Meet The Newest Addition to Our Family - Oliver

United States
April 26, 2025 3:33pm CST
This is the excitement I was hoping for today. Hubby and I have been watching a no-kill animal shelter site and this cute baby showed up a few days ago. His name is Oliver. He's 7 years old. He's front de-clawed. He weighs 17 pounds. He's been at our hour for about 3 hours now and he's settling in just fine. He hasn't been a bit skittish. He's jumped up on the beds and he's played with the furry mice and he lets us pet him and brush him and rub his belly. I had a hole in my heart from where Cricket died a year ago. Oliver is filling that hole now.

@looeyville Pleased for the 3 of you. Does this mean I have to acquiesce to my wife’s desire to replace the cat that we lost a year ago?

My youngest foster girl child wants to have a cat as a pet. I hope I can find a baby cat.

That is exciting! You did a good thing. He's really cute and you might have him for a good long time if you are lucky! He's a big boy .bigger than Nico who is no lightweight.

What a lovely looking cat he is. He is a big boy, isn't he? It sounds like he has already decided that you and your hubby belong to him. Pet him, brush him, rub his belly, awesome.
