About Olive
Olive was surrendered when her elderly owner moved into care. She adores people of every age, lives with two cats in foster and treats them like slightly rude siblings. She'd happily spend the whole day on your lap.
The home she's hoping for
Just about anyone. Families, retirees, first-timers and allergy-conscious homes. She'll need a groom every six to eight weeks.
“Snores softly. Tells you when she needs to go out by sitting at the door and sighing.”
