Oliver Platt needs your help so he can find his forever home!
Oliver Platt says vet visits are fun! He got to play with a cotton ball, ate a Churu treat and got lots and lots of pets, he loves all the attention.
He doesn't understand that purring obscures the heart murmur that we are trying to hear. X-Rays are no fun, because he likes to wiggle and they want him to hold still.
Oliver’s former owner was perfectly responsible by taking him to be neutered. However, when his pre-op exam discovered that he had a grade 3 heart murmur, they felt they could not afford a cardiac workup and asked the vet about euthanasia or surrendering him.
Oliver's veterinarian reached out to us to see if we could take him in, so we agreed. Oliver is a very sweet boy. He has a normal appearing chest x-ray, and his BNP is low normal, which is very good, however, he does need an echocardiogram to determine the true extent of the murmur, and if he has any back flow.

Please consider donating to Oliver’s care, as his next stop is cardiology, which will be $1000-2000.
