Sparrow - Domestic Medium Hair Cat for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Sparrow (as in Captain Jack!) is a sweet, curious kitten who loves playtime almost as much as naptime. While she does have a lot of energy, Sparrow is well-mannered and loves to be carried around. She purrs whenever she's picked up, & she loves to tag along for chores around the house, for as long as you're willing to carry her. Personal space is not in her vocabulary, so don't be surprised if she comes to jump in your lap for a quick snuggle... even if you're using the washroom. Sparrow is also a fetch prodigy, & if you catch her in the mood, she will fetch any toy she can get in her mouth. Currently, her favorite toys are springs, strings, & her stuffed jellyfish plushy.

Sparrow would do best in a home where she can share playtime (and naptime) with another kitty friend, especially another young cat. (Hyde Park Cats will only adopt kittens out to homes with a resident cat, or with another kitten.) She is curious and friendly towards other animals, having lived with a senior kitty & a German Shepherd in her foster home. She warmed up to her dog friend almost immediately, & she yearns for the day she can run free & chase the senior kitty around the apartment. Sparrow has perfect little black toe beans, a black nose and whiskers, and when you look closely, you can see that she has faint frosted tips (fuzzy white hairs) on the very tips of her ears. She's a very handsome little lass who recently discovered she can jump and climb to higher ground, especially if her requests for attention have gone unheard.

When she first came to us, Sparrow had an eye infection that left one eye goopy and swollen shut. While she's all healed up now, her namesake came from her one-eyed pirate phase.
