About Oliver

Oliver is a charming orange-and-white gentleman with a bit of extra fluff. He’s searching for a loving family who will embrace him just as he is, while also supporting him on his journey to a healthier lifestyle. With some extra weight to shed, Oliver's new family will need to focus on his health and fitness. This means feeding him measured portions, engaging him with interactive toys, and encouraging gradual activity. His transformation won’t happen overnight, and that’s perfectly fine. Oliver needs someone patient—no kitty burpees on the first day. It’s all about consistency and understanding that the road to health is a marathon, not a sprint. If you’re ready to provide a nurturing home for this sweet, oversized boy and help him become a healthier version of himself, Oliver would love to meet you!
