Missing tabby & white ear-tipped cat 53rd / Cornell--"Freddie". This cat used to live outside at this location, but he is now an indoor-only cat. However, when he got out, another cat got into a fight with him and Freddie ran off. He has not been seen since.

Please check sheds, garages, and basements; look up into trees and rooftops. Report all sightings.

Missing brown tabby, needs heart meds, 54th / Ingleside "Arya". Arya has been missing since Friday. Her owner is currently out of town and the caretakers cannot find her. "She is a smaller brown tabby cat with whisks at the edge of her ears." May be shy at first, but is otherwise friendly. She is also chipped.

She is an indoor-outdoor cat who may be within 2-3 blocks of her home. If you live nearby, please check your sheds, basements, garages, etc. Please look up into trees and on rooftops.

If you see her please email us at [email protected]. You can also comment below but we will see your message sooner if you email.

Espresso’s torn ears reflect a much rougher life than his personality reflects. His foster family nicknamed him Lover Boy, because he is a pro cuddler who always welcomes affection. When they call him, he always comes running with his raspy purr, looking for head bumps and back rubs. He would do great in a home on his own or with another pet. He is sensitive to change, but once he is comfortable, he’s a perfect companion.

We don’t have any pictures of Espresso’s beans, so if you want to see them, you’ll have to meet him! Email [email protected] to find out how.

Update: volunteer went out at 11 pm to check for a chip but cat had eaten the food and left. Reporter will keep an eye out. It is likely the cat is scared and escaped or was dumped from indoors. Please spread the word if you know people in this area.

Very upset loose black cat (not moving) near 45th and Calumet.

Report: The cat is in "Bronzeville off of MLK and 45th. This cat has been in our back car park this whole day and has stayed in the exact same spot. Many of the folks in my building don’t recognize it, and it seems to be really spooked. It hasn’t eaten anything or drank any water as well."

We don't know what is going on with this cat yet. If you recognize it or know anyone whose black cat has escaped, let us know. Not yet scanned but if they can get near it they will try.

Anyone attempting to rescue it:*** HPC has no immediate space. *** We cannot cover medical bills for cats not yet in our program. We can offer others forms of support and plenty of advice.

Loose tortie kitten near 54th and Drexel. Someone has been seeing this kitten every day in the alley behind 5417 S Drexel. They have not attempted to feed her yet and they are unable to take her in. She will allow them to approach within 3-4 feet before shying away (without food).

Does anyone recognize her?

She should be scanned for a chip and, ideally, rescued. **But HPC has no immediate foster space and other rescues are likely to have waiting lists as well.

If anyone can at least feed her to keep her around until help can be found, or if anyone wants to take on her rescue and care themselves, HPC can provide step by step advice and access to some veterinary discounts and supplies. HPC cannot pay for vet car. We can lend a trap and our scanner, a litter box, etc.

Please at least report further sightings.

Update: please do not try to catch or feed these cats. The best thing to do is report any sightings. We only want one person feeding them so that we can get them on a schedule for trapping. We can only trap when we have a TNR appointment lined up, and unfortunately they missed this week’s appointment. Thank you to all who reached out!

Help needed finding feral mom and kitten on Hyde Park Blvd!

One of our volunteers has been trying to trap a feral mom and her last kitten for over a week. They are being fed on Hyde Park Blvd between 55th and 56th, but the last few days have only been spotted occasionally. If you have seen these cats, and especially if you are feeding these cats, please let us know ASAP!
