My story

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

Hi there… I’m Oliver — a small cat with a big heart and an even bigger sense of curiosity. I used to wander the world on my own as a stray, exploring bushes, porches, and anything that crinkled or rustled. Life outside taught me to be brave, but it also made me realize how much I dream of having a place — and people — to finally call mine. I’m a friendly, playful, and endlessly curious guy. I love attention, cozy naps, and all the safe adventures an indoor home can offer. More than anything, I’m ready for a forever family — someone who will commit to me for life, give me proper enrichment, keep me healthy and safe, and love me as much as I’ll love them. In return, I promise purrs, companionship, and years of heart-warming moments. If you’re looking for a loyal little explorer to brighten your home, I’m right here waiting. I am FIV positive, but because of this, my adoption fee is totally up to you!
An IDEXX FIV/FeLV test was performed in shelter using whole blood, and a positive FIV test result was noted. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) compromises the immune system, so routine preventive healthcare is important. Cats with FIV commonly live normal life spans so long as they do not have other pre-existing conditions, and any medical concerns are promptly addressed with a veterinarian. The primary mode of transmission for FIV is through bite wounds. As a result, cats in households with stable social structures where housemates do not fight are at little risk of acquiring FIV infections. FIV it is a species-specific virus that infects only felines, with no evidence it can infect or cause disease in humans. Rarely false positive tests can occur, particularly if an animal has been vaccinated against FIV. It is recommended that you follow up with your primary care veterinarian to establish a preventive healthcare plan post adoption!
