My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rocky is a tabby male that’s about 9 months old who was rescued from a backyard during a TNR project.

He's a very playful and curious kitty, who loves to run around! He especially likes to play chase, if other kitties are involved, and likes to entice them to chase him. Though he’s on the large side, he’s very deferential toward other kitties and quite the gentleman in general. He may seen standoffish until he gets comfortable with you, but once he does, he’s a real sweetheart. He loves to stretch out so you can stroke his side and tummy, but if you pet his tummy when he’s on his back, he might kick you a little. He also will sit in your lap, though you might have to pick him up and put him there before he gets to know you and jumps there himself. He does not yet understand it when you hold his face and kiss his forehead, but we think he’ll get there. 😊 We think Rocky would be good with kids, too.

Rocky would likely be fine solo, as long as someone will play with him and give him lots of love and treats. As mentioned, he’d be great with other cats or kittens, too. He is also not a finicky eater and is not aggressive about his food with others.
He's FIV and FeLV negative, neutered, and up to date on shots. Come meet Rocky at our Adoption Center in Petco Union Square!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All cats and kittens are vaccinated and tested for FELV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and if old enough, are neutered or spayed.
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We ask you to sign the KittyKind Adoption Agreement.
We will always take a cat back FOR ANY REASON. We will also work with you to place her in another good home if (after a period of adjustment) the adoption doesn't work out.
We do ask for a $125 adoption fee to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. For certain purebred cats (Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, etc.), we request a $150 - $300 adoption fee.

More about this rescue

KittyKind is a New York City not-for-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group. All of us at KittyKind have opened our hearts and homes — and emptied our pockets — to save thousands of cats from neglect or abuse. Every cat we rescue is given food, shelter, medical care, a safe place to lay his or her head and most importantly of all, a reason to purr. We do not believe in rescuing a cat or kitten only to euthanize it if it has a broken leg or needs extended nursing care. We never give up if there is a chance of saving them. We take responsibility for each and every life we save and if a cat or kitten is unadoptable, they have a home with us for life.
We believe that animals are not property to be discarded, disposed of, or killed just for the crime of being homeless or unwanted. We believe that people should be friends, caretakers and protectors of animals. We believe that we must take responsibility for the life of every animal we rescue who through no fault of their own, is abandoned, sick, disabled, old or unable to care for themselves. We are dedicated to relieving their suffering, providing food, shelter, medical care and comfort until we can place them in a safe and loving home.
