What do you do with six cats you no longer want? Apparently, some moron in Dekalb County decided to shove them all in a box and duct tape a heavy moving blanket over the box. The cats were rescued and brought into Dekalb County Animal Services (DCAS). Now, two of those cats are living at Camp Kitty.
I was debating whether or not to add more felines to the mix at the camp. But, I kept coming back to this photo of one of the cats that was posted on the Facebook page of a DCAS employee:
CUTE! I’m a sucker for a long-haired cat and this one looked like Nip! After days of thinking it over I decided to pull her and one of her box buddies.
Pickles and Frittata have been at Camp Kitty for nearly a month. It didn’t take them long at all to settle in and make themselves at home. Both girls are sweet and affectionate.

Pickles doesn’t really care to be around other cats. She can take ’em or leave ’em. Which is surprising because she was crammed in a box with five other felines. Maybe because of that she feels no desire to be close to another cat again. Pickles loves humans, though. The only thing she loves more than wet food is a good petting.
Pickles is what cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy would classify as a tree dweller. She spends her day on the top shelves in the retail area. More specifically, she spends it in a tuna can bed on one of the top shelves.

Frittata…where to start with her…. She thrives on being the center of attention. If you work from home she probably isn’t the cat for you. She enjoys rolling in front of the keyboard when I’m typing. She thinks my hand should be petting her instead of using a pen to write. One of her favorite activities is greeting customers. She and Schroeder are the Greeting Kitty Committee.
She and Schroeder enjoy playing with each other, too. A game of chase, hide n’ pounce seems to be a favorite.
Pickles and Frittata are up for adoption through AARF. If you are interested in adding a sweet, affectionate kitty to your home then come in to meet these lovely ladies.
From this…
to this.
Let me add that I think the girls are older kittens probably under a year old. Also, they’re pretty small. And in case you’re wondering the other four box kitties were either rescued or adopted.
