Garfield came to us from a cat colony south of Hyde Park. He was TNRed back in 2012, but was too sweet to stay outside. Recently the buildings in the area where he and his caretaker lived were slated for demolition so he had to be moved. HPC volunteers worked with his caretaker to take him in and found a foster home for this big orange love.

We are happy to report that he is really getting the hang of indoor living. His fostermom writes that he is doing great: “He’s adapting very well to apartment life. He is extremely affectionate and loves getting attention.”

More recently fostermom wrote that “he is doing very well and his personality has been really emerging over the last week. He’s incredibly affectionate and most of the time just wants to be close to me (which often includes climbing onto my textbooks when I’m reading), although he’s also able to entertain himself by looking out the window or playing with toys. He loves scratches behind the ears, little toy mousies, and his kitty bed. He also loves to be held, and lets me hold him on his back in my lap and rub his belly (on his schedule, of course). He doesn’t let me forget when it’s time to eat and can be very vocal when he’s hungry!”
