Pepper Care

Hello, everyone

I am re-posting the basics of Pepper care, because it seems he's been doing a lot of visiting. We'd like to hear about visits more often, especially from people who choose to allow him into their homes and / or to feed him. He's been absent from our house for several days and we were getting worried. Turns out, many have seen him and he's fine.

Thanks all!

Pepper Care

If you see Pepper out & about, please consider adding a blog post or a comment to let us know. If Pepper comes to visit and you'd like to let him stick around, please let us know that. Just please bear in mind the following:

* If you need to call us please do so between 6am and 10pm. If it's the middle of the night and you don't want to keep him, just put him out! Exceptions are

1) if he seems hurt (ravenously hungry doesn't qualify)

2) if the weather is terrible, or

3) if he's flirting with crossing a busy street (McGrath, Somerville Ave, Washington St, Bow St).

In those instances you can call anytime.

* If you find him off of Prospect Hill (meaning on the wrong side of Union Sq, the McGrath Hwy, Vinal, Highland, Summer, or Washington) please call us or bring him home.

* If Pepper is Visiting You PLEASE DON'T FEED HIM unless you plan to host him on a regular basis over the winter. He needs to learn where the consistent source(s) of food is(are).

* We don't mind him having extended visits (like a couple/3 days) in homes that enjoy having him around... he is a really fun cat! But, of course you'll need to have a litter box and all. Moreover, even if you had a hard time keeping him out of the house, after about 24 hours you'll have a harder time keeping him in!

Thanks, here's to successful community pet management!
