About Rocko

Meet Rocko, an incredible little survivor looking for his forever home! This joyful boy found himself roaming the streets of Crown Heights with a badly injured tail, prompting kind neighbors to take action. Luckily, Rocko was rescued and, although he underwent a tail amputation due to the injury, he has bounced back with remarkable resilience. His tail now measures only a couple of inches, giving him the charming look of a Manx cat, but it doesn't slow him down one bit. Rocko is full of energy and loves playtime, whether it’s with wand toys or chasing after anything you toss his way. He gets a kick out of puzzle feeders and can even keep an eye on sports games from the couch! After burning off some steam, Rocko enjoys curling up next to you for a cozy nap. While he currently lives alone, he might thrive with another playful cat or a cat-friendly dog in a home that appreciates his lively spirit. At just a year old, Rocko is fully vetted—neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, FIV and FeLV negative, and treated for parasites and fleas.
