Cat of the Week: Oliver

Each week in this space, we feature an older adult or senior cat (7 years +) in need of adoption or sponsorship. Mature cats make great companions, and unlike kittens, they (probably) won’t climb the curtains! Adopt an older cat, and help them enjoy the best years of their life.

Today we’re featuring a cat we have featured before. Oliver is an 8-year-old gentleman who is so sweet and laid-back and loves getting attention. He also enjoys cat beds, watching birds, and playing with catnip. He thinks food is pretty awesome too!

Oliver is a diabetic kitty who needs to get insulin shots twice a day. Some people are reluctant to adopt a cat with diabetes, so he needs someone really special to give him a new forever home. Maybe some people are just afraid of having to give a cat shots, but it is so easy to learn and do. Even old SoLT has done it, on her mom’s old cat (who, by the way, lived many happy years while on insulin). Oliver is really good about getting his shots too.

Oliver is currently in a foster home and is adoptable through the Baltimore Humane Society. He first came into the shelter way back in December 2015 (that’s been years, people!). Wouldn’t it be great to see him settled into a new forever home?

A generous donor has sponsored Oliver’s adoption fee.
