Oliver

We have had an overwhelming feral cat problem in our neighborhood for years. Over the past 15 years, I’ve diligently trapped, neutered and found new homes for countless cats and kittens. None-the-less, every Fall and Spring like clockwork, new litters of kittens would appear, evidence that my efforts were having little effect. Oliver came from one of those litters about five years ago – one of a litter of four born to a feral cat hanging around our house. Sadly, one of Oliver’s littermates died, but the fourth one found his new family through our vet. Their calico mom took up residence on our front porch along with two other spayed females after we caught her and got her spayed and vaccinated. The cat population is slowly coming under control. Fortunately for Oliver and his brother Figaro, our son and his wife adopted them right before starting med school and a PhD program. As you can see in the photo, Oliver is one lucky and spoiled kitty, but he knows when he needs to burn the midnight oil to cram for exams.
