Some of you know the story of Oliver Felix. For those of you that don't, he was a tiny little black and white kitten that passed away from Megaesophagus at only 4 months old despite extensive treatment. He was our baby and we were devastated by his loss. He was the kitten that started our rescuing full time. He passed away in October 2006 and since then I have wanted another little black and white kitten. Yes, we have black cats and black cats with a bit of white, and "tuxedo" cats... but we have never had another cat marked even a little bit like Oliver Felix, which is what I was looking for.
But I never stopped looking and knew the right one would find us when the time was right. This afternoon, I found an ad on Craigslist. He was only 5 minutes away, and I absolutely had to have him. He's what I've been searching for! And yes, I know you shouldn't adopt based on color but this was something that was so important to us.
He is about 12 weeks old. He is soooooo sweet. He was just neutered yesterday but that's not bothering him in the least.
