About Rocket

Rocket brings a whirlwind of playful spirit to any home. True to his name, he thrives on action, bolting after toys, leaping from perch to perch, and keeping things lively. Rocket is a male Russian Blue around 1½ years old, with a soft gray coat and an endless supply of purrs. He’s highly affectionate—sometimes so excited by attention that he gets a little nippy. While he’s lived peacefully with one other cat, he tends to play rough, so supervision or a confident feline companion might be best. Rocket landed at Cat Posse Rescue after a bumpy journey—he was bounced from home to home due to circumstances beyond his control, making him crave stability now more than ever. He’s healthy, neutered, vaccinated, and has tested negative for Feline Leukemia and FIV. Rocket does require a urinary diet, meaning any dry food must be urinary-specific, though he enjoys standard wet food without issue. If you’re looking for an active, loving cat who’s ready to settle into his forever routine, Rocket is more than ready to meet you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
