Rocky is a young, neutered male domestic short hair with a short, mostly black coat highlighted by faint gray stripes. He's house trained, vaccinated, and lives in Marengo, IL. Rocky is known to be friendly with other cats, dogs, and children, and would do best in a calm home.

About Rocky

Rocky is a gentle soul with a sweet spot for his friend Pebbles. Ideally, they would be adopted together, but Rocky can win hearts on his own too. His coat has a mysterious look—mainly black with subtle gray stripes, and it's hard to know if he’ll stay dark and striped or become a solid black cat. Rocky’s fur is short and plush, adding to his handsome appearance. At first, Rocky might keep to himself, but once he feels comfortable, he shows his affectionate side and becomes quite the love bug. He gets along with other well-behaved pets and would settle best in a calmer household rather than one bustling with activity. Once mistaken for feral and ear-tipped, he’s since proven he just needed a bit of patience. You can meet Rocky during business hours at the Pet Vet in Huntley, Illinois. Your new best friend is just one click away.
