About Olivia

Olivia is a striking brown tabby with long fur and soulful eyes, around 8 years old, who has been through quite a lot of upheaval. After losing her longtime owner, Olivia was shuffled between a few rescues before finally settling in at her current foster. She does have a heart murmur—though her initial tests were normal, a cardiology consult would help clarify her needs. She’s also weathered an upper respiratory infection and some stomach issues but is currently feeling much better. Though she’s shy at first, there’s a lot of quirky charm once she’s comfortable: she’ll curl up in boxes, chirp at birds from the window, and occasionally break into late-night zoomies. Olivia prefers a calm, low-activity environment and needs someone patient who lets her warm up at her own pace. She’s very clean with the litter box and gets along with other cats, but really shines in peaceful, stable settings. Medical care is thorough here: she’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on flea/heartworm prevention. Her adoption includes treats, contract paperwork, full vet records, and even transition food. Olivia deserves a quiet home where she can settle in and finally just be loved.
