Meet Ollie, an awesome orange tabby boy who can’t wait to make you his new best friend! Who doesn’t LOVE a giant orange tabby cat?!

Although Ollie would prefer to be an “only kitty” that doesn’t mean he wants to be alone. No, no, no — he wants to be with YOU! This easygoing guy loves head rubs, having his chin scratched, and perching on kitty trees. You’ll know he’s content when he squeezes his stunning green eyes closed while you lavish his ears with gentle attention.

Ollie also enjoys batting at feather wands — dangle one above his head and watch him roll belly up to go after his fluffy prize! If this sweetheart sounds like the cuddly companion you’ve been looking for, come introduce yourself to Ollie at Seattle Humane today.

Ollie had a spinal injury a long time ago so his tail had to be partially amputated at Seattle Humane. He doesn’t miss it though! He’s getting along just fine. In fact, he’s been pretty busy over the last few months. First he spent a few months in a loving foster home where he stretched his legs and maybe over ate a wee bit. Then he spent a while as an office cat here at the shelter. He’s now patiently waiting to meet his new family.
