About Oliver

Oliver is a sweet senior gentleman who recently left his life as a stray behind. His rescuer wanted to keep him but ultimately brought him to Tenth Life Cat Rescue for assistance. Oliver is currently facing some challenges. He has diabetes, and the team is working with vets to ensure he receives the proper diet and medication. Tenth Life will cover all of his medical expenses, which is great news for anyone looking to foster him. Additionally, Oliver has tested positive for FIV. This condition allows him to live with non-FIV cats, provided there are no biting fights. He needs a loving foster home where he can thrive while adjusting to his new routine and receiving his diabetes medication. Oliver enjoys playing, being petted, and loves to sit on laps, bringing joy to any household. If you're interested in fostering this charming cat, learn more about the program with Tenth Life.
