About Olive

Olive is a stunning 2-year-old girl on the lookout for a forever home. She arrived at the shelter as a stray, and now she’s ready to find that special place to call her own. Olive is unique; she has FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). This virus is species-specific and cannot be transmitted to humans or other animals. FIV primarily spreads among cats through deep bite wounds, typically during fights. Thankfully, cats with FIV can lead long, healthy lives. Olive will need to be an inside-only cat and thrive on a nutritionally complete diet. Regular vet visits and prompt attention to any medical issues are essential for her well-being. Weighing in at just 5 pounds, Olive is already spayed and up to date on her vaccinations, allowing her to go home with you the same day! This affectionate and playful girl can't wait to make new memories with you in Sanford, FL.
