Pepperoni was living the good life in a home for 10 years; originally found as a stray kitten he was brought inside. Unfortunately, there was a child in the home who developed severe allergies, the family tried all different things, but eventually, Pepperoni was surrendered. Pepperoni is 12.5 pounds, and already neutered, he is happiest perched atop a cat tree watching the world from a window. He likes to nap in the rays of sunshine and can be weary when meeting new people. His previous family said he gets startled quickly so slow movements are preferred. Additionally, he is scared of vacuums, thunder and would do best in a low-traffic home where he can go about his day. He is litter-box trained, was kept loose in the house and appeared fine when left alone up to 8 hours a day. This majestic fella likes his space, and likes to engage with his people on his terms! (Meow!). While he is not your overly engaging lap-cat, he would do best in a quiet home, with respectful teens.
