Kellie Pickler gave up cat for 'severely allergic' husband
Kellie Pickler was forced to give up her beloved pet before marrying new husband Kyle Jacobs because he's "severely allergic" to cats.
The former American Idol star wed her songwriter boyfriend Jacobs on a private island in the Caribbean last January (11) after three years of dating.
But before the big day, Pickler made one heart-wrenching sacrifice
for her husband-to-be.
She tells Parade magazine, "I love cats, but my husband's severely
allergic to them. I had to find a good home for my cat when we got
together. I still get a little teary eyed when I think about
Pickles."
However, the young beauty has found new ways to show off her love
of felines - she's recently partnered with designer Geren Ford to
create a limited-edition sweater in honour of February's Cat
Appreciation Month to raise funds for the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
She adds, "I'm no Vera Wang, that's for sure, but it's really cute
for a cat sweater. I think there's a stereotype for women who love
cats. We get called crazy cat ladies, so this is hopefully going to
break that!"
