Gherkin's Story

Gherkin is a spunky lad who loooves play time! His absolute favorite toys all come with strings, and nothing makes him happier than the chance to show off his truly impressive jumping skills! The way to win the heart of this sweet buddy (and reach the purr factory!) is with some good ol' head and butt scritches. Cuddles are in healthy supply first thing in the morning, and again when you get home from work. During the day, you can typically find him curled up with his brother, Dill. The two are good buds, and are also available to be adopted as a duo! Gherkin is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccines, negative for FIV/FeLV, and microchipped. He absolutely loves other cats, so he'd be the perfect addition to your already feline-friendly home! Gherkin was rescued in June, and as of November, we've had zero interest in this sweet boy. Please consider an otherwise overlooked kitty on your search for your new bff!

Backyard Cats of Bed-Stuy's Adoption Policy

I ask that everyone interested in adopting a cat from me starts the application process by filling out my adoption application! The more details you can provide, the better. You can find the app here: https://www.backyardcatsofbedstuy.com/adoption-application Once I've received your application, if I'm interested in moving forward I'll reach out to schedule a Zoom call (or sometimes an in-person meeting, where possible). I often have the foster join as well to talk more specifically about each cat's personality and needs. If the meet-and-greet goes well, and if requested, the potential adopter can arrange a time to meet the cat(s) at their foster homes, or they can start out with a trial "foster-to-adopt" period of one month, to make sure it is a good fit for both cats and humans. A cat isn't considered "fully adopted" until they have been through proper vetting (spayed or neutered, given rabies and FVRCP vaccines, tested for FeLV and FIV, microchipped, and dewormed and treated for fleas). I love to stay in touch with my adopters and often receive updates about their new pets thriving in their forever homes!
