Michelle says: Sylvester was going to be put to sleep at the local shelter because he was a bottle baby. Any kittens under one pound and not eating on their own are automatically put to sleep. Sometimes they call the rescues, but sadly they don't really have the employee bandwidth. So he just happened to be very lucky that a rescue was there that day volunteering. He was brought to my husband and me to care for.

What a spoiled and silly boy he turned into! He was a cuddler and super talkative. He loved to chase feathers, play with toys, sneak and pounce. His favorite "toy" was his foster sibling Debbie! He'd like to be held but then he would DART off to lay and wrestle with her. We nicknamed him Gonzo because he was totally nutso. But really cute. He was adopted with another kitten from another foster home.

Mr. Whiskers. What a cute little tux kitten. He must have know he was saved by the way you describe his personality. So glad he was adopted and you are a wonderfully kind person. I wish you the best in life.

I am with Judy Mack, how can these innocent babies be euthanized. He looks like a Gonzo and quite the character. Bless all those that go through the hard work of saving bottle babies:) It would have been a shame had this adorable little guy been lost. Glad he found a loving forever home.

Whoever did the photography of Gonzo did a fantastic job.

I cannot imagine having a one pound rule. I mean my blood was about to boil on that note. I cannot say enough in praise of the ANGELS who foster these wee ones with such selflessness. Sylvester is a treasure of a kitty with so much to give.
I would just love to know where he wound up. I do hope it was in a very loving home with toys and children to entertain. .
