About Oliver

Oliver is an adult male Domestic Short Hair who found his way to rescue thanks to a compassionate individual concerned about his treatment. He’s a big, friendly cat who has adjusted well to life in foster care. Oliver loves to eat, enjoys catnip on his scratching post, and prefers a home with older children, specifically those over 7 years old. He thrives on companionship and will happily curl up with you at night. While he can play a bit rough, he quickly understands boundaries, responding well to commands like "no." He has a playful side but also enjoys his quiet moments. Oliver may dig in plants, so it's best to keep them out of his reach. He can coexist with other cats, needing just a week or two to acclimate, and he’s not a bully despite his larger size. Meet and greets take place in potential adopters’ homes to ensure Oliver connects well with the entire family. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and house trained. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
