Pikachu is a deep orange tabby male with white on his chin and throat. Born in 2008, he is one of our three cats from Okinawa. Pikachu and siblings Miyagi and Kimiko are all very skittish, given their recent uprooting and transportation from Japan to New Jersey. Although we expect them to calm down with the passage of some time, at present we recommend all go to a quiet home. While it’s not absolutely necessary that they be adopted together, we’d like potential adopters to consider taking more than one of them as they are very bonded. All get along well with other felines; all are healthy as far as can be determined; and all are very cute!

The truth is that these cats are lucky to be alive. For more on their background, and to find out why we at Tabby’s Place now have a few new heroes to look up to, click on this link.
