My story

Introducing Dr. Pepper (yes that's right she's EDUCATED). Dr. Pepper was born on the campus of Columbia University at a construction site and was rescued after one of the moms of these two litters was killed and hit by a car. This adorable soda kitten has come so far from being scared when she first was rescued. Dr. Pepper is a secret genius. Like most girl kittens, she’s the brains of the operation. What operation, you ask? Charming you into hot wiring a car and stealing it for her. Like her brother Sunkist, she may be a little shy when she initially meets you, but don't be discouraged, she's a total lover. She’s also devastatedly adorable and has tufts of black fur on the ends of her ears that make her look like a lynx and help her communicate directly with her mothership. Is she planning an alien invasion and cat takeover of the world? Maybe! So start sucking up to her now, because she'll remember one day! Dr. Pepper and some of her siblings suffer from a condition called Rickets (you may have heard of this in some old timey books and movies because really in 2026 who has rickets anymore?). Rickets affects her ability to absorb calcium and because of this she takes medication to help manage this condition! Besides that however, she is an incredibly sweet and loving playful kitten who will warm your heart and your home.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Dr. Pepper, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
