ABOUT ME: Hi, my name is Sylvie. I am a gentle but nervous soul, who needs time to feel safe. I can find meeting new people and unfamiliar situations a little overwhelming, so I need someone who will be patient with me and let me learn to trust at my own pace. Once I know I’m safe with you, my true personality starts to shine. I enjoy cuddles, being close to my favourite person, and I’ll happily follow you around just to keep you company. If you’re willing to give me the time I need, I promise I’ll repay you with lots of love and loyalty
