About Rocky

Meet Rocky! This lovable guy found himself in a tough spot after his owner passed away. Surrendered with his sister, Rocky was understandably scared and refused food or water until our staff stepped in to give him the care he needed. He had a serious health scare with urinary crystals that required emergency surgery, and now he needs to stick to a strict urinary care diet for life. Rocky has a quirky personality and knows how to keep himself entertained. While he isn't fond of many toys and prefers not to be held too much, he has his moments where he loves to cuddle on his own terms. True to his feline nature, he's curious and enjoys exploring things he shouldn't. Whether he's lounging on the couch or being his typical cat self, Rocky is ready to bring some humor and companionship to a loving home. Finding the right match for Rocky has been a challenge due to his dietary needs, which not everyone is prepared to manage. He deserves a caring and understanding home that will provide the support he requires. Ready to make a difference for Rocky? This kind-hearted cat needs you.
