Pepper is a fun, friendly cat who knows exactly how to make a house feel like home. She’s got that perfect balance of playful energy and chill companion vibes: one minute she’s batting at toys or zooming around with enthusiasm, the next she’s happily settling in nearby to keep you company.

She loves people and greets them with curiosity and confidence, making her an easy fit for a home that wants an affectionate but not clingy cat. Pepper enjoys attention, gentle pets, and being part of whatever you’re doing—even if that’s just relaxing on the couch. As an adult cat, her personality is fully formed, so what you see is what you get: a sweet, social girl with great manners and lots of heart.

If you’re looking for a cat who’s playful, personable, and ready to be your everyday companion, Pepper might be the perfect match. Come meet her and see how quickly she adds a little extra flavor to your life.
