Sylvester

All About Me and My Unique Personality:
Sylvester is pretty unique in every way. He is not a cat, he is something otherworldly. Unless you know him, it is impossible to describe him. But here goes.
He has the confidence of a king, calmness of a 1960’s hippie, attitude of a rock star and the undevoted love a mother feels for her child. Nope, nowhere near good enough. His foster mum has known many, many cats but no one like this little guy. No one!
This boy will own you and you will love it. Your heart will explode with every little move he makes. He is a time waster. All you want to do is cuddle him, watch him sleep and nurture him.
He loves to play with his toys, goes wild for food, enjoys a good nap, but nothing is better than being by your side. He will always be near you, sleeping soundly at your feet. He will follow you around and will come to your call. He flops in your arms savouring your embrace and will soundly sleep in bed with you, feeling safe from the big bad world he used to be alone in. You will be lulled to sleep with his gentle purrs and his little paws resting on you. It is so precious. You will wonder how a creature like this exists.
He is well mannered and won't jump on table tops or kitchen benches. He will meow when he would like to chat and if you lay down with him he will head butt you and show you you are his everything. He radiates love and gratitude.

My Ideal Home:
Sylvester needs a home where he will be absolutely cherished, every single day, forever. He must be an only cat and it’s essential he be indoors only in a secure home where he cannot get outside. Ideally a single person, working from home who will give Sylvester his whole heart because he will give you his. There won’t be room for anyone else in your life and honestly, Sylvester will love you more than any human possibly can.
Indoor cats need lots of enrichment, so toys, a scratching post and secure doors and windows to look outside. He is adjusting very well to being indoors as he has company and things to play with.

What is Known About My Background:
Sylvester has spent his young life mostly alone in the world. He had a family who weren't able to provide the love he deserved so this little angel decided to find another home. He hit the jackpot by wandering into the home of a loving lady who gave a very hungry Sylvester food and a safe place to stay. He immediately felt at home. You could see the relief on his adorable face knowing he was finally safe and someone was going to at last protect him. As his new friend is allergic to cats she needed to find him a loving home and took it upon herself to have him microchipped, desexed and vaccinated.

Here is the thing…stay with us because it is not scary like it sounds….. While he was out in the world, fending off other cats while just trying to find safety, Sylvester contracted FIV- Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. In basic terms it means he has a weakened immune system. FIV is very, very common and should not at all put you off adopting. Keep reading.

What does this mean- well he needs to be indoors only so he doesn’t hurt himself or infect another cat. It is not transferable to humans or dogs. It does not require medication. He needs to eat cat food only, no raw meat and will need a visit to the vet annually for a check up. See, no biggie! And honestly, this is what all cats need anyway!

How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets:
As he needs to be indoors only it is not suitable for there to be young children who may leave a door or window open where he can get out. Older, very responsible children only. He lived with a little dog so could potentially be friends with a very gentle dog but he currently is a bit scared when he hears barking from next door.
No cats unless you have a gentle, friendly FIV cat.
