Oliver Love

Eight years ago, on a cold November day,  this handsome, ginger boy stopped by our house and said hello.
I gave him a handful of treats, and then he disappeared as mysteriously as he came.
He returned the following spring, and despite my best effort to try and find his family he decided to call our humble abode, home.
We couldn't be more blessed.

Hi Janice: I seem to have all pictures show up in my end. Not sure what the problem is, but thank you for the "heads up".
Hugs,

Beautiful Oliver, who should we be without animals.

I had never heard this story about Oliver. He picked out his place and I bet he has never regretted it. I really like cats but our daughter-in-law is seriously allergic to them. When our last yellow kitty passed we just never consider another. I really love Oliver.

I'm so glad he is safe with you.

I don't think I've ever heard how Oliver came to be yours! I love it when cats adopt us. So sweet. He's a handsome fella. Reminds me so much of our Marmalade.

Our cat Snowy did the same thing -- a lost little kitty that chose us. We gave her a good home until her death last year. Joe and I are trying to get one or two of the outside cats to join us in the warmth of our home, but so far no luck. Oliver is one lucky cat to have found you. He's a handsome lad.

He''s a beauty for sure. Both you and he are lucky. He's found the perfect spot!

So glad he found you and such a lovely home.
My daughter had to have her old lovely cat put to sleep a couple of months ago & missed her more than she imagined. She has adopted two rescued kittens a brother & sister who are entertaining us all. One is ginger & white the other a tortoiseshell. Both gorgeous kitties! A house isn't a home without a cat!

He is so handsome!
We have a cat that came to us like that, just showed up, and said, "Here I am!" He has been with us 9 years now, and we love him dearly. He is a black and white 'Tuxedo' cat.
Have a blessed day!

All my cats came to me like that.
He chose you. It's very special I think.
What a noble looking little fellow he is.

They say that they pick you.....he knew where he wanted to be.
