About Rocky

Rocky is part of a trio of cats needing urgent rehoming after their owner faced sudden life changes, leaving these companions without a place to call home. Found as a kitten on the family's lot, Rocky has grown into the clear talker of the group, filling the house with his signature cat chatter. He’s never liked the outdoors and you'll always find him seeking a spot indoors where he feels safe, especially during storms, which spook him into hiding. Rocky can be skittish with unfamiliar faces but, once settled, reveals a playful, frisky side. He’s not a lap cat but does enjoy affection on his own terms. Rocky is neutered, fully house trained, and will have his vaccinations updated prior to adoption. He gets along well with other cats and could either be adopted alone or with his companions, if the right match comes along. Rocky is in Aledo, TX and deserves to land safely on his feet.
