Kellie Pickler made a pretty big sacrifice on behalf of her hubby.

In a new interview with Parade, the 25-year-old country singer reveals she was forced to "find a good home" for her cat Pickles because her husband Kyle Jacobs is "severely allergic to them."

"I still get a little teary-eyed when I think about Pickles," the American Idol alum admits, adding that she's always been a "people pleaser."

"I want everybody to be happy," Pickler tells Parade. "I want everybody to like me and I want to like everybody."
