Pepper has spent most of her young life raising kittens, coming to the rescue as a new mom and even giving birth again unexpectedly. With mothering behind her and now spayed, Pepper is just over a year old and settling into the calmer side of life. She keeps to herself and tends to be shy, so she truly needs someone patient who understands cats and is ready to let her come out of her shell in her own time. Her shots are up to date and she's been tested negative for feline leukemia and FIV. Pepper does well with other cats and children, but will benefit most from a gentle, quiet home where she can learn to trust people. If you bring a cat carrier and meet the age requirements, she's waiting in Austin, MN for the right adopter. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
