Sylvia Domestic Short Hair & Abyssinian Mix Ottawa, ON

Sylvia is a very sweet-natured and affectionate cat. She seems almost like a kitten herself she’s so light on her feet, graceful and playful. She needs a quiet cat-loving home with someone prepared to spend time and attention with her to help continue her socialization. Although she will come and snuggle in bed, lie in our laps and loves pets she can get startled easily by unknown people or noises. She has the loveliest personality and is very sweet with other cats especially with boy cats she’s a huge flirt! She would be sad to be on her own but might be a bit dominant with other females. Sylvia needs a home with another friendly male cat or two who want a companion.

Born November 9th, 2022, Sylvia was a little slip of a thing, terrified and almost a ghost who tried to come and eat at her caretaker's feeder when the big cats were not around. Against the odds she survived and became a very young mum. Once she had babies to feed she would appear crying for food and finally her feeder was able to trap her and her youngest kitten. Amazingly she responded to affection very early on and although when her fosters walk in a room she still looks at them with eyes like saucers, she melts to a gentle touch and simply is phenomenally affectionate with them. Her caretakers are so proud of her and how far she has come. However, she will likely be nervous in a new home and will take some time and patience to adjust.
