Elaine walks right up to anyone who visits, and is very curious about new people and things.

She’s very playful; she loves playing with any kind of toy but especially wands, and she’ll run, jump, and flip all over the place to try to catch a laser pointer.

She’s not much of a cuddly lap cat, but she always wants to be around people. When her fosterer is walking around, Elaine follows, and when her fosterer is still, Elaine naps next to her.

To meet her, write to us at [email protected] !

Hyde Park Cats is a local, all volunteer group dedicated to helping stray and homeless cats in and around Chicago’s Hyde Park. We received our 501(c)(3) status in 2014 and have had over 1,200 adoptions since our founding in 2008. See all our adoptable kitties on our webpage: http://hydeparkcats.org/adopt/

All of our cats are in loving foster homes, which means the cat you adopt will be familiar with the sounds, smells and movements of life in a home and accustomed to living with humans. He or she has been interacting on a daily basis with people who know this particular cat intimately, and the foster mom or dad can tell you all about the cat’s individual personality, habits, preferences. You can’t judge a cat by its cover! And while we can’t predict the future or know everything about a cat, we can help you choose the cat who is right for you. We have an adoption application and an adoption fee, $95 for the adoption of one cat or $190 for a pair. This fee goes towards covering their vet costs. All cats adopted out by us are neutered/spayed, micro-chipped, tested for FIV/FeLV, and treated with Revolution.
