oliver is in desperate need of a home. he's an extremely loving and sweet cat. he has a virus called feline leukemia that could one day affect his immune system. at the moment, he's just fine, other than a chronic upper respiratory infection. (that means, he gets sneezy sometimes).

feline leukemia can be spread from cat to cat by saliva, so oliver should be the only kitty in his new home. he can live with other cats who are positive with the virus though. the virus cannot be spread to dogs, small animals or humans. speaking of canines...oliver loves dogs! almost as much as he loves people.

oliver has been neutered, microchipped, de-flead, de-wormed, and he's up to date on his shots, including rabies.

if you can't adopt oliver yourself, maybe you know someone who doesn't have any cats at home who is looking for a wonderful, super-friendly cat to call their own. or maybe you know someone who already has a FeLV cat who needs a companion. oliver really is a wonderful cat and he desperately wants a home where he can be loved and give love...

if you want to learn more about feline leukemia, check out these websites:

this link is an informative site all about FeLV, written by the folks at Cornell University, College of Veterinary Medicine: http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/felv.html

and this one is a feline leukemia support and information site:

oliver is in a foster home in hamilton, ontario at the moment. if you are interested in adopting him, please contact me directly at lisa @ lisawinn.com

here's a little video of oliver so you can see how friendly he really is!

   About Lisa Winn

for the 'official' bio, go to lisawinn.com

i figure this is 'myspace.' so here's 'mystory' in my own words:

i'm a singer and a songwriter. i enjoy both immensely, though as of late i haven't done much writing. i know now that the creative well hasn't completely run dry, as i actually started and finished a song recently. good thing!

i love singing with other people. i'm pretty good at harmonies, so people hire me to sing on their records and at live shows. to me, there's something special about sharing a persons music with them. sharing their voice, so to speak. over these past few years i've started to enjoy this more than playing my own solo shows.

a few people on myspace that i've had the pleasure of singing with:

jacob moon
shannon lyon
rob lamothe
adrienne peirce
melissa mcclelland
janine stoll
erin smith
marnie mains
ali bartlett
julie fader
michelle titian
mike daley
jakalope
les cooper
mike trebilcock
lindy
mr something something
fred magie
scott orr
drifter
lori yates
emma-lee
johnny hollow
albert bouchard
tomi swick
kim koren
mary simon

some people not on myspace that i've had the pleasure of singing with:

jamie oakes
ray materick
gordon lightfoot (i sang harmonies on one song on 'a painter passing through')

some people, not listed above, who are some of my music favourites. i would love to have the pleasure of singing with any (or all!) of these folks:

holly mcnarland
deb talan
meg hutchinson
kd lang
jann arden
patty griffin
jane siberry
sarah slean
martin sexton
bruce cockburn
feist

one of my favourite things is being a part of the ladybird sideshow. i get my harmony fix with them, and they're the sweetest, funniest, most talented group of ladies you'll ever meet. they're all hot too.

i've done some touring in my day. i love it. i've been to holland and germany a few times. went to japan with jakalope. toured across canada a bunch. that's always a good time. the ladybird sideshow did a show in cuba, and a couple shows in maui. trippy huh? one day i'd like to tour in australia. (any aussie myspacers wanna help me out with that?)

i'm a vegetarian. i don't use or wear anything derived from, or tested on animals.

i like to take pictures. i'm no pro but i enjoy photography quite a lot. here's some photos i took

i have many pets. almost all were adopted from shelters. if you're considering sharing your life with an animal, please adopt from a shelter or rescue. your new friend will be forever thankful.

Hi Lisa,
What a beautiful myspace home you have here. I really love your song Brown Haired Angel- superb!

Lisa sung on two of my songs at Grant Avenue Studio in Hamilton back in 2003 (Highschool and The Strain) in which her vocals just bring out the chorus and bridges so beautifully! A real talent!
Thanx for the friendship. Drop by and say hi when you get a chance.
