My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Oliver is a sweet, gentle, kind, distinguished, even-keeled old soul who enjoys the simple things in life: a can of wet food, head scratches, a heated blanket, a Churu meat tube (or two or three) and your company. At this point in his life, comfort is his priority. He’s not the playful, go getter, up to no good type of cat - he’s much too old and wise for young shenanigans. Instead, he prefers to be snuggled up, taking the world’s longest cat nap, while you reside nearby. He’s a big guy and will take up most of the room on the bed, if you let him (and he really hopes you do). There is no curling up all cute or loafing about for Oliver; instead he sprawls and stretches out as much as possible. When he’s up and at ‘em, he will follow you around and be right beside you, but doesn’t feel the need to sit on your lap or be held. He may politely chit chat about his feelings in a soft, raspy, squeaky way. Oliver is very affectionate and curious and purrs as soon as you approach him, but is also very content all by himself.
He has a Mr. Rogers energy about him, with his gentle, kind eyes, will be friends with anyone and everyone, and is very patient and non-confrontational. He would fit in well to almost any household, whether that be with cats, dogs, or considerate children. With his age, he may ask for little extra patience in return to make the best of his golden years.
P.S. Though Oliver won’t keep you up at night getting into things he’s not supposed to, zooming around, or begging for food, he does snore sometimes. It’s incredibly cute and only a tad obnoxious. You’ve been warned!

More about this shelter
We are a small shelter that rescues pets from local impounds whose time is up, and would otherwise be euthanized. We only have 9 dog kennels and 26 cat kennels; as many of 80% of the animals in our care are located in foster homes throughout the community at any time. We are very limited on space within our shelter and often, we can't take in owner surrenders, but will do our best to help give guidance about rehoming pets.
We offer several services besides adoption, including microchip clinics and pet-friendly rental housing listings.
We are the only shelter in the FM area that rescues both cats and dogs, so without our help, hundreds of dogs and cats would be euthanized each year in local pounds.
