Introducing Sylvester, the dapper tuxedo cat with a heart as resilient as his black-and-white coat. At first glance, Sylvester may appear shy, but give him a moment, and you'll witness his transformation into a charming, affectionate companion. This handsome feline has a penchant for headbutts and is not shy about requesting scratches once he's comfortable with you.
Sylvester has faced his share of challenges, including Stomatitis, which necessitated extensive oral surgery resulting in the removal of most of his teeth. Additionally, he battles a kidney stone in his left kidney, requiring a prescription diet for life to prevent further growth. Despite these hurdles, Sylvester's indomitable spirit shines through.
It's important to note that Sylvester is FIV positive, a condition that doesn't dampen his potential for a happy and fulfilling life. With the right care and understanding, Sylvester is ready to embrace a loving home that appreciates his unique needs.
If you're ready to open your heart to a cat who, despite his challenges, radiates warmth and affection, Sylvester is the one for you. Provide him with a loving home where he can continue to thrive, and you'll be rewarded with the company of a resilient and loving feline friend.
Please reach out to the Adoptions Team at adoptions@angelsofassisi.org for more information or to set up a meet-and-greet with Sylvester.
