Oliver

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Hello, my name is Oliver! I arrived at the sanctuary in July after my owner brought me in, pretending that I was a stray. The sanctuary team soon discovered that this wasn’t the case and that the lady was actually my owner. Unfortunately, due to difficult circumstances, I was sadly abandoned and the team were initially left with very little information about me, other than the details on my microchip.The sanctuary renamed me Oliver, which they think suits me so much better! Thankfully, my former owner later got back in touch and provided the team with more information about me, including my background and the sort of home I had been used to. I had been with my owner since I was a young kitten, so it was a big change for me.I settled in really well at the sanctuary and quickly showed everyone what a sweet and cuddly boy I am! I absolutely love being close to my humans and will happily cling onto you like a little monkey when I’m after cuddles. I’m a very loving boy who enjoys human company, although my carer thinks I can be a little sensitive at times and appreciate some comfort and reassurance too.I’m also a big fan of my food and treats! I’m an inquisitive boy and love watching what my humans are up to, as well as keeping an eye on everything happening outside. There’s always something interesting to see! I could live with sensible children aged 6+.I would be best suited to a home with no other cats for now. I have been mixed with a few cats here at the sanctuary and can get a little grumpy and jelous around them. I have given mixed signals as it seems like I may be okay at times but then have more grumpy moments and would much prefer all the attention to myself. Myabe in the future I would be okay to live with another cat but for now I want to be an only cat please. I have also met one of the friendly dogs at the sanctuary. While I was a little wary at first, I was very curious and not overly bothered by their presence. With sensible introductions, I could adapt well to sharing a home with a calm, cat-friendly dog.Once I have settled into my new home, I would love to have outdoor access again. To help me settle safely, I will need to be kept strictly indoors for at least 8 weeks while I build a bond with my new family and become familiar with my surroundings. During this time, care should be taken around doors leading directly outside, as I may be tempted to slip out before I'm ready.Alternatively a large catio or a securely cat-proofed garden would provide a safe alternative for me to enjoy the outdoorsIf you think you could offer me the loving home I'm looking for and meet my rehoming requirements, please complete an adoption form.Home and road/environmental checks apply. Diet..I am currently fed scrumbles adult wet and dry food. It is recommended that I stay on the current food I am on at least whilst I settle in my new home.

About Oliver

What life with Oliver looks like

Oliver is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Wythall Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Oliver, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Oliver?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Wythall Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Oliver on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Oliver if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Wythall Animal Sanctuary will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Oliver already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Oliver isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Wythall Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Oliver and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
