About this Cat
**Meet Pershing — The Street-Smart Sweetheart Looking for His Safe Place** Little Pershing didn’t get the soft start every kitten deserves. Thrown from a car on a busy highway, he was lucky that a kind soul scooped him up near Pershing Street — where he got his name and his second chance. Pershing is a sleek black beauty with wide, watchful eyes and a heart still learning to trust. He’s not for the first-time cat owner — sudden movements and loud noises send him into retreat mode, and he may hiss just to say *“I need space”* — but it’s all bark, no bite. Give him patience, and you'll see the softer side: the treat lover, the toy chaser, the kitten who's been braver than most of us ever have to be. He does well with other cats and even dogs, and he’s slowly figuring out that the world isn’t always scary. What Pershing needs now is a home that offers consistency, compassion, and someone who truly *understands cats* — someone who can see past his fears and help him blossom into the confident companion he’s meant to be. Indoor-only Declawing prohibited by contract Cat and dog friendly Loves toys Obsessed with treats Deserves safety, patience, and love If you're the kind of person who believes in second chances and understands that healing takes time, Pershing may just be your perfect match.
Contribute to Pershing's Stash!
100% of Pershing's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Pershing.
Adopt Pershing and Receive Pershing's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Pershing's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Pershing's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Pershing, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Pershing's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Pershing was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Pershing’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Pershing’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Pershing’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
