In February, Pepé and his sisters Tulip and Iris were found wandering on the streets of Denton, Texas. They were covered in fleas and mud and were surviving on garbage. The City of Denton Animal Shelter took them in, where they went through a vetting process and stayed for a month before being put up for adoption. Nicole Lopez, an animal control officer, shared this information saying that all three of them were found in poor condition but have since been treated and are ready to find their forever homes.
Lopez stated that Pepé had a more reserved personality compared to Tulip and Iris. After his sisters were adopted in March, he became even more introverted and withdrawn. Despite this, no one ever bothered to visit or give him any attention due to his shyness. However, Pepé’s luck changed when Daspin and Tucker from New York City, located 1,500 miles away, took notice of him.
Daspin and Tucker have a couple of extra cats, one is named Iggy, who’s a 5-year-old sphynx, while the other is an orange tabby called Spud. Elsa, their last cat, passed away recently, and they felt that it was time to welcome new additions to their furry family. According to Tucker, the search for their new pets started casually. He said that after work, they would sit on the couch and browse through PetFinder or local rescue sites every few days. They weren’t in a rush to find their perfect match; instead, they wanted to take their time and find the ideal feline additions to their household.
As their eyes scanned through the images, they landed on Pepé’s photo. Tucker humorously described him as a combination of different cat features. The decision to adopt him was easily made after seeing that he got along well with other cats. Without wasting any time, Daspin and Tucker set off to Texas the very next day.
As Tucker recounted, the moment they met Pepé, they knew he was the one. The little feline pressed his head into their palms and started purring, and they were instantly smitten. They made the decision to adopt him without any hesitation. Pepé didn’t disappoint them during the journey to New York, and he quickly adapted to his new home. As Tucker observed, it was fascinating to witness how Pepé transformed from a timid shelter cat to an outgoing and friendly fellow. They also appreciated how Pepé had grown close to them, as they had never encountered a cat as loyal and amiable as him.
Pepé has found a great bond with his new furry siblings, and Iggy is his favorite. The little guy has taken Pepé under his wing and enjoys playing chase around the home. Iggy also likes to groom the sleeping Pepé, which he seems to enjoy. Pepé is incredibly fascinated with Iggy and follows him around, observing everything he does. Spud is the wise elder among the three cats since he prefers to watch them play from a distance. Although Pepé respects Spud’s personal space, he doesn’t mind sunbathing along with him.
According to Tucker, Pepé is a lovable feline who enjoys the company of both humans and other animals. In fact, Tucker has never encountered a rescue cat that has been as welcoming to new siblings as Pepé. However, Daspin and Tucker are uncertain about Pepé’s breed. Despite being labeled as a sphynx mix by the shelter, there are those who believe that he might be a Donskoy or Peterbald mix.
