Notes from Tailchaser Rescue

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:

Tailchaser Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill organization dedicated to rescuing cats and dogs from shelters where they are in danger. Our foster volunteers provide loving temporary homes for our rescued animals until they are adopted.

By adopting a cat or dog, you're making a commitment to provide love, care, and medical treatment for the life of the animal, which can be up to 20 years or more! We are committed to placing our rescued animals with families who are prepared for the responsibility of owning an animal for its entire lifetime, so that they are never again at the mercy of the shelter system.
