In the shelter’s words

Pepper and his brother Moo were born in September of 2025. They recently moved to a foster home because their family was going through some hardship and can no longer take care of them. They adjusted to the foster family in just a few days, and they are both super chill, sweet, and affectionate! They are friendly towards everyone in the household, adults and teens, and are even brave enough to say hi to family visitors! Pepper is the size of a small dog, and sometimes act like one. He loves exploring around the house, nap in different places, comes running and meowing when he hears 'dinner!' And he will come jump on you randomly to nuzzle for some cuddles while he purrs and makes biscuits. They are both very gentle, not picky with their food, and are litter box trained. Check out these short videos of him playing with his brother, and enjoying some bonding time with his human: https://youtube.com/shorts/uooQrwW9kgo https://youtube.com/shorts/Mmmf_aU2P2o https://youtu.be/o_sfPbZIHHQ?is=BZItY8jRjYRT8c3R Pepper is being fostered in Palo Alto, and his adoption fee is $25.
