His Mom writes:
"I adopted Ollie from the Madison (WI) Humane Society back in 1999, when he was 3 months old. He was found in barn, but that's all I knew about him. I had to nurse him back to health from a bad upper respiratory infection, which terrified me because I knew next to nothing about taking care of sick kitties! While a bit of a scaredy cat, Ollie has always been a cuddly with those he knows well.
Over time, his personality has blossomed, and whether it's age, loss of hearing, or just years of love, he is growing into a much more social kitty in his twilight years, even coming out when strangers are in the house.
In April, Ollie underwent radioactive iodine treatment for his
hyperthyroidism. We are all hopeful that his treatment will lead to many
more years together!"
