Fallen From a Garbage Truck: Pickles Needs Your Help

Meet Pickles, a kitten less than two weeks old who was seen falling from the back of a trash truck, tangled among discarded garbage. A Good Samaritan witnessed it, one of those moments that makes your heart stop, and without hesitation, scooped him up and rushed him to us.

We don’t know how he ended up there. Maybe his mother gave birth in a dumpster. Maybe someone threw him away. All we know is this: he deserved to be saved.

As soon as Pickles arrived, he was rushed to the incredible team at Animal Medical of Chesapeake, who saw him right away and treated his injuries with urgency and compassion.

Their swift care helped stabilize him and gave him a fighting chance. We are beyond grateful for their partnership and dedication to animals in crisis.

Now, Pickles is recovering in the loving foster care of Reba's Animal Rescue Executive Director, Meagan Goins, where he’s being bottle-fed around the clock and monitored closely. He’s safe. He’s warm. And he’s loved.

This is a reminder that animal welfare isn’t always puppy kisses and kitten cuddles. It’s emergency vet runs, 2 a.m. feedings, tears, heartbreak, and hope…sometimes all in the same day.

💔 This is the reality. And it's why we do what we do, and we can't do it without your help. Thank you!
