Sydney is a gorgeous long-haired dilute calico with the softest fur, the sweetest face, and a personality to match. Around 2–2.5 years old, she is equal parts silly, playful, and full of love—the kind of cat who happily greets everyone she meets and quickly becomes unforgettable.
Sydney knows what it’s like to be loved. She was previously adopted and thrived in her home, adored her human, and even enjoyed the company of her feline sibling. Sadly, when her owner began packing for a move, the sudden change was overwhelming for Sydney. She started peeing outside the litter box and was returned to the shelter soon after. Understandably, her little heart was broken 💔.
Because Sydney matters, the shelter team left no stone unturned. She received a full veterinary workup, including medication trials, food trials, multiple urinalyses, and an ultrasound. While she has had some intermittent blood in her urine, all tests have shown her to be otherwise completely healthy, and veterinarians believe her condition is idiopathic—often linked to stress.
The good news? Once back in a stable environment, Sydney bounced right back. She has been using the litter box 100% of the time at the shelter, just as she did during the first several months in her previous home. Her sweet, outgoing personality shines through every single day.
Sydney is looking for a calm, stable forever home—one where life is predictable and changes are minimal. She would do best with an understanding family who can support her if she ever has a flare-up and help her get back on track. While she doesn’t need to be an only pet, a low-key home with one friendly, playful cat who enjoys snuggling could be a wonderful match.
Confident, affectionate, playful, and endlessly lovable—everyone at the shelter knows Sydney, because she makes sure of it. All she needs now is someone willing to love her as deeply as she loves in return.
💗 Sydney isn’t broken—she’s just sensitive and incredibly special. Could you be her forever?
