Oliver Fletcher Foxworth (simply known as Oliver) is the titular main protagonist of Disney's 27th full-length animated feature film Oliver & Company.
He is an orphaned kitten who is first seen in a box with other kittens who need homes. He would eventually find himself with both a group of homeless dogs and a young rich girl named Jenny, and Oliver is conflicted on who to stay with.
He was voiced by Joey Lawrence.

- He stands up to Desoto when Desoto intimidates the gang.
- He is kind to everyone he meets, even those who dislike him or any of his loved ones such as Jenny.
- He forgives Fagin and after Fagin kidnaps Oliver and holds him for ransom.

Trivia[]
- While Oliver is Pure Good in the Disney Adaptation, his original novel incarnation is not Pure Good due to his actions being too bog-standard, causing him to also fail the in-universe standards to Nancy.
- Fittingly, the animated adaptation of Bill Sykes is Pure Evil while his novel counterpart is not, making them a mirror image of their heroes.
