My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ollie is absolutely adorable!

He is very lively and has a lot of energy.

He loves to play, particularly with wand toys. He also enjoys being held and sitting on my lap while I work.

He is not shy at all and instantly let his fosterer hold him.

He is not a cat that is going to hide from anyone.

He is also non-confrontational with other cats. The 7 resident cats in his foster home seem to have accepted him after two weeks.

Ollie has a condition called cerebellar hyperplasia, otherwise known as wobbly cat syndrome. This just means that his motor skills are a little off, so he wobbles a bit when he walks. It will never improve but it will also never get worse.

That said, it does not stop him from doing everything he wants except maybe jumping.

So, he will never be able to jump on the couch, bed or counter.

He will, however, easily be able to jump down from a bed or couch.

He moves around like any other cat and can also be very fast!

He can even climb up and down stairs but I wouldn’t recommend a house with large staircases that are hardwood. Small staircases (up to 6 stairs) should be fine and any stairs that have rugs or carpet should also be fine.

With walking, he does best on rugs or carpet but can still get around okay without them. He is a very determined little guy.

He loves to eat anything you give him, and has perfect litter box habits.

Ollie is a wonderful cat and any adopter would absolutely be lucky to have him!
