Olive's story
Olive lived as a much-loved only cat until her owner moved abroad. She arrived at the shelter polite but bewildered, and spent her first days watching everything from the top of the wardrobe.
Once she decides you are hers, she headbutts, kneads and supervises your reading from very close range. She is low-drama, tidy and quiet — a perfect companion for a working household that wants company without chaos.
Good to know
- Litter-perfect and tidy
- Quiet at night, no dawn chorus
- Sunbeam professional
- Accepts brushing, hates belly rubs
Daily care at a glance
- Indoor or safe-garden home away from busy roads
- Scratch post, sill perch and one daily play
- Adult food — roughly £22 a month
- Annual boosters and weight checks
Ideal home
Best in an adult or older-teen home. Prefers to be the only pet so she can have every sunbeam.
Three steps to adopt
- 1. Meet-and-greet. Come and spend time with Olive at the shelter — bring everyone who lives with you.
- 2. Home check. A short visit or video call to confirm space, setup and routine suit a Cat · Tabby.
- 3. Homecoming. Sign, pay the fee, and take Olive home with food, records and a month of message support.
