In the shelter’s words

Hi I'm Pika (like Pikachu)! I'm a lovely girl with the perfect balance of playful energy and maturity. I love playing with wand toys, toy mice, cat springs and my sister Cheeto. Sometimes I love to tell my people whenever I've 'caught' a toy mouse by walking around the house with it in my mouth and meowing until you compliment me on my nice work. I like being picked up and held for short periods, even by the little people in my foster home. I happily coexist with the resident senior dog but I have been known to engage in play with more energetic pups. When I got to my new foster home I was a bit shut down as I get scared in new situations. But once I have time to settle in I will make myself right at home. I love exploring, looking out windows and watching the wild life at my foster home. I love to give affection, especially when you are relaxing on the couch or at your computer, but I'm not pushy. I will even make you some biscuits if I'm in the mood. I can't wait to meet you! Pika is from an owner surrender with her sister Cheeto , and they must be adopted together. Pika is from an owner surrender with companion. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
