About Sylvester

Sylvester is a gently timid boy looking for a loving home. He was adopted in 2020 but returned to Partners for Pets due to a change in his previous situation. Right now, he’s pretty scared and often hides in his cage, needing some time to adjust to new surroundings. When comfortable, Sylvester enjoys attention and has a particular fondness for catnip, being brushed, and savoring cat treats. He isn’t a fan of being held and doesn’t get along with dogs. A quiet environment would be ideal for him, especially with older children and adults. He loves to hide beneath his blanket, which brings him comfort. Currently, Sylvester is available for adoption at Partners for Pets in Spokane Valley. He has been vaccinated, spayed, dewormed, and microchipped. All adoptions include a free month of Trupanion pet insurance and a small bag of Science Diet cat food. Think you can provide the quiet and loving home he needs?
