Sidney

My story

Sidney is the kind of cat who looks like he stepped out of a fairy tale—deep, dark fur like the forest at night, and golden eyes that glow with mystery. He’s got a soft, floofy body that makes you want to scoop him up (even though he’d probably politely decline), and tiny careful paws that patter across the floor like whispers. He’s shy at first—definitely the “I’ll watch you from over here” type—but once he starts trusting you, the sweetness trickles out in little doses: a gentle headbutt, a slow blink, a soft purr when you scratch just the right spot on his cheeks. He’s the kind of cat who won’t jump into your lap, but might sit nearby, watching you with quiet loyalty, like he’s guarding the peace of the room. When Sidney meows, it’s almost like he’s talking to himself—little dramatic yowls when he walks between zones or finishes eating, as if he’s narrating his journey. Sensitive, gentle, a little dramatic, and endlessly endearing—Sidney is a soft shadow with a golden heart. Sidney tested positive for FIV, but like the many other FIV cats who have found homes through Hyde Park Cats she can live safely with non-FIV positive cats, and live a long happy life.
