Story
Meet handsome Darius, a 7-year-old feline urgently needing a foster or foster-to-adopt home. Since his rescue almost a year ago, he’s been residing in a boarding facility, patiently awaiting a forever home. Darius is a sweet and playful companion. He delights in interactive play with volunteers, eagerly chasing wand toys and darting through tunnels. He is equally content to entertain himself with kick toys and catnip. He appreciates affection and can be picked up but is not needy. He prefers interactions on his terms. His litterbox habits are top-notch. Unfortunately, Darius is very stressed in the presence of other cats. The constant exposure to feline sights, sounds, and scents in his boarding environment is taking its toll, leading to occasional spicy behavior For Darius to thrive, he needs a quiet, cat-savvy home without pets or young children. Are you the compassionate cat lover willing to step forward to provide Darius with the loving foster or forever home he deserves? If you believe you have the right environment for Darius or would like to learn more about fostering or adopting him, please fill out the foster or adoption application on our website (www.fofct.org). Your kindness could make a world of difference in Darius' life.

Story
Levi was brought to us as a physically abused and painfully thin 2-year-old yet has admirably emerged as one remarkably resilient, fun-loving, affectionate, and healthy boy who is ready to love and be loved! Despite everything he's been through, Levi relishes human interaction – from gentle pets to spirited playtime, he adores it all. However, when it comes to other cats, Levi would prefer to be without any furry competition. And like so many male cats we've come to know and love through rescue, he's tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). However, with the same devotion and care you'd shower on any beloved feline, Levi's expected lifespan is just as bright as any other cat's. For information on FIV, visit FIV FAQ. Let's give this incredible survivor the loving home he's been waiting for! The first step is to submit our online adoption application at https://www.fofct.org/adoption-application. ✨ With an approved application, we can arrange for you to meet Levi. Applicants must reside within 45 miles of Stamford, CT. (You can read more of Levi's story on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/donate/3161415940671048/)

Story
Now and then, we meet a truly remarkable cat. Juniper is one of them. Our volunteer team is crazy about this joyful 6-month-old girl. She loves to play, purr, knead, and hang out with people. Her joy is contagious. A kind person rescued Juniper from a horrible situation that probably included animal abuse. She bounced back quickly and will make a fabulous family companion. Juniper tested positive for Feline Leukemia with a regressive infection. PLEASE KEEP READING! We know so much more about this virus now. Cats with a regressive infection have a low risk of developing FeLV-related diseases. The regressive phase of FeLV infection is temporary for most cats, and they can become free of the virus within a few years. So for Juniper, the long-term outlook is good. Feline leukemia is a cat-only disease, so Juniper can live in a home with dogs and rabbits, or just with her favorite species - you! Please ask us if you have questions about FeLV. Fill out an adoption application (https://www.fofct.org/adoption-app) and come and meet this joyful girl. Thanks to the generosity of a caring volunteer, Juni's adoption fee is covered, making it even easier to bring this beautiful soul into your life. Please note applicants MUST reside within 45 miles of Stamford, CT, and have reliable transportation. Some cats may be restricted to a smaller radius on a case-by-case basis.

Story
Meet Tiger Lily, a resilient feline with a story to tell. Tiger Lily was one of four kittens born outdoors in 2019 that we rescued. Her journey hasn't been easy, but she's ready for the next step. 😿As a kitten, Tiger Lily found it hard to trust humans. However, she made great strides with patience and dedication, and we trusted a family to adopt her and continue her socialization. Unfortunately, after two years with an adoptive family, Tiger Lily was returned to us, her trust shattered, and her progress undone. 🐈Despite this setback, we remain committed to Tiger Lily's well-being. Over the past two years, she formed a deep bond with one of our volunteers and has also found comfort in the presence of a few others. While she enjoys affection and snuggles from these trusted individuals, she resides in a boarding cage with limited opportunities for exploration outside of her confinement. 🏠What Tiger Lily needs now is a very special, experienced cat person who can offer her the patience, understanding, and love she deserves. We envision a foster-to-adopt arrangement to ensure stability and minimize further disruptions to her life. Tiger Lily is not aggressive; rather, she retreats when afraid. This 4.5-year-old beauty is more at ease with women than men, and she would benefit from the companionship of a gentle feline friend in her new home. 🧡We invite you to meet her. Are you the compassionate soul willing to open your heart to Tiger Lily and provide her with the safe and nurturing environment she craves? Fill out an application to take the first step toward making a difference in Tiger Lily's life: https://www.fofct.org/adoption-application. Applicants must reside within 45 miles of Stamford.

Story
Meet Tazzie, a vivacious, almost 2-year-old girl with a resilient spirit and a zest for life. She was rescued as an older kitten from an abusive situation involving a child. She was then adopted but returned because she did not get along with the other cat in the home. Despite a rough start in life, she exudes boundless energy and joy. Tazzie remains hopeful in finding her forever home where she can truly thrive. She possesses remarkable athleticism, showcasing her talents as an aerialist during playtime with impressive leaps, flips, and balancing acts. Volunteers who interact with her daily describe her as an absolute entertainer, suggesting she might even need a talent agent for her captivating performances. Tazzie also has a tender side. She will give kisses, rub up against you purring, and accept gentle pets. However, she is independent and will let you know when she's ready for her next adventure. Tazzie is seeking a cat-savvy family who can appreciate her unique personality and give her the love and understanding she deserves. Given her tumultuous past,Given her tumultuous past, Tazzie would be happiest in an environment without other cats or young children and with patient adopters who will give her time to adjust to another major change. She lived harmoniously with a dog in a foster home. If you can provide Tazzie with the loving and nurturing home she deserves, we invite you to fill out our online adoption application at https://www.fofct.org/adoption-application. Your compassion can make all the difference in her life. Please note that potential adopters must reside within a 45-mile radius of Stamford, CT.

Story
Persimmon is approximately 1-year-old of April 2023 whose shiny coal-black coat really stands out in a crowd!  He is a sweet-tempered and sensitive type who was scared of his new surroundings at first but within the span of 2-3 weeks, he was all over the house and coming around his foster mom for attention and scratches by his tail.  Lately, he has with the cold weather he has become quite the snuggle bug wanting to lay on his person's lap with his favorite foster sister almost every time she sits down.  He hasn’t been around dogs very much but I believe with a proper introduction of a friendly dog and lots of patience, it should not be a problem.  In addition, he gets along well with other cats both young and adults.  He would certainly enjoy a similar-aged or friendly adult cat to tussle with as he enjoys spirited playtime with his foster siblings, but he also plays independently quite well.  He comes to you litter box trained, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, and with all age-appropriate vaccinations so contact Rock City Rescue to adopt this dashing young man!August 20, 2024, 12:05 am

Story
Bruno is a handsome and approximately 1-year-old (as of April 2023) cat that we all certainly need to talk about!   Not only does he have stunning eyes, a shiny coal-black coat with striking tabby markings underneath.  His body type is very slim and exotic akin to a Siamese.  He is a sweet-tempered soul with a playful personality and loves mealtimes, treats, playing hard, and sleeping on soft blankets or the cat tree.  He is a gentle soul who plays well with other kittens and gets along with adult cats in that he does not tend to pester them.  This boy plays independently quite well, but I think he would certainly enjoy a younger or active adult cat to tussle with if not a cat/kitten around his age. He can be a little shy with strangers and mostly gives his affection to people he trusts.  I believe he will blossom in an environment that will be patient with him.  He comes to you litter box trained, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations so contact Rock City Rescue to adopt this unique boy.August 20, 2024, 12:05 am

Luisa is an approximately 1-year-old (as of April 2023) cat who was rescued with her three litter mates snugly tucked in behind a flower box in an unsuspecting family's backyard.  She is short and stout with stunning tabby markings and some gorgeous big eyes!  She hasn’t been around dogs thus far in her life but I don’t think it would be an issue for her.  Not one not to pester a cat that doesn’t want to be bothered, but she adores her adult foster brother and is never far out of his shadow. She likes to be part of the action laying near her people and sleeping on the bed with them most nights but prefers pets on her terms.   I'm sure she would great companion for a lonely singular cat or a person who doesn’t try to push her too much with cuddling.  She comes to you litter box trained, spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, and with all age-appropriate vaccinations so contact Rock City Rescue to adopt this gorgeous girl. Email the cat's name and phone number to rockcityrescue@gmail.com.August 20, 2024, 12:05 am

Hi, I’m Thorfinn, a ten-month-old male kitten (as of April 2023, but 5 mos when my pics were taken). I’m an equally snuggly and playful kitty, looking for my forever home. I love being active - whether that’s playtime with my foster kitty siblings (like my twin Sasappis) or my toys. I love toys of all kinds and can’t wait to show off my chasing and pouncing skills. After a hard day of play, there’s nothing I want more than to cuddle up with my people on the couch or in bed. I do well around other cats and dogs and am very people-oriented and social, making friends instantly. I’ll come to your home litter box trained, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, and with all age-appropriate vaccinations. If I sound like the purrfect addition to your home, email rockcityrescue@gmail.com with your name and phone number.August 20, 2024, 12:05 am
