Pepper

Pepper is a charming black cat with a bold personality to match his sleek looks. This 8-year-old boy is an adventurer at heart—he loves exploring the outdoors but always makes his way back home for meals and, more importantly, for quality time with his people.

Fair warning: Pepper is a total love bug who doesn’t believe in being ignored. He’ll follow you around, demand attention at the best (and sometimes worst) times, and absolutely steal your heart with his affectionate nature. He thrives on interaction and genuinely wants to be part of your day-to-day life.

With his lean build and playful spirit, Pepper brings both adventure and companionship to any home willing to give him the engagement he deserves.

Perfect for: Someone who appreciates an interactive, loving cat who’ll keep them company and isn’t afraid to ask for cuddles.
