About Gustave & Emma

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Gustave & Emma are two special kittens with eyelid agenesis, a genetic condition where their eyelids grew incorrectly, sometimes causing discomfort. Thanks to a caring partnership with Rocket Cat Rescue, they now receive the support they need and offer plenty of affection in return. These "boneless" fluffballs happily flop onto laps for pets, love to be carried, and will nap in your arms at night. Despite their partial vision, they adapt beautifully—sometimes tumbling off counters, but always bouncing back as normal, happy kittens. Gus charms with his chatter, while Emma investigates the world with playful curiosity. Both thrive around a calm Malamute mix and show perfect manners with other cats. Their care is supported by a grant at UC Davis for the next 12-18 months, and the rescue is committed to providing help with any future medical needs. The foster home is specially equipped to handle these remarkable cats, and you’ll receive clear information and guidance from an experienced team. With all initial vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip, and a fun welcome home pack included, Gustave & Emma are ready for a loving, understanding family willing to cheer on their adventures. Born under the sign of Aries, these kittens are true explorers with big hearts—Aries cats are known for their courage and playful spirits! Make their next chapter their best one yet.
