Story
I got Kitty in October of 2021 when she was a kitten at the humane society. Once she is comfortable she will be the most lovable cat you’ve ever had. She loves cuddling in bed and playing. Her favorite spot to be pet is the top of her head and she loves her cheeks being rubbed.

Story
Cleo is 8 years old and full of personality! She can be a little sassy, but is a loyal and loving companion for her person. She will be the first to greet you at the door with a meow. She can be quite talkative. She loves to lay across your chest when you are laying down and will even drool when she is super relaxed and happy. She would be so happy and thankful to be the only pet in the home and not be pestered by children. Please keep in mind she has her front and back claws and will use a scratching post as long as one is available. If you feel led to bring her home, you will always have someone to talk to🥰

Story
If you’re looking for a new best friend who lives life with 110% enthusiasm about everything, makes biscuits at the speed of a commercial bakery, and has a purr as loud as a hybrid engine, Hozier is your guy! Hozier was found with severe injuries that required the amputation of his rear right leg. A subsequent infection of his incision site required another surgery. Through it all, Hozier remained an absolute ray of sunshine and won the hearts of everyone who met him.  Hozier’s quickly learned how much he loves to play! He especially likes toys he can bat to chase and wand toys. Squeeze treats are his favorite. When he takes a moment to relax, he’s a snuggle bug. He loves to cozy up on a lap! Hozier’s met the other cats in his foster home and shows an interest in them. While he occasionally struggles with phantom limb pain and is a little hesitant about jumping, he’s done a fantastic job of adjusting to life as a tripod. This guy really is the entire package and would be an incredible addition to any home. For the quickest response, submit an application here: https://www.pepperspalscatrescue.org/adoptfoster

Story
Paisley is looking for her forever home! She is a very sweet, gentle, quiet young adult cat. She takes a little bit of time to warm up, but once she does, she is very affectionate, purrs a lot, loves rubbing on your legs, and enjoys pets. She also likes sitting on the cat tree looking out the window. She does hide a lot of the time, but that's just what helps her feel safe! She would probably do best in a calmer home. Paisley came to us with stones in her bladder and needed surgery to remove them. She is on a prescription urinary care food and would need to stay on urinary care food for life unless advised otherwise by a veterinarian. Apply to come meet Paisley at www.pepperspalscatrescue.org/adoptfoster for the quickest response!

Story
Sierra is a friendly and playful cat who loves belly rubs and scratches. She gets along well with other cats but is a bit sassy to them at times so would do fine on her own too. She is cuddly but gives love bites when she's overstimulated or has had enough. Sierra's favorite things include dry food, her heating pad, and big stretches! She has been spayed and is up to date on her shots and tests. **Sierra is FIV positive. Her FIV+ status does not mean she cannot be around other cats. She would only be able to give FIV to another cat via a hard bite, so she would need to be introduced slowly and properly to ensure no aggression. Sierra lives with other cats currently with no aggression issues, only a little sass. Sierra is also on prescription gastrointestinal food and will need to stay on this diet unless advised otherwise by a vet. Come meet Sierra!

Story
Jade is a particular, older lady who is very vocal and seeks out attention on her own terms. She can be affectionate when she wants to be. She loves to play and enjoys finding places to hide when she’s ready to rest. She came with another cat (Rory) whom she lived with before, but is indifferent towards them so would most likely be okay alone as well. Jade is front-paw declawed (not done by us at Pepper's Pals - we do not declaw). She also has early-stage kidney disease and is on a prescription diet for this. Jade deserves a furever home to live out her golden years! For the fastest response, submit an application here: https://www.pepperspalscatrescue.org/adoptfoster

Story
Adoption Fee Reduced for December! Say hello to Buddy! Easygoing and Friendly are two words that perfectly describe him. Back in 2019, Buddy was fostered by his current foster mom. He was surrendered back to AOSC through no fault of his own and was adopted. No fault of his own was surrendered a second time in 2024-- he would love to find his FUREVER home. Buddy has a luxating patella, and it is causing arthritis in his knee. He has been responding well to Solensia shots, but that is an ongoing expense prospective adopters should be aware of. His foster mom has this to say about him: "Before coming back to me as a foster, Buddy was up for adoption at an adoption center, but was terrified at that particular adoption location. As soon as I brought him home, he has been nothing but sweet and affectionate! It has been fun fostering a previous foster of mine! Buddy loves human attention and loves to rub against your legs and be petted. He wants to be wherever YOU are! His foster home has 2 adult cats and he gets along with them very well. His last home he also got along with the other adult cat in the home. Buddy is curious and loves to sit and stare out the window. He LOVES Catnip and his favorite treats are Catnip Temptations! As a matter of fact, his favorite toys are filled with Catnip too! Buddy is a Good-Natured fellow who prefers to keep his space clean, including no bad litter box habits. This Handsome, Affectionate boy will be a great addition to a new family, and hopefully find the forever family that he deserves! Buddy is currently in a foster home. If you feel like he would be the perfect fit for your family, please consider visiting shelbycats.com/adopt to begin the application process!
