Shea Daspin and Joshua Tucker were immediately smitten with Pepé, a 1-year-old feline they found at a shelter. They were drawn to his unique appearance, which featured wispy fur in different areas of his body, as well as partial baldness similar to a sphynx cat. According to Daspin, the couple felt an instant connection with Pepé because of his “strange” look, which was described as being half-sphynx. For them, it was love at first sight.

In February, three siblings named Pepé, Tulip, and Iris were found roaming around the streets of Denton, Texas. They were covered in fleas and dirt, and had been surviving on scraps. The City of Denton Animal Shelter took them in and after a thorough check-up, they were put up for adoption. The trio spent a month at the shelter before being adopted. According to Nicole Lopez, an animal control officer at the shelter, all the siblings were finally given a new home.

Lopez mentioned that compared to Tulip and Iris, Pepé was naturally more careful. However, after his sisters found a home at the end of March, Pepé became even quieter, being left all alone. “He was always the most timid one among the three, and thus he didn’t attract any attention or visitors,” Lopez narrated. Although the locals seemed uninterested in Pepé, he caught the eyes of Daspin and Tucker all the way in New York City, which is around 1,500 miles away.

Daspin and Tucker are proud owners of two more cats, a 5-year-old sphynx called Iggy and an orange tabby named Spud. Sadly, they had recently lost their last cat, Elsa, and wanted to grow their furry family again. The couple started their search casually, browsing through PetFinder and local rescue sites on the sofa after work every few days. They were in no rush and wanted to find the perfect match for their family.

As they looked at the picture of Pepé, their attention was captured. Tucker called him a “combination of different feline features.” Once they examined more photos of him and saw that he got along well with other cats, they knew they had to have him. Without delay, Daspin and Tucker headed to Texas the following day.

Tucker shared how they immediately fell in love with Pepé upon meeting him, recalling how the cat purred as he pressed his head into their palms. They knew that Pepé was meant to go home with them. The journey to New York was a success, and the cat adapted quickly to his new environment. Tucker expressed how amazed he was to witness Pepé’s transformation from a timid shelter cat to a friendly and outgoing feline. He also remarked on Pepé’s level of affection and trust, stating that he had never encountered a cat quite like him.

Pepé seems to have found a happy place in his new home with his siblings. In particular, Iggy has taken a liking to Pepé and treats him like a little brother. Iggy can often be seen chasing Pepé around the house and grooming him while he sleeps. It’s clear that Pepé looks up to Iggy, as he follows him around and watches his every move. The third cat, Spud, is the wise elder of the group and tends to keep to himself. Although Pepé respects Spud’s space, he enjoys lounging in the sun with him. Overall, Pepé’s integration into the family seems to have been successful, and he’s enjoying his new siblings’ company.

According to Tucker, Pepé is an affectionate feline who has a soft spot for everyone and everything. Tucker even mentioned that Pepé welcomed his new siblings with great enthusiasm, which is quite rare for a rescue cat. However, Daspin and Tucker are still uncertain about Pepé’s breed. Although the shelter labeled him as a sphynx mix, there are speculations that he could be a Donskoy or Peterbald mix.
