Fur-ever Friend Feature:

Adopt Me Today!

 

Meet Peppa - Your New Fur-ever Friend!

 

🐾 Adopt Peppa Today! 🐾

Domestic Long Hair
✨ Spayed/Neutered • Vaccinated • Microchipped

Age: 6 years young
Gender: Handsome Adult Male
Best Buddies: Other Cats

 

Meet Peppa, the fluffy gentleman with a heart as big as his gorgeous whiskers! 💕

 

This sweet boy came to us through local Animal Control after his previous owner could no longer care for him. At 6 years old, Peppa is the perfect mix of playful charm and cozy snuggle vibes. He adores curling up in a cubby hole (his little hideaway kingdom!) but will happily trot out for pets, chin scratches, and attention.

 

Peppa is a social butterfly with his feline roommates—he’s cool, calm, and collected when it comes to other cats. While we don’t know much about his past, we do know he’s a go-with-the-flow kind of guy who thrives in mellow environments. Dogs and kids? We’re not sure yet, but Peppa’s gentle nature suggests he could adapt with the right family.

 

💖 Peppa does have a heart condition (Arrhythmia), which means he needs a low-stress, loving home to keep him feeling his best. And here’s the truth: the greatest medicine for Peppa is YOU. A forever family, a cozy couch, and a whole lot of love will make his heart sing.

 

🌟 Peppa is ready to leave shelter life behind and step into the warmth of a forever home. Could that be yours?

 

👉 Come meet Peppa today - because every purr, cuddle, and whisker kiss he gives will remind you that you saved not just a cat, but a heart. 🐾💞

 

🐾 Come meet Peppa today - and let love pounce into your life!

👉 Fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt
📅 Appointments required Wednesdays & Fridays
🚪 Walk-ins welcome all other days (appointments preferred)

 

Let’s make Peppa's next chapter his happiest one yet.
