About Kahlua

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Meet Kahlua, formerly known as Pickles, a delightful senior cat who's all about snuggles and affection. At 11 years old, this domestic short hair beauty absolutely thrives as the only cat in the household, as she feels timid and uneasy around other animals.

Kahlua is looking for a forever home that offers love and a peaceful, low-stress environment. Fun fact: Born on January 15, that makes her a Capricorn—known for being loyal and patient, which truly shines through in her gentle company. Ready to give Kahlua the quiet, loving home she deserves?
