My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My first name was "Cat", my second name was "Baby", and my name now is Sylvia. I am about four years old. My foster mom tells me I am so “BUTIFUL” all the time! I love it when she cuddles me on her stomach or lap, looks into my eyes and tells me how wonderful I am. I could listen for a very long time. I love to lay on her, snuggle beside her, be held close while she is sitting, and just be right beside her. I would love to sleep on her bed, but she has other kitties that live here all the time, and they get first dibs on the bed. I’m so ready for my own home where I get to be the boss and the one who gets to sleep on the bed.
My foster mom is still learning about me because I can’t speak any language other than cat, and she doesn’t speak cat very well. Anyways, I was found outside, had never been spayed, and now I am an inside kitty who was recently spayed. (I did not appreciate the spay thing, but I know it was best for me.) My foster mom was told I might dart out the door, but she keeps me in the back part of the house, so I haven’t had a chance to try. I really love the inside, so I don’t know if I’m interested in that anymore. 
I am a very good girl, use my litter box perfectly, enjoy my dry food, wet food, and treats. I am learning to play more, but really enjoy naps, hanging with my human and keeping myself beautiful. I’m gentle, can sound like I’m getting mad at times, but it’s more just me talking. I like to love bite some, but I’m very gentle. It usually turns into a lick. If you are ready to give lots of love and time, please come visit me! My foster mom said that everyone will think I am beautiful too.
Oh! I’m not sure if I want to be with any other cats or dogs. I’m shy, and living on the streets has made me cautious of other four-legged furry things. If they don’t care about me, I might be okay. Please come soon. I can’t wait for hugs and love with my very own human!
