My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pepper is a striking black kitten with adorable white bikini markings and a personality that is equal parts sweet, silly, and clever. She is curious about everything around her and especially enjoys climbing, exploring, and figuring things out on her own terms.

Pepper is independent, confident in familiar spaces, and likes to be in control of her interactions. She enjoys affection but prefers it to happen her way. Pepper can be a bit hand shy and may dart away from an outstretched hand, but once she decides it is time for attention, she happily leans in for pets. She does not enjoy the moment before being picked up, but once held, she settles in and enjoys it.

She has a high energy, playful nature and spends much of her time climbing, chasing toys, and engaging with her environment. Furry mice, ping pong balls, and climbing scratchers are some of her favorites. When playtime winds down, Pepper loves to snuggle up with a sibling or stretch out on a warm bed for a well earned nap.

Pepper is generally quiet and does not meow much. She is food motivated and happily enjoys both wet and dry food, often grazing throughout the day. She has excellent litter box habits and is comfortable sharing with other cats. She uses scratching posts appropriately.

Pepper has had positive interactions with other kittens and adult cats, even confidently exploring the main room at the sanctuary when she gets the chance. She is friendly, curious, and social, though she is not a lap cat. She would do best with another cat or kitten to match her playful energy and provide companionship.

Pepper would thrive in a home with considerate, gentle children who understand that she likes affection on her own terms. If you are looking for a smart, energetic, and charming kitten with a confident streak and a playful spirit, Pepper may be the perfect addition to your home.
