*** SAFE 07/23/17 *** A volunteer writes: Beautiful Pepper carries herself like a queen, but that doesn’t stop her from having a good time. She’s affectionate and likes being pet, and she really enjoys playing with toys. She was especially adorable while chasing around, pouncing on and chewing up a feather toy she particularly liked. Even royalty has to have fun sometimes.
