About Pepper & Poppy

Pepper and Poppy are a delightful pair of bonded sisters looking for a new home together after a detour in their life. Both girls entered rescue in 2024 while pregnant and went on to co-parent 13 adorable kittens. Their playful demeanor and close bond make them a joy to be around. Poppy is a striking black cat adorned with smoky gray patches on her chest, giving her a unique look. She has a soft, sleek coat and a sweet, albeit shy personality. Don’t be discouraged by her initial timidity; a brush works wonders to coax her out of her shell. Curiosity drives her to observe everything around her, and she loves playtime with her sister, Pepper. On the other hand, Pepper is a fluffy silver and gray beauty with a bold, outgoing personality. She's always up for companionship and affection, especially if it involves tummy rubs and playtime with toys or exploring cat trees. Despite having a mild heart murmur, Pepper is in good spirits, and the rescue is scheduling a follow-up to ensure her health. These sisters thrive best in a calmer, adult-only home where they can enjoy both active play and quiet relaxation. They’re funny, fun, and full of personality; expect to hear them racing around your home, bringing a touch of joy to your everyday life. Both Pepper and Poppy are house trained and ready to bring laughter to your life. Click apply to start the adoption process.
