About Oliver
Oliver is a special needs cat who does best with someone who has a bit of experience, but his required care becomes second nature quickly. He was born with partial paralysis in his back legs and needs his bladder expressed a few times a day, a routine that sounds intimidating but really isn't once you get the hang of it. Oliver cannot walk on his back legs, though he moves them a little, and his bladder needs help several times a day—each time takes less than a minute. Personality-wise, Oliver is a sweet, playful cat who enjoys meeting everyone. He mixes well with other cats and, as long as dogs respect his space, can live around them, too. He is especially energetic and likes interactive time with toys or people. Traveling is no issue for Oliver—he actually enjoys car rides and loves looking out windows. For the right adopter in Wichita ready to manage his care, Oliver is a rewarding companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
