Domestic Longhair (crossed), 1 year and 10 months, Male

Hi, I'm Olly - a handsome, independent guy with a gentle heart and a strong sense of personal space. I'm looking for a calm, understanding home where I can settle in at my own pace and build a trusting bond with my new humans.

When I first arrive, I'll need a quiet "safe room" just for me. It helps me feel secure while I get used to new smells, sounds, and routines. Once I'm confidently using my litter tray, exploring the room, and coming to you for food, play, and attention, we can slowly start to explore the rest of the house together. No rush - I like to take things one paw at a time.

I'd do best in an adult or teen household where life is pretty predictable. I'm not really made for the hustle and bustle of young kids, though the team here might consider it in special cases. What really matters to me is having choice and control over when and how we interact. I'm affectionate when I feel safe and in the mood - in fact, I often choose to curl up and sleep on the bed with the people I trust at night. But I appreciate it when my boundaries are respected.

My ideal home is peaceful and relaxed, with a calm routine I can count on. I'll need a few cozy hiding spots around the house - a semi-covered bed, a cat tree, even a soft carrier will do the trick. These little retreats help me feel safe and grounded.

One of my favorite parts of the day is structured playtime. I love interactive toys like wand teasers, especially when play ends with a tasty snack in an enrichment feeder - it taps into my natural hunting instincts and leaves me feeling satisfied and relaxed. Just one small request: please don't use your hands or feet as toys. I'm a fan of the classics, not mixed signals.

So that's me - a thoughtful, sometimes shy, but deeply loyal cat who just needs the right home to thrive. If you're someone who appreciates a cat with a quiet charm and a strong sense of self, I think we could be something special.

- Olly
