Pepper's Story

Poor Pepper has had so much turmoil in his young life! He was originally adopted from FUR as a kitten, then returned 5 years later when his adopter went into hospice care. He was adopted again in January 2025, but sadly he was returned again for being too strong willed. Is the right family out there looking for Pepper?<br/><br/>Pepper is not a fan of other cats, but he has lived peacefully with a senior dog in his previous home. He may not be the most obedient cat - no amount of begging and pleading kept him from sitting wherever he pleased - but he has a lot of love to give! This fun adventurous boy loved splashing in his own tiny pool in the bathtub of his former home, and he loves playing with toys! His ideal adopter will be someone who can appreciate his quirks and love him just the way that he is.
