Shiva will only appear in Blighttown if you are in the Forest Hunter Covenant. Attacking them automatically expels you from the covenant. You can keep Shivia as a merchant if you can spare him, have Oswald forgive your sins, rejoin the covenant, and return to Blighttown.

Really not worth the trouble. Just buy the few exclusive items he as and be done with it.
