About Pepper
What are you waiting for? Apply today! Pepper is a very special lady in search of her forever family! Once found outside as a small kitten with no use of her back legs, Pepper was discovered to have suffered a spinal fracture. Thankfully, she has made an incredible recovery and now has full use of her legs. Despite her progress, she remains incontinent, both with urine and feces, but her zest for life shines bright. She wears a diaper comfortably and even sports a special suit to help her keep it on. Daily care and regular veterinary attention are needed, including a prescription diet to help manage her stool and a soothing lotion to protect her skin from any scalding. Pepper is a loving, resilient soul who bravely endured so much at such a young age. Pepper is looking for an adopter or forever foster who understands incontinence and can provide a safe space where she can be diaper-free at times, like a room or a section of the house just for her. She thrives with other cats and enjoyed playing with her foster sister Clover. Pepper is accustomed to being around small dogs and keeps her distance. Adopting a special needs cat like Pepper offers the chance to develop a unique and profound bond. She is ready to return the love you give tenfold, and her loyalty will melt your heart. Start your journey together! Apply now.
