Meet Pepper, a resilient little grey tabby with soulful eyes and a quiet strength. At such a young age, she has already overcome more than most—rescued without a mother, terrified and alone, then bravely battling lungworm through two hospital stays in an incubator. Now fully recovered, Pepper is slowly learning that people can be kind. She’s hand-shy and doesn’t like being picked up, but once she feels safe, she’ll come close for gentle pets and treats (which she adores). Pepper finds comfort in the company of other cats and would thrive in a calm home with feline friends and patient humans who understand that trust takes time. Because sudden noises and new faces still scare her, she’s best suited to a quiet household without young children. If you believe in second chances and the beauty of earning a shy kitten’s love, Pepper is waiting for someone just like you. (CCAR ID: L25-137)
