About Silas

Meet Silas, a young male cat seeking a fresh start after being surrendered. At just 9 months old, he has already been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and he tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Silas is a bit shy but has begun to accept gentle head pets. In his previous home, Silas lived with other cats, and he might appreciate a feline friend to help him adjust. He’ll need a little time to settle in, but with patience, he shows potential to warm up. You can meet Silas at our shelter during public hours: Tuesday to Friday from 1-6 PM and Saturday from 11 AM-3 PM. Come see if Silas is the companion you’ve been looking for!
