Pepper is a 10 month old American Shorthair in West Saint Paul , MN, who needs $2,000 for Foreign Body Obstruction - Removal.

Pepper was a rescued from the St.Paul neighborhood along with her three other siblings. She was the smallest of the bunch, small but mighty! Our family took her in and we immediately fell in love. She quickly opened up at home and her small and mighty character landed her the name of Pepper. She’s small, feisty, mischievous, smart and the perfect little sister to Osito.

Pepper swallowed a hair tie and was able to regurgitate part of the hair tie, she continued to show signs of lethargy, no interest in playing or eating. We decided to take pepper to the ER in fear that she may still have something stuck in her body. We arrived at Animal Emergency and Referral center in St.Paul where they were able take an Xray and they determined that Pepper had an obstruction.

Pepper has brought so much joy to our lives in the past 10 months. From rescuing her, fostering her and eventually adopting her. When Pepper is not busy bossing her brother around, you can find her solving puzzles, sun bathing, tackling college courses with her mom, and at night watching Law & Order SVU with the spare humans of the home.

We are facing some financial difficulties in gathering the money for the surgery that Pepper will need in order to remove the obstruction and any recovery treatment. Any help is appreciated!
