Sylus

Domestic Shorthair

Male, 7 yrs 3 mos
Pittsford, VT
Size

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Sylus, a handsome 7-year-old gentleman who knows what he likes and isn’t afraid to let you know! This sweet boy would love to find a home where he can be your one-and-only feline companion. Sylus does not enjoy living with other cats, but he does well with dogs! He’d likely be happiest in a home without young children, or with older, cat-savvy kids who understand that cats sometimes need a little space. Sylus can become overstimulated with too much handling or activity, so having people who can read his cues and respect his boundaries will help him feel comfortable and confident. Give Sylus a home where he can relax, settle in, and be himself, and he’ll be ready to show you just how special he is. If you’re looking for a mature companion who knows his own mind and can be your one-and-only cat, Sylus may be your guy!

Story
Morgan is a beautiful 13-year-old Siamese girl who is looking for a quiet, loving home where she can feel safe and truly be herself. She’s a sweet girl with a sensitive side, and she prefers to be admired on her own terms rather than picked up or handled. Morgan would do best with someone who understands that trust takes time and who will let her set the pace. An adult-only home is preferred, as Morgan may be happiest in a calm environment without young children. She could also do well with cat-savvy older kids who know how to give a kitty space and respect her boundaries. Once Morgan feels comfortable, she has so much personality to share! She’s looking for a special person who will be patient, gentle, and willing to earn her trust. In return, Morgan can be a wonderful companion and a truly rewarding friend.

Story
Benny is a handsome 5-year-old Domestic Shorthair who truly enjoys people and actively seeks out attention. He wants to be near the family, join in on what’s happening, and receive affection—but he doesn’t want to be the center of attention. Benny is happiest when he can be involved on his own terms, staying close by and interacting with you without being placed in the spotlight or expected to sit in your lap. Benny can be affectionate and seek out attention, but he becomes overstimulated easily and does not enjoy being picked up, cuddled, or handled. He’s a cat who will happily hang out nearby, interact with you, and let you know when he’s interested in some attention—but he also needs someone who can recognize when he’s had enough and give him space. Because of this, Benny would do best in a quiet home without cats or children. He’s looking for someone who understands that respecting his boundaries doesn’t mean leaving him alone—it means allowing him to participate in family life in the way that feels comfortable to him. Benny has had a previous adoption that ultimately wasn’t the right fit, but we think the right match is out there. Give him a chance to settle in, learn his signals, and build trust, and you’ll have a companion who genuinely wants to be part of your world. He may not be a lap cat, but he definitely wants a place in the family! If you’re looking for a cat who wants to be where the people are, keep tabs on what everyone is doing, and receive attention on his own terms, Benny might be your guy.
