Taby cat domesticated shorthair

Message from Owner

Looking for the neighbor who adopted my uniquely loving tabby "Peppercorn" from the OHS (December 2025) Hi everyone,I am reaching out to the south end Ottawa community (Somero Private, Findlay Creek, Riverside South) with a heavy heart. My 2-year-old female domestic shorthair tabby cat, Peppercorn, went missing in December 2025, and I recently learned she was adopted out to a new home from the Ottawa Humane Society later that month.Because of privacy laws, the shelter cannot give me the adopter's information, so I am hoping this reaches them or someone who knows them.Peppercorn has a highly unique, irreplaceable personality that her new family would definitely recognize by now:The Soft Head-Butt: She is incredibly gentle and loving, and her main way of showing affection is softly head-butting you.The Shadow: She never leaves your side and always wants to be right on your lap or laying flt on top of you.The Pant-Leg Hitchhiker: She has a hilarious, specific habit where she will literally hook her claws into the top of your pants right by your waist/belly button and refuse to let go, just hanging on while you walk around the hse supporting her from the bottom.If you adopted this sweet, unique girl, or if you know a neighbor who recently got a tabby with these exact traits, please reach out to me. I am more than willing to offer a generous financial reward for her safe return to compensate you for all adoption fees and care.If you love her and aren't ready to part with her, please consider just sending me a message to let me know she is safe and happy. I am completely heartbroken and just need to know she is okay. Please direct message me or comment below. Thank you so much. In desperate need of help. I have been on the search to find her for 7 months.

I really hope that the new owners of your cat see your message and accept your offer and return Peppercorn back to you. It must be heartbreaking not to be able to get her back. I don't understand, how can OHS give away a cat that has already owner and she's not abandoned. 💔 Can't they fix this? They can ask to the new owners to return your cat back to you, and allow them adopt a new cat.

Ask the Ottawa Humane Society to forward an open letter from you to her new owners, explaining how sad you feel, but hope they are happy with Peppercorn. If ever she became too much for them you could, of course, offer to have her back, with their blessing. Good luck.

Jane Walker I really appreciate that so much 🙏 thank you. I'm holding onto hope that Peppercorn's adopter will see this and reach out. Hopefully, my beautiful babygirl and I will be reunited together soon 🙊

So sorry to hear what happened to your cat, Peppercorn. That's so 😔 sad that she got adopted out before you could get her. Sincerely hope her adopters come forward 🙏 to either give her back to you or at least let you know that she is ok. Difficult situation. I hope you get some answers. 💕 Shared with hope for you.
