About Oliver

Meet Oliver, a charming 8.5-year-old brown and white tabby who’s ready to find his forever home. Oliver came to us as a surrender and has truly blossomed since his arrival. Although initially reserved, this sweet-faced boy will engage and seek affection once he feels comfortable. Oliver appreciates gentle scratches and being close, but he also values his independence. He has a unique way of asking for attention, yet doesn't hesitate to let you know when he's had enough. It's important to respect his space; this understanding adds to his appeal. He thrives in a cat-savvy home where people can read his body language. While Oliver prefers to be the only feline in the household, he could adapt to older, respectful children who understand how to interact with cats.
