Pepper is a middle-aged tabby with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. He does have hyperthyroidism, but he is an absolute champion when it comes to taking his medication—no pill poppers needed! Because of his condition, he’s on the skinny side, but what he lacks in weight he more than makes up for in sweetness. Pepper is incredibly gentle and polite. He’ll never jump on you unexpectedly, but he absolutely loves being held, softly “bopping” his head against you, and curling up to sleep by your bedside. He has the cutest little squeaky meow that sounds just like a tiny squeak horn, and he’ll happily follow you from room to room just to be near you. He may be considered special needs, but with consistent medication, Pepper can live a happy, normal life. Don’t let hyperthyroidism steer you away—this sweet boy is ready to fill your home with quiet companionship, soft squeaks, and unconditional love. 🐾💛 Our vet estimates Pepper at about 9 years young. Included with the adoption is the kitty's neuter, all current-due FVRCP, FeLeuk, and rabies vaccinations for kitties over 1-year, deworming, flea treatment, a wellness check, FIV/FeLV combo testing, and microchipping.
