Pet of the Week: Peeps

This week it's easy to hang out with your ‘Peeps’ because he's the adoptable Pet of the Week at Rancho Coastal Humane Society.

Name: Peeps

Type of animal: Cat

Age: 4 years

Weight: 12 pounds

Gender: male, neutered

Breed:  shorthair brown Tabby cat with some white fur

Peeps came to Rancho Coastal Humane Society around Easter, and therefore the popular holiday candy inspired his name. It’s fitting, however, because this kitty is exceptionally sweet. He gives head-butts to get your attention then sits on your lap to ‘make muffins’ with his paws.

He is a brown tabby, but the fur on his upper chest and neck is bright white. It sneaks up onto his nose and between his bright eyes. You really need to meet him in person to appreciate how handsome he is.

Peeps’ adoption fee of $125 includes his medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, and microchip.
