About Pepper

Meet Pepper, a sweet black Domestic Short Hair who's seen more than her fair share of hardship. Born on November 12, 2017, Pepper was initially rescued as part of a TNR effort but was later abandoned by her rescuer. Now at nearly 9 years old, she finds herself in a foster home where the environment is not suited for her, leading to confusion and depression. Most days, Pepper retreats into a cage, feeling overwhelmed and unable to be her true self around the other cats. Despite her struggles, Pepper shines with adorable charisma and is an excellent lap cat who's affectionate, especially towards her foster mom. Though initially shy, she opens up to those who show her kindness. Unfortunately, as a black cat approaching her golden years, she has faced challenges in finding her forever home and longingly seeks a quiet retirement filled with love. Pepper gets along well with kids and dogs of all sizes but would prefer a home without other cats. She is already spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. Located in Riverside, CA, Pepper is ready for a fresh start with someone who can offer her the comfort and affection she desperately deserves. Ready to give her the chance she needs?
