Pepper Is Princeton's Pet Of The Week

PRINCETON, NJ — Meet Pepper! She has been chosen as Princeton Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is Pepper. She’s an 8 year old domestic shorthair who lives with her mom, dad and two human siblings Avery and Henry in Lawrenceville.

Pepper is mom and dad’s first baby and has been with them since she was three months old, and was adopted (just like mom!) from the Mount Pleasant Animal Shelter in East Hanover.

She’s named Pepper after a character from one of mom’s favorite musicals, 'Annie', and because of her speckled belly and her spunk. She loves to snuggle with mommy in bed, watch the birds and squirrels in the backyard and play with water in the sink. She’s fiercely loyal and protective of mom and dad and loves being with her humans!"
