Susan J. Eischeid | Submitted PhotoSweet Sylvester has been looking for a home for a long time and doesn't understand why he is passed over again and again. Although not a 'flashy' cat, Sylvester is the complete package: calm, loving, sociable, playful, old enough to behave and young enough to make you laugh every day with his antics. Sylvester has a glossy black and white coat and a vibrant pink nose. He is about 1 year old and already neutered, so can go home today. Can you make Sylvester's holiday wishes come true and become the family he deserves?
