Please join us as we honor Sylvester's memory. From Sylvester's family:
"Sylvester (also known as Syl, Sylvester J. Mittens, Cat Norris, and Buddy) passed away at 4:55 pm 2/4/25 surrounded by his loved ones. He was preceded in death by his roommate, Sailor. He leaves a loving mommy and daddy, my Child who found & loved him, caring friends, and his roommate, Rainbow."
Sylvester came to us from under a car in Northern Virginia 14 years ago. The brave kitten he was, he walked up to the Child and immediately demanded pets. When we went to leave, he followed us leading the Child to scream “Daddy, he needs a forever home”. Thus, began life with our loving black cat."
Sylvester participated in hobbies like sleeping, enjoying the sun, eating, receiving pets and treats, chasing lasers, running outside to eat grass, and sometimes harassing his roommates. He was also a lifetime member of the vomiting hairball club."
He was well-liked by everyone who met him. Even his veterinarians and their techs loved him and would take turns holding and petting him. He was such a good cat, that he convinced a woman who when we first got married did not even want cats into becoming his mommy. She hand-fed him Delectables, bought him furniture and treats, let him sleep by her side, and would say how much she missed him when we went on trips. He was her constant companion."
To the very end, he comforted his family as his cancer worsened. Sylvester was the bestest cat who provided a lot of love to his family. He will be greatly missed but reminders of him will continue for years wherever cat hair can be found.
