About Oliver

Oliver is a 1.5-year-old tuxedo cat with a heart full of love, looking for a patient, cat-savvy home. He came to us as a stray and has endured a tough past, including a jaw injury that led to the removal of eight teeth. Despite these challenges, he's ready to share his affection with the right adopter. Oliver is playful and enjoys interacting with toys, bringing with him plenty of energy akin to that of a kitten. He loves to snuggle with his humans, and once he feels safe, he's not shy about being affectionate. Oliver is also quite chatty, eagerly voicing his opinions. He would thrive in a home with another friendly cat who can keep up with his playful spirit. To help him feel secure, Oliver needs understanding and patience, especially given his past experiences. He would do best in an adult-only home or with older, respectful children. A calm environment and a person who appreciates feline behavior will allow him to blossom into a confident companion.
