TERRIFIC TUX SYLVESTER NEEDS NEW FRIEND! A staff member writes, “Sylvester stirs up the same mellow feelings as a classical piece of music. He spends most of his day curled up in his kitty condo, snoozing. When I opened his door, he gave me a bashful look which I interpreted as permission for scratches. I was right, and as soon as I went in for love, he produced the most gentle, quiet purr I have ever heard, the kind of purr that would be appropriate for a round of meditation! If you are as mellow as this guy, and looking to clear your mind of all its troubles, come in to be Sylvester’s human.” Sad sigh. Seven-year old sweetheart Sylvester is yet another precious pet surrendered due to “personal issues” along with his sibling Gray (A1030444) back on 3/15. Let’s do everything we can to move this sweetheart (and his sister Gray) to safe haven tonight. Won’t you please be this terrific tux’s rescue angel? Save a life. Make a difference.
