A little kitten covered in soot was spotted at a construction site. She was brought to safety and got cleaned up. Pepper seems to know that she is in good hands now. Whenever there is a lap available within reach, she'd climb on it and snuggle with her human.

"This is Pepper. We found her in a construction zone... She was covered in dirt and cement residue. We honestly thought she was a grey/white striped cat when we first found her only to discover after her flea bath that she was pure white. And her ears were all pink and peeling from sunburn," said Pepper's rescuer via reddit.

Pepper has some seriously big ears that command attention. "I kind of thought she was just a domestic shorthair but her ears are really big and her face is much narrower than most DSH cats that I've seen." Maybe someday she will grow into them.

Pepper perks up her big ears and is happy to be safe!

If you leave her on the floor, she will climb up your leg and snuggle like this.
