It was supposed to be a quiet, relaxing evening in late October 2022. Koky's husband suggested they go out for dinner, that she take a break after another busy and stressful week of overseeing the Haven, rescuing cats, finding adopters for cats, etc., etc.
Returning to their car after dinner, Koky heard a little meow and had no choice but to follow it. She came across a very young kitten who was desperately trying to find his mother, without success. After trying to find the mother cat, Koky took this little boy home.
The precious little kitten named Rocky has grown into a sweet and friendly 2 year old cat. As one of Koky's foster babies, he has regular contact with cats and kittens and gets along well with them. He also loves people and follows Koky from room to room. As you would expect for a boy his age, Rocky is active and loves to play. We expect him to fit in well in most homes.
Profile update December 2024:
Rocky probably got a blood clot a few months ago. After he recovered from that his behavior was different. He started meowing really loudly. And when he walks around he holds his head a little to the right. He still does this.
Rocky is still a very affectionate boy. The video below shows what he is like now.
Rocky is house trained, neutered, microchipped and has had his vaccinations, including rabies.
He can travel to the US, Canada, Great Britain and Europe. If he does, he will fly with his original blood test certificate from the rabies laboratory and his vaccination record.
Rocky must be an indoor cat, or if he is allowed outside, in a completely cat-proof garden (with the special fence) or a cat run. He has lived most of his life in complete safety and we want to ensure that this level of safety is maintained. He will not understand that vehicles pose an immediate danger.
We believe that cats can live happy and fulfilled lives as indoor kittens as long as they get the right amount of play, stimulation, one-on-one time, etc. We can give you advice and resources to make your home more “cat-friendly” if you do not immediately have access to a litter box or a completely cat-safe outdoor area.
All offers for adoption are subject to a successful home check (done via video call) and an adoption fee. See What is the adoption procedure at SHE?
If you'd like more information about our adoption process – or if you're ready to give this boy a home, please feel free to send a message. We will do our best to contact you within 24 hours.
We also know from experience that the more stories and messages shared, the greater the chance that the cat will find a forever home.
May we ask for your help in informing people about Rocky and our organization? There are rescue organizations that do not want to adopt from people who live in an apartment/condo and/or insist on free-roaming; we are quite the opposite.
Please help us find a home for this boy and the others we care for!
