Cat of the week
Olivia is ready for her furrever home! She absolutely loves to be around people. She is a lap cat at heart and the majority of the time here she seeks attention. She does need some time to warm up to new people, but if you show her love, she will do the same. Olivia's beautiful coat is two colors; black on top and white underneath. Olivia is waiting here eagerly for someone to come find her and keep her forever!
