Hire Pickles! Waived adoption fee!
2-year-old Pickles is a handsome tabby with huge bug eyes, gorgeous swirl-striped markings, and the cutest pink nose you've ever seen. He was trapped on the streets of Baltimore after spending much of his life figuring out how to survive on his own.
While Pickles has his moments of friendliness and can be quite chatty once he's comfortable, he's a quirky, independent guy who prefers relationships on his own terms. He can be a little unpredictable and socially awkward, which is why we believe he'd thrive in a working cat home rather than a traditional household.
Pickles is looking for a safe place where he can enjoy shelter, regular meals, and the freedom to be himself while helping keep rodents away. Ideal placements include:
Barns, sheds, or farms
Stables and equestrian centers
Warehouses, factories, or garages
Body shops or car dealerships
Greenhouses and nurseries
Vineyards, wineries, or distilleries
Salvage or scrap yards
One thing Pickles does enjoy? Other cats! He's great with feline friends and would likely appreciate having other working cats around. He enjoys playing, observing the world around him, and keeping a close eye on everything with his signature wide-eyed stare.
If you have a suitable property and are looking for a natural pest control specialist with plenty of personality, Pickles may be the perfect employee for the job.
