FURever Home Friday - Pepper Edition



We mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Pepper the Cat finally found the forever home for which she had been waiting more than two years. We're happy to report that she is doing fantastically, and already has her new mom and dad wrapped around her paw! Check out the e-mail and pictures her mom sent the day after they adopted our spicy pal...

Here are some pics from last night and today of our new baby grandma!!! We didn't have much time to take photos because we were too busy petting her!! Pep has adjusted pretty much immediately! By 3am she was following me into the bathroom (she already used her litter box) and just saying hi, then we just snuggled and had a bonding session then she went off to explore. Then this morning at 7 when I got up we spent the whole morning deciding which rug she liked the best! She spent the whole evening with us in the living room talking and hanging out and we pretty much could not stop loving her!

Now she is snuggled, next to the radiator just purring and we are in bed. She is just so amazing and I love just hearing her talking to us. And as soon as we say Pep Pep she comes waddling in! And as soon as she hears my voice or Chris's voice she just gets up from wherever she is and comes in for a head dive. We have pillows and blankets everywhere but she seems to like the soft rugs the best. And of course it's just so quiet here I don't think she even knows what to think!



She seems to be enjoying full body rub downs with no complaints and is beyond friendly and lovable. She hasn't shown any signs of attitude whatsoever! I actually can't believe how funny she is - she just always wants to be wherever we are! It's hilarious! We think she wants her space and time to explore- but then there she is...those little legs come running in "Hey guys! Don't forget about me!" How could we EVER forget about you Pepper!!!!?! You are our family now!!! - Mariclare and Chris

Thank you, Mariclare and Chris, for adopting our spicy senior Pepper. We are so happy for you all!

    Isn't it amazing how easily our sweet animals adapt and change and love and accept? So thrilled that this little one found a furever home. Wish all shelters were empty tomorrow morning and all kittens and puppies born had loving homes waiting for them.
