About Rocky Road

Rocky Road is a striking, curly long-haired gray kitten born on November 2nd, 2025—making him a Scorpio, if you follow star signs. Alongside his siblings, he started life scared after entering Anchorage Animal Control, but ACAT stepped in, and since then he’s been quietly settling in. Rocky Road is the shyest of his litter, hanging back when new people arrive, but he finds comfort in gentle handling and the soothing rhythm of a brush. Once he feels secure, he’ll play, especially if you tempt him with a feather or string toy. Food is a quick way to his heart. He’s up to date on all his first-year vaccinations, neutered, dewormed, and has mastered the litter box. Rocky Road’s ideal home would be one that can nurture him and slowly build his confidence. He would especially love to go home with a sibling like Chili Pepper or Yin—there’s a discount for adopting a pair. No adoption fee worries here: it’s covered for the right match.
