Story
She’s about three months old and was lovingly gifted to our family by a friend. Unfortunately, we are moving and our schedule has become quite busy, and we want her to have the time and attention she deserves—so we’re looking for a new, caring home for her. She’s a very friendly and vocal little one who loves to cuddle, play, and bonds quickly with people. She’ll come with all her favorite toys, bedding, and a playpen (if you’d like), as well as her full vaccination certificate.

Story
Hi, I’m Pepper. Not so long ago, I was trying to survive outside with my little family. Life was scary and uncertain, but then a kind stranger found us and made sure we were safe. My kittens have grown up and gone on to find loving homes, and now it’s my turn. I’m a short-haired beauty with soft fur and a gentle heart. At first, I can be a little shy, but once I know I can trust you, I’ll melt into your hand for head rubs and quiet affection. I love having a safe place to nap, a warm lap nearby, and someone who talks to me kindly. I’ve learned what it means to be a house cat, and I think I’m pretty good at it. I use my litter box like a pro, enjoy my meals, and keep my coat tidy. What I’m looking for now is a forever home where I can keep blooming into the affectionate, loyal friend I know I am. If you’ve been waiting for a sweet companion who will love you quietly but deeply, I’d love to meet you. Pepper is positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiencieny virus). Cats with FIV may be more susceptible to infections, although many cats with FIV live a normal lifespan. Pepper is currently being fostered by a wonderful family, off site. If you think you might have room in your heart and home for this sweet girl, please submit an application and we will make arrangements for you to meet her.
