Kevin and Jenna’s Pet of the Week

Meet Pickles, our Pet of the Week from CT Humane Society! This sweet 6-year-old female Persian calico is looking for her forever home.

Pickles would love to have a feline friend and might even be open to living with a calm dog or gentle children. She’s a shy girl who needs time to warm up, so a quiet, peaceful home would be the best fit. Once she’s comfortable, she adores getting pets and spending quality time with her favorite people.

Pickles has some special needs. As a Persian, her eyes and face folds need daily cleaning to prevent infection. She’s also had some dental work while in the care of the CT Humane Society and may need additional care in the future.

This cutie pie is available at CT Humane Society’s Westport location and is ready for her new home! To learn more about her, visit her profile at CThumane.org/Adopt. If you’re interested, fill out the adoption questionnaire linked on her profile. If your application is approved, CHS Adoption Counselors will call to schedule an appointment to meet Pickles and learn more about her.

Rosa and Lucas’ 11-year-old has started buying and wearing a lot of perfume. She even already asked for one that’s $150 that’s supposed to make you smell a special way based on your DNA. Mom doesn’t think it’s a big deal, but Dad hates it. He hates that she always has a strong smell. He thinks the house constantly smells weird because of her. He thinks it’s inappropriate for a tween to wear any kind of fragrance. He’d rather she wears some make up than perfumes. Mom thinks he’s overreacting, they’re all doing it now and it’s fine. What do you think?

Alex has got a shot at $400! All she has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia!
