My story

  She may be tiny, but don’t let that fool you. Pepper is a super-sweet, silly, and curious girl with a big heart. A feather wand-toy enthusiast, Pepper might even sit on her favorite toy after playtime. She is also an avid window-watcher. She enjoys sitting by her humans while they watch TV or work from home, and sits on her foster’s lap. She likes hugs and snuggles, as long as you let her decide when she’s had enough. Social and talkative, she’ll greet you and your friends at the door with excitement and enthusiasm. While she does love hanging out with humans, she also likes her quiet time. Pepper would thrive in a home where she can shine as an only pet. After raising four kittens, she’s ready to be the center of attention and receive all the pets and head scratches on offer. Pepper has a sensitive stomach that requires a prescription diet and laxatives mixed into her food daily. She has been doing very well on this regimen.   Age: 1.5 years How I came to PAWS: Owner can no longer care for her Animal ID#: A56931 &#226&#128&#139I am not at the shelter. Please email my foster parent at camiliap47@gmail.com to learn more about me! _____________________________________ To adopt a cat, complete the application at phillypaws.org/catapp. To adopt a dog, complete the application at phillypaws.org/dogapp.  To adopt a small animal, complete the application at phillypaws.org/small-animal-adoption-application.           Please reference this animal's ID NUMBER when inquiring.
