My story

Olive (about 6 months old as of 3/13/2025) is a spayed female grey shorthaired kitten. She and her brother Freddy were trapped as part of a feral colony TNR project at about 2 months old, a bit later than ideal for taming but with winter temperatures moving in and them still being so little their foster took them in to work with them. Given that opportunity, they have made great progress, and while still a bit shy with strangers they are happy living as housecats and are affectionate and playful with people they trust. Olive is curious, loves to explore, and is an expert hunter whether it's toys or her brother! Since they've only known life together and love each other so much we'd like to see them adopted as a pair, either alone or as annoying little brother and sister to existing kitties. They have great enthusiasm for the adult cats in their foster home, though those adult cats aren't sure yet if they require kitten assistance! They've never lived with dogs and being shy they wouldn't be great candidates to be placed with any but the calmest of dogs, and because they need time and space to build up trust they'd do better with older, more mature children that can be patient as they get comfortable.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Olive, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
