About Piper

Piper is as sweet as can be and is now ready to find her forever home. She joined the rescue in July as a tiny kitten with a high fever, which led to some minor neurological issues. After ruling out various causes for her noticeable tremors and rapid eye movements, we confirmed these were linked to her fever as a baby. Thankfully, those conditions have resolved, and she’s been thriving ever since. In her foster home, Piper’s playful nature shines through. She loves to chase her kitty friends and isn’t shy about racing after any toys tossed her way. This affectionate girl has a delightful purr that kicks in the moment you touch her, and she’s quite vocal about her needs—especially when meal times roll around. While she playfully communicates with her companions, her growls come from an endearing place, showing she’s not afraid to express her boundaries. Now that she’s been cleared for adoption, Piper is excited for the next chapter of her journey. Your new best friend is just one click away.
