SYLVESTER – 17688
Safe - 1-18-2018 Staten Island
SAFE 1/18/18 One Of the Sweetest Long Haired I have met! Sylvester! *Requires Rabies Quarantine* Sylvester was found in a park with his housemate. We believe he was abandoned by his owner then brought to us because the people were concerned about freezing temperatures. Unfortunately, it appears that Sylvester has a bite of unknown origin and will require a rabies quarantine. As soon as I met this boy, he was purring and loves everyone!
