About Sylvia
Sylvia is a resilient and lovely senior cat, probably a bit over 10 years old. She came to the shelter in mid-July after a suspected hip fracture. After weeks of careful rest and multiple vet visits to assess her condition, it was decided that her leg didn't need amputation as her hip healed during her time at the shelter. Although she walks with a slight limp and some stiffness, it doesn't hold her back. Sylvia can still jump and maintain her balance with grace. Despite her challenges, she recently underwent dental surgery and has come through it all with her sweet, trusting nature intact. Now significantly healthier and slightly heavier, Sylvia is ready for a forever home with someone who appreciates the joy of a gentle, affectionate companion.
