at night. She is a very vocal little girl and will let you know when she wants something. Trevie is a little aggressive in her play style so she may not mesh with older cats but she plays very well with my 11 week old puppy."
Here is a video of puppy/kitten playtime!

Bar Rafaeli is waiting
Here are some photos of her in
action (it's tough to get a non-blurry photo of her, since she's always
moving!) and here's a link to a video of her playing with her fox: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=1FoFT8hBlD4 "

Huckleberry
Huckleberry's fosterer writes: "She's doing great. Absolutely adorable, very affectionate, has a good appetite. We've moved her to our spare room so she has more nooks and crannies to explore and more furniture that is inviting to humans so that we can sit (or nap) in there with her for hours and give her the kind of attention she wants.
Pretty much as soon as one of us gets in there, her purr motor gets going and keeps going. She also has this adorable habit of flipping over onto her back to get belly rubs and then flinging her front paws out to the side like a scarecrow or maybe a bird spreading its wings. Silly, but very cute."

Vladimir Fluffington
Vladimir Fluffington was found by a community member while walking his dog. The dog was none too happy with this new being, and so Vladimir Fluffington was brought to us. He enjoys the older male cat in his household, being cute as a button, and playing. Photo two shows relative size as compared to bed. The companions in photo one are not -- we repeat not -- available for adoption. To inquire about Vladimir Fluffington, please email hydeparkcatsadoptions@gmail.com.

Thanks to recent donors: Anna F., who wishes us all a very (belated) happy Mama Cat Day! Our sustaining friend Mike H. Ventzislav M., adopter of Topaz and finder of Violet, who wrote in to thank us (aka MJK) for responding so quickly, for taking in Violet, who wandered into his workshop, and "for everything else you do for the HP kitties." Donors you make all the difference!

Ishy, Michonne, and Darryl
These little cuties came to us from Bridgeport, where our comrades at Throop Street Ferals are hard at work on the homeless kitty problem in their neighborhood. Here's some delicious pictures for you. We'll have more information soon on their particular purrrrsonalities!
