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.

Find the pet for you at the Adoption Center:
Angels of Assisi’s adoption center is open from 12-6pm, 7 days a week. Adoption Specialists and Volunteer Ambassadors are eager to help you find the pet that would fit best in your family.
Adoptable Pets in Foster Homes:
Some of our available pets are currently in foster homes. If an animal is currently in a foster home, it is noted in the animal's biography online. To meet a pet in foster care, please fill out a non-binding adoption application, and the foster parent will contact you to schedule a meet and greet once the application has been approved (generally within 24 hours).
Found the perfect addition to your family? Now what?
The next step is to fill out an adoption application. You can complete and application online (preferred) or stop by the adoption center to fill out a paper application. Adopters must be 18 years of age or older. If you rent your home, we will need to contact your landlord or see a copy of your lease to verify the pet policy. Most applications can be approved within 24-48 hours.
Taking Your New Pet Home
After paying the adoption fee and pending the approval of your application, you may take your new pet home immediately. Adoption fees may vary and can be found on our website at:
