Pepperjack is a 2-year-old Domestic Cat in Harrisburg, PA, who needs $2,000 for Gastric Obstruction Surgery.

Pepperjack was found as a feral kitten by a friend. I took him in, and we've been best buddies ever since. Now he lives with his dad and aunties in Harrisburg, PA.

Pepperjack is a playful and cheeky little guy. He loves to pounce on his brother Rossko. He is curious and friendly and loves to snuggle his daddy after he gets home from work.

Every day when I come home from work, Pepperjack demands snuggles. He sits down on my chest and lays down and rests his face against mine. He is also a purring machine! He's like a loud engine motor.

Pepperjack ingested garbage bag string at the beginning of January. We thought he vomited it all out, but after repeated tummy issues, losing appetite and losing weight, an ultrasound on Jan 22nd revealed that there is still probably more string in him. The next step is gastric obstruction surgery. He is being treated at the Animal Hospital of Dauphin County in Harrisburg.

I am a zookeeper with part-time hours. I make 14 dollars an hour. I love my job and I love it, but it's not an occupation that makes much money. My gross yearly income is about 16000. This is insanely expensive for me. I just want my buddy back and healthy so bad.
