This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.Silvester is FIV+, severely anemic, and has severe dental disease. He came to us in rough shape and is underweight, but has been eating very well in care. He will eventually need a dental procedure with extractions when his anemia improves. Behaviorally, he leans into petting and is social, but resists/vocalizes during some medical handling (ie. blood draw).
Meet Silvester!Silvester was found as a friendly stray who would confidently walk up and greet people, even strangers, out on the street. Since arriving in our care he has continued to show a very docile, social personality and seems to truly enjoy human attention and companionship.
My Ideal HomeSilvester would do best in a patient home that can provide routine care, comfort, and support while he continues to feel better physically. A calm environment where he can receive affection, gentle handling, and ongoing medical follow-up - especially dental care - will help him thrive.
Silvester tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
Good with Kids?Unknown history. Based on his friendly and docile behavior with people, respectful older children who understand gentle handling may be a good fit.
Good with Other Pets?No known history living with other animals. Slow, proper introductions to resident pets are recommended. FIV-positive cats can live with other cats in the right home and management setup.
Overall HealthFIV positive. Mild dehydration on intake with dental and oral disease present. Arrived underweight with a rough haircoat and in need of grooming. Will likely require dental treatment and extractions after placement.
Behavior DeterminationAdopter comfortable with ongoing medical needs recommended. Silvester is very friendly and easy to handle but will benefit from a home prepared to manage his dental care and FIV status.
Other Fun FactsSilvester is known for approaching people confidently and greeting new friends right away. He has a gentle, docile demeanor and enjoys human interaction, making him a sweet companion who seeks out attention.
