SHELTON — Being dumped in the woods and getting shot several times with a BB gun has not taken the kitty out of a sweet cat named Sylvester.
Cindy Barbian has been feeding Sylvester for eight months, since she saw him hanging out in the woods near her home at the end of Weybosset Street.
Now, he has a purr-fectly loving home.
Barbian has two pet cats, DJ and Jarrett, as well as a tiny stray she calls Angel that she has been feeding outside since 1996.
She said she just can’t understand how anyone could shoot a defenseless animal.
