About Rocket

Rocket may appear to be just another brown tabby kitten, but he’s anything but ordinary. This little guy is a delightful companion who quickly captures the hearts of everyone he meets. He arrived with his sister, Tutu, after being rescued by a dog rescue that realized they were out of their depth with kittens. After some nurturing in foster care, Rocket is now ready for forever home. Incredibly social, Rocket gets along wonderfully with kittens from various litters. Playing is his favorite pastime, especially when it involves stealing attention from shoes rather than pricey toys. When he’s not running around, you’ll find him as a purr machine, radiating a lovable vibe that draws people in. Everyone at the shelter is smitten with him, and visitors often feel the same. If you're seeking an adorable kitten without flashy antics, consider Rocket. Sometimes the typical brown tabby is the one you can't stop dreaming about. To meet Rocket, visit him at Jefferson Feed (corner of Jefferson Hwy. and Central Ave.). It’s best to come earlier in the day, as the last hour is reserved for medication and care routines. His adoption fee is $200, or you can adopt him with a friend for $350. All kittens are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, FeLV/FIV/HW tested, and microchipped. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
