About Peter

Meet Peter. His journey started in quite a tough situation. He and his siblings were discovered living in unsafe conditions behind a convenience store, relying on their underweight mom for care. Thankfully, they were rescued and brought into foster care, where they had a safe, nurturing environment to grow. Peter is a gentle little soul with a calm demeanor. He prefers to observe new situations before jumping in. Once he feels secure, his playful and affectionate nature comes to life. He enjoys getting involved with his siblings, loves to play, and turns into a total cuddle bug when picked up. His purring is unmatched, and he adores snuggling with those he trusts. Having spent time around a dog, Peter has shown he can adapt well, although he may take a moment to warm up. With a little patience, he’ll settle in comfortably. He’s received flea prevention and deworming treatments, and before heading to his forever home, he will get his FVRCP vaccine and microchip. Although he hasn’t been neutered yet, you’ll receive $100 toward that cost if he’s adopted early. Peter is seeking a family that appreciates his gentle personality and is willing to give him the time he needs to adjust. Once he feels at home, you’ll be rewarded with endless affection and a loyal companion sure to win your heart. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
