Here's a quick intro to Olive, pulled from the Hinsdale Humane Society website:

"Olive was transferred to HHS from an overcrowded downstate shelter along with her three little kittens. At that same time, we received a litter of five orphaned babies that were in desperate need of a mom. Olive’s own kittens were big enough to be weaned, so Olive was introduced to what soon became her new family. Olive and the babies were placed in a loving foster home and she became an excellent surrogate mom and her newly adopted kittens thrived. She was a well-behaved, polite houseguest, too. She is a very sweet and loving girl that especially enjoys having her chin scratched.  She has an independent side, too, and is also content by herself."

Olive would be best in a household with no other cats.
