Oliver - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Richmond, Virginia

Oliver is a 11⁄2-year-old sweetheart looking for a patient, cat-savvy home. This handsome tuxedo boy came to us as a stray after suffering a previous jaw injury that likely resulted from abuse. He needed 8 teeth removed, but despite his difficult past, Oliver has so much love to give.

Oliver's Favorites


Playing with toys — he has plenty of kitten-like energy!
Snuggling with his humans — once he feels comfortable, he loves affection.
Talking! — Oliver is a very chatty boy and isn't shy about sharing his thoughts.
Having a feline friend — he would likely enjoy another playful, cat-friendly kitty.


His Perfect Home

Because of his past, Oliver can sometimes be frightened by quick movements. He needs an adopter who understands that trust is the key and will give him the patience, consistency, and gentle care he deserves while he adjusts.

Oliver would do best in a cat-savvy adult-only home or a home with older, respectful children. A calm environment and someone who understands feline behavior will help this sweet boy feel safe and confident.
