Her foster notes "Chickpea is a really fun animal she likes to play a lot with humans and other animals we have fostered a lot of pocket pets and Chickpea is the sweetest of all of them and we hope for her to be in the best home ever and have the best life. If you adopt her she will have a great time with you and your family or who lives with you. She will jump in your hand if you have treats in it or if you don't she also likes to be on people's shoulder but make sure your are close to the ground so she does not fall."

Cashew & Chickpea came to MNPPR when their previous owner was no longer able to provide proper care.

Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. This animal's foster parent prefers to meet at the Roseville PetSmart - 2480 Fairview Ave N, Roseville, MN 55113 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Fee: Cashew & Chickpea have a combined adoption fee of $20

We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask.

More about this rescue

MN Pocket Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization primarily serving the Twin Cities Metro Area, focusing on education and public outreach. Our intent is to keep all animals in their homes, with their families, whenever possible. We are committed to rescuing those pocket pets that are in jeopardy of being euthanized or are in danger of being abused, left unattended or in other types of vulnerable situations. We ensure all animals receive proper veterinary care, medication and special training for any behavioral issues, as well as to arrange safe, temporary homes for these animals until stable forever homes can be found. Our team is made up of enthusiastic volunteers who work passionately to serve the underrepresented and often misunderstood niche of pocket pets in the overall rescue community and general public.
