Pickles

My story

Meet Pickles! This sweet girl was brought inside from a colony due to some eye issues, but once she was inside, it was clear she was too sweet and friendly to go back outside. She is very chatty, soft, and loves pets, it's like her head gets magnetized to your hand when it gets close. She's still not sure about sitting on laps, but I'm sure once she learns that that's where she'll get lots of attention, she'll warm up to it! Until then, she squeezes behind her foster to be between their back and the chair. Pickles also loves the kitty stroller in the foster room and spends most of her time napping in it. She has done well at a few of our events, so if you’re looking for a cat to take out for walks in a stroller, Pickles is your girl! Pickles would be happiest as the only cat in a household. She seems to be fine with dogs, assuming proper introductions are made. Her eye issue, eosinophilic keratitis, is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by a build up of eosinophils on the eye appearing as a white or pink chalky raised plaques. It can be caused by an allergic reaction or following a Feline Herpes Virus flare-up, which can be triggered by stress. Treatment response is often good but may require lifelong treatment intermittently, as recurrence is common. While Pickles doesn't enjoy getting eye drops, she tolerates getting wrapped up and medicated. Pickles is around 3 years old, dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and FIV/FELV negative.
