Exhausted, He Lay On The Riverbank, After Somehow Dragging Himself Through The Local Streets!

Caring for a paralyzed cat on your own is not easy!

From there he went to live with his new foster Mom, Jordan, who found the going tough caring for an incontinent cat on her own. Kritika explained caring for Sylvester was very a two-person job when taking into account changing his diaper and bathing him. She stepped up to the plate and took on the role of his caregiver along with her husband.

Having never taken care of a paralyzed cat before, Kritica readily admits she had no idea what she was getting herself into.

Thankfully, all the amazing volunteers and staff at For Animals Inc were there to provide her the support, advice, and the financial assistance needed.

“They were very encouraging and supportive in advising me on how to take care of a special needs cat,” says Kritika. “They also voluntarily agreed to raise funds for his treatment and agreed to take care of him when I am traveling.”

With help from the rescue the couple learned how to care for Sylvester. How to bath him and change him. Before long they had a routine and Sylvester for the most part didn’t put up much of a struggle.

It also didn’t take Sylvester long to settle in with his new foster parents, nor did he waste any time showing Kritika and her husband that he is an incredibly capable and fun-loving boy.

“Even with his injuries, Sylvester is one of the most active cats I have ever seen,” says Kritika. “He is very energetic and has a huge personality.”

Like a typical cat, Sylvester loves chasing after the laser pointer, watching bird videos, and playing with his toys, but this handsome special needs cat also likes sitting next to the heater — enjoying the warmth.

He also likes lurking near the kitchen door in hopes of getting a special treat.

Over the course of the last few months, Kritika and her husband have formed a strong bond with Sylvester, and the couple has learned a lot about the challenges of caring for a cat with special needs.

“Special needs cats, particularly those with paralysis, do come with additional responsibility,” says Kritika.

“These cats don’t have any one in the world except you and are so dependent on your love and care.

Not everyone is willing to make the sacrifices and allowances required to have a special needs cat, but for this who are, Kritika is confident they will receive something invaluable in return.

“The love these cats give you is unconditional,” says Krtika. “They reward you with love that surpasses what you may get from other cats.”

While Kritika and her husband will definitely miss Sylvester when he finally finds his forever home, she’s making the most of the time she has with him.

There’s no doubt that For Animals Inc. — who are currently sponsoring Sylvester’s physical therapy and acupuncture sessions — will find him an incredible family that is truly deserving of a cat who is as special as this stunning boy who traveled thousands of miles to New York City.

“Sylvester is much more loving and friendly than my other two cats,” says Kritika.

“I think it is because of his personality that he got himself from Nepal to the US.”
