This Long-Necked Cat Will Make You Wonder If She Is Part Giraffe Or Llama
PETA estimates that there are between 60 and 100 million homeless cats. Even though they don’t live with us, they indirectly depend on us.
They live in abandoned structures we’ve built, eat food we throw away, as well as small animals that live in human habitats. They also rely on us to save them from those streets.
Olivia is in desperate need of a home. And she'll be waiting for you at the Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control Friends.
Don't be surprised if she crans her extremely long neck to get a better look at you when you see her. Why?
Because Oliva is "half domestic short-haired cat, part...giraffe? Llama?" according to the shelter.
The Friends of Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control is a group of volunteers who help the Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control shelter by caring for animals and generating donations. These selfless volunteers go deep into their hearts and pockets to satisfy demands that county budgets cannot meet.
Olivia the cat is just one of the numerous animals who find love with the AACACC Friends. Among the volunteers, the white and grey tabby cat has acquired a lot of friends.
She's roughly 4 years old and arrived at the shelter as a stray, with no known history. Oliva is undoubtedly a looker, with her unusually long neck and large green eyes.
Let's get to know her better:

Hamilton the Hipster Cat was a stray kitten when he was born. The Humane Society of Silicon Valley, on the other hand, rescued him from the wild and prepared him with a forever family.
Though it was difficult to gain the trust of the mustachioed kitten, it was well worth the effort. Hamilton and his family work tirelessly to spread the word about adoption and rescue.
