Join us at Sprocket & Stone this Caturday from 12-3 PM and meet Salem and Yukon.

You’ve heard us talk about moving season for years, and both of these cats were sadly left behind when their owners moved at the start of summer. Salem was left in an apartment in Hyde Park and Yukon was found in a carrier in Woodlawn, on the street next to all his supplies. Salem and Yukon are two of the lucky ones though. Their neighbors - both HPC adopters - stepped up and took them in as fosters. Now these kitties are ready to put this all behind them and find their forever families.

Salem and Yukon are fully vetted and are both cat-friendly. Each can be adopted into a home with or without resident cats. Stop by Caturday on 6/27 to meet these sweet boys, or email [email protected] to meet them in their foster homes.

Well-fed tabby at 5631-5639 Kenwood...possibly abandoned? This cat has been hanging out in this courtyard for a while now. No one in the building has claimed it. Does anyone recognize it? Not yet scanned.

Salem is a handsome gray tuxedo cat who loves head rubs, cheek scritches, and snuggles so much, it’s hard to take his picture. If you are down on his level, he comes right up to you and demands affection. Salem’s favorite things include wet food, toy mice, and any attention from anyone. He’s a lover and not a fighter, so Salem gets along well with other kitties. He is FIV+, but that doesn’t mean he can’t live with other cats.

Bubba is a cuddly cat who warms up easily to everyone. In addition to his extensive experience snuggling in beds and laps, he totally rocks at sunbathing, curling up in specifically dining chairs, and staring out the window. If cats had resumes, Bubba’s would also include chatting, catching wand toys, and being a snack bandit in the “skills” section.

TRANSPORT FOUND. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

URGENT! TRANSPORT NEEDED FROM SOUTH LOOP TO FOX LAKE ANIMAL HOSPITAL IN . . . FOX LAKE.

Huckleberry needs PU surgery (perineal urethrostomy) to address a urinary track blockage; he is currently at VEG in the South Loop, but he needs to get to Fox Lake Animal Hospital in Fox Lake (near the Wisconsin border) today for this lifesaving surgery. It's about an hour from Chicago.

Fox Lake Animal Hospital has the most affordable price for this surgery. All the other vets in Chicagoland charge at least $2000 more, so if you can help by transporting Huckleberry from South Loop to Fox Lake today, please email the medical coordinators at [email protected]

Found orange and white cat with collar - 55th / Blackstone. This cat was wearing a collar but there were no tags. He was terrified of the cars. He has not yet been scanned for a chip. If you recognize him, let us know.

Loomis, aka Loomie, was found on the street with a badly healed broken leg. While her leg injury may appear shocking, it doesn’t stop her from catting. In fact, Loomy enjoys a long list of typical feline activities, including climbing cat trees, chasing wand toys, and gobbling churu sticks. She would do best in a home with another cat, as she has had a friendly big brother in each of her foster homes to help her transition into her new space and benefited greatly from the company.

While Loomy may be skittish at first, people who offer her patience are rewarded with her affection and get to pet her beautiful soft fur. Interested? Email [email protected].

Yukon is big in both stature and personality! He’s currently 15 lbs and still a bit skinny! We’re working on bulking him up after finding him abandoned in an alley. Yukon purrs loudly as soon as you start petting him and loves to rest at his foster family’s feet while they sleep. He’s super playful and loves jumping to catch the cat dancer, but this sweet kitty also has a thoughtful side, which you’ll see when he gazes out the window at people passing by.

If you’d like to meet Yukon, email us at [email protected]!

We’re heartbroken to share that Hyde Park Cats alum Presley recently passed away in a house fire after 10 years in his forever home. Presley was rescued off the streets in distress, scrawny, and with a deep and infected neck wound caused by a makeshift shoelace collar. Despite the trauma, he was incredibly loving and affectionate, and it didn’t take him long to be adopted. His mom shared that he was ever the sweetest boy, always nearby and quick to join her on the sofa at her hip or under a blanket, purring loudly and making biscuits, as happy as can be.

Presley's family has made a generous donation in his memory to cover the cost of an upcoming ACL surgery for Hyde Park Cats cat Sasha. Their donation is life-changing and will bring Sasha one step closer to his own forever family. We’re incredibly grateful for their support and the loving home that they gave Presley these past 10 years.
