Providence Animal Rescue League

Meet Pequeño — a tiny name for a cat with a huge personality! This boy is full of confidence, curiosity, and nonstop energy. He’s the type of cat who wants to be involved in everything and is always ready for his next adventure.

Pequeño is playful, active, and always on the move. He loves to run, climb, chase toys, and stay busy, and he’ll need a home that can keep up with his energetic lifestyle. Because he can play a little rough and gets very excited during playtime, we think he would do best in an adult only home.

This fun-loving guy will thrive in a home that offers lots of enrichment and outlets for his busy brain. Tall cat trees, shelves to climb, wand toys, treat puzzles, food-dispensing toys, and daily interactive play will all help keep Pequeño happy and fulfilled. He’s not a couch potato — he’s looking for a home that will embrace his spirited personality and give him opportunities to stay engaged.

Pequeño has lived with other animals before and would likely do best with another playful feline friend in the home to help match his energy and keep him company.

If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an adopter profile at www.parl.org/adopt and stop by during our open hours!

Our small animal population is growing, and lately we’ve seen an increase in rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small pets being surrendered to our care.

Many people don’t realize that small animals require specialized care, housing, enrichment, and veterinary attention. As a result, shelters across the country are seeing record numbers of these pets in need of new homes—and PARL is no exception.

Right now, we have a wonderful variety of smallies waiting for families of their own. While they may be small in size, their care needs are significant, and every surrender means additional food, bedding, medical care, and housing that your support helps provide.

If you’ve been considering adding a small companion to your family, now is a great time to adopt. Not ready to adopt? Consider opening your home as a foster. Fostering helps free up valuable shelter space, allows animals to relax in a home environment, and gives us the opportunity to help even more small pets in need. Whether you can foster for a few weeks or a few months, your support can make a life-changing difference.

And if fostering or adopting isn’t possible right now, sharing this post or making a donation can help us continue caring for the growing number of small animals arriving at our doors.

These little ones may be easy to overlook, but they deserve the same chance at a loving home as every cat and dog in our care. ❤️

🧂🖤 Meet Salt & Pepper 🖤🧂

Salt and Pepper are a classic duo — and just like their namesake, they’re better together!

These adorable young adult guinea pig boys are estimated to be a little over 2 years old and are looking for a home where they can continue their favorite pastime: being best friends. One minute they’re snuggled up side by side, and the next they’re playfully chasing each other away from the best bunk bed view in town!

Like most guinea pigs, Salt and Pepper can be a little shy when meeting new people. But with patience, quiet hangout sessions, and plenty of tasty snacks, they quickly warm up and become chatty little companions who will happily greet you and follow your every move.

These boys are also quite the athletes! Salt and Pepper love showing off their “parkour” skills by climbing on top of hidey houses, exploring every corner of their space, chewing on apple sticks, and sharing meals side by side. They're always entertaining and full of personality.

Salt and Pepper are currently thriving in a foster home, and honestly, we can't believe no one has scooped them up yet! They're handsome, hilarious, and have so much love (and commentary) to share with the right family.
