Sylvester - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Sylvester is a handsome black-and-white tuxie with striking markings that wrap from the top of his head around his face and under his chin like a perfectly tailored little mask.

He's an incredibly sweet, social guy who happily greets visitors with leg rubs and affection. Sylvester is gentle and easygoing, even allowing respectful kids to pick him up and hold him comfortably.

Sylvester has tested positive for Feline Leukemia. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat. APA! provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Sylvester can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about Sylvester's care.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.

For further information or to meet Sylvester, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
