Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sylvie (aka Tripod or Bandit) was found in August 2016 in Midwood Brooklyn with a badly fractured humerus (right front leg) and life-threatening pyometra (infection of the uterus). A fully grown cat, she was emaciated at only 5 lbs and missing large patches of fur. She was as sweet as could be and wouldn’t have survived another week without veterinary attention.
This kitty’s luck changed when she was scooped up by an Anjellicle volunteer and immediately taken to one of Manhattan’s best orthopedic surgeons. Unfortunately, the fracture was old and splintered, and given the drastic pyometra infection, the doctor decided it best to amputate the leg at the shoulder.
Fast forward a few months and Sylvie has made a complete recovery! She’s missing a leg, but that doesn’t stop her from running around the apartment and playing with the other cats, and boy does she love other cats (she also adores our calm dog). Her fur has completely grown back in with a healthy shine and she has gained the weight of a normal cat. She greets her foster mom at the door every day when she returns from work, and overall just loves people and wants to be sitting on your lap or next to you at all times. Sylvie has a low-pitched meow, and uses it to communicate with you (but will not use it to wake you up in the morning). She uses the litter box perfectly, loves the scratching post and is getting used to having her nails trimmed. She is spayed, tested FIV/FELV negative, up to date on shots and microchipped. She is an absolute love and craves a home with other cats to call her own. Could it be yours? Svlvie was born around 8/8/15.
