This is my new cat, Olivia (Liv).
She is a very special girl.
Some friends of ours (Ellie and Patti) found her wandering around their back yard about 3 weeks ago. Ellie is very allergic, so they knew they couldn't let her inside/keep her. But they decided that they would take care of her until they could find her a home. So they got her a little house and named her Buoy.
About a week after she showed up, she suddenly was nowhere to be found. She came back about 3 days later, except this time she was spayed. They've come to the conclusion that the "cat lady" in their town caught her and had her spayed, then released her. There is another cat who wanders around who looks a lot like her, and Ellie and Patti have come to the conclusion that he/she is a sibling, but that cat is VERY unfriendly and definitely not looking to be made anyone's pet.
Ellie posted about Buoy on facebook, and said that they were looking for a home for her. So today we went to their house to meet her. She is the SWEETEST cat I have EVER met in my life. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her.
They're pretty sure she was dumped, because of her affection for humans and playfulness. All I know is, whoever is responsible for the emaciated state she was in when she showed up should be ashamed of themselves, because she is definitely a little treasure.
We're going on vacation this coming week, so Ellie and Patti are going to keep her until next Saturday, when we will pick her up and bring her home.
So, please meet Olivia Buoy.
