Sylvester in Jamestown

This is Sylvester. He is a neutered, large, adult male cat currently living at the James River Humane Society.

From his Petfinder ad:
I need a home! Do you have a place where I can live? I want to go outside while you work and roam around but still come in and sleep with you at night..... I love to talk and talk and talk and talk....I keep telling the people here to give me some canned food - I can even show them where it is but I guess they aren't going to give me any. They say my neck is all healed up and I don't need the "extra" nutrition anymore....I keep telling them I DO!!!!!! Did you know that this really nice man came out and said he will help pay for my adoption? He said he will pay $10 toward my adoption fee if you want to take me home. Yea, thank you Mr. Lindgren!

A Chained Existence

A Chained Existence

If we tried to invent the cruelest punishment for dogs, we probably couldn't come up with anything worse than "solitary confinement" on a chain or in a kennel. Dogs are pack animals that crave companionship. Most people who chain dogs just don't realize that scratches behind the ears, games of Fetch and walks around the block mean to world to dogs. Time spent inside with their families and curling up at our feet while we watch TV is their idea of heaven. Many dogs left to fend for themselves at the end of a chain fall prey to attacks by other animals or cruel people, and many others are injured or hanged or choke as a result of getting entangled or caught in their tether.
