About Pickles

Pickles has seen her share of hard days, but she’s holding out for a lucky break. After being let go by two different owners, she’s kept her sweet, easygoing spirit. She doesn’t ask for much—just a home where she’s the only cat and won’t end up outside again. Pickles is well trained, friendly, and handles people with gentle charm, though she prefers her own feline company. Spayed, up to date on her vaccines, negative for FIV/FELV, and microchipped, Pickles is ready for a real commitment. She was born on October 20, 2021—so she’s a Libra, likely craving balance and security. She can be visited in her Staten Island foster home by appointment, or you might meet her at local adoption events. This time, she’s hoping three’s the charm. Give her a place where the door stays closed and the love stays constant. Home visit will be part of the adoption. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
