Hyde Park Cats

Hyde Park Cats is dedicated to rescuing, providing medical care, and finding loving homes for homeless cats and kittens in our community. We strive to improve their lives through compassionate care and community engagement.

Enter for a change for YOUR CAT to be the mascot at our Half Marathon Cheer Zone! We&#39;ll be set up at [insert cheer zone spot]&nbsp;to cheer on our runners during their race on September 27th. To help them spot us along the course, we&#39;ll have TWO cat &quot;fat heads&quot; at the cheer zone to wave around. YOUR CAT could be one of our mascots! Each raffle ticket gives you one entry to the raffle. Buy more tickets, get more chances to win! We&#39;ll pull TWO winners. If you win, we&#39;ll reach out for a photo of your cat for the cutout and you&#39;ll have the option to take the cutout home after the cheer zone.
