Story
Sweetheart is a beautiful 1-year-old kitty. She was found as a stray living in our tree. She was weak so we nursed her back to health slowly over a period of months and got all her needs taken care of, as well as introduced her to indoor life! She loves to cuddle on the couch, but does not prefer to be held too much. If you lay on the bed she will love to cuddle up close to your face with a loud purrrr. She can get her nails trimmed fine and can handle the harness well for walks or other purposes. She is the sweetest cat to humans, hence her name, but she has had some difficulty getting used to multiple cats, particularly our female kitties. She was quick to get along with our male cat (orange male pictured above, she will cuddle him), but has tension and stress with the others. Sweetheart is a beautiful cat that must be the designated single-cat or introduced carefully to one other kitty! Sweetheart will love you and be your best friend forever if you play mouse toy with her

Story
Theo came to me starving.at 5 weeks old while I ate at a taco truck. He was sick and hungry and had all types of health issues. I got him nice and healthy but the longer I have him I feel like the feral in him has come out he is very skittish and will need a special person that is willing and has the time to take to earn his trust.

Story
LuLu is a lovely 7-month old torbie kitten. She came into the shelter with her siblings after likely being born to a feral mom, and they were all battling illness when rescued. LuLu’s healthy now, but her tough start has made her wary of people. Her foster family has worked patiently with her, and while she isn’t comfortable with human affection yet, she absolutely enjoys the company of other cats—both playful kittens and calm adults.  LuLu would do well in a home that already has a confident, friendly cat who could be her companion. She could also thrive in a safe indoor-workspace or warehouse-type setting where she has room to be independent, while still having a reliable food source and shelter. Because she has spent her entire life in foster care, she’s not really suited to a traditional outdoor barn-cat lifestyle. Lulu is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Contact info@rockwallpets.com if you’d like to learn more about LuLu and whether she might be the right fit for your home or facility.   December 8, 2025, 2:49 pm

Story
Meet Puck &#194&#150 A Handsome Boy Looking for a Quiet, Patient Home Hello, my name is Puck! I am an 8-year-old male Domestic Short Hair who weighs approximately 13 lbs. My previous owners could no longer care for me, so I was surrendered to Rockwall Adoptions in hopes of finding my forever home. I'm a sweet boy, but I'm also a bit reserved and need time to adjust to new environments and people. I'll do best in a calm, quiet home with someone who understands that I may need a little patience as I settle in. Due to my temperament, I am not recommended for homes with children under the age of 13 and I will need to be the only pet in the home. My adoption fee is $50. I am neutered, microchipped, current on my rabies and FVRCP vaccine, and Fiv/Felv negative. If you're interested in making me part of your family, please submit an adoption application at https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ . Once your application is received, RAC staff will schedule meet and greets with approved adopters.  All animals, unless otherwise noted in their description, are at 1825 Airport Rd. in Rockwall, TX. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 9 am to 6 pm and Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm. For questions, please call 972-771-7750 ext. 2 or email info@RockwallAdoptions.com. IMPORTANT NOTICE: All shelter animals are required by Texas state law to be spayed/neutered. RAC completes this procedure at the age of 12 weeks. If you are adopting a pet under the age of 12 weeks or an animal that has not yet been spayed or neutered, you will be required to return the pet to our facility on the agreed upon date set at the time of adoption. This policy is non-negotiable and violation of this health code is a criminal offense. November 5, 2025, 3:27 pm

Story
Meet Samuel Samuel is an approximately 8-week-old male domestic shorthair kitten who came to Rockwall Adoption Center after his previous family was no longer able to care for him. Thankfully, a wonderful foster stepped in, and Samuel is currently thriving in a foster home while he waits for his forever family. Samuel is a friendly, playful, and affectionate kitten who enjoys attention and is ready to bring lots of love into his future home. Samuel's adoption fee is $75 and includes his neuter, microchip, rabies vaccination, first FVRCP vaccination, and first deworming. Samuel is required to return to Rockwall Adoption Center on January 7, 2026 for his neuter and rabies vaccination. This appointment is non-negotiable, and adopters must plan accordingly. Because Samuel is currently in a foster home, an approved online adoption application is required prior to scheduling a meet-and-greet or adoption. Meet-and-greets will be scheduled with approved applicants in the order applications are received. If you are interested in making Samuel a part of your family, please submit an online adoption application at https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ Samuel is ready to grow up in a loving home and is hoping to meet his forever family soon.  All animals, unless otherwise noted in their description, are at 1825 Airport Rd. in Rockwall, TX. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 9 am to 6 pm and Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm. For questions, please call 972-771-7750 ext. 2 or email info@RockwallAdoptions.com. IMPORTANT NOTICE: All shelter animals are required by Texas state law to be spayed/neutered. RAC completes this procedure at the age of 12 weeks.

My neighbor was going to leave her behind so I took her and her sister in. I got them spayed and vaccinated and flea and tick treatment. She is 6 months old. She likes to play and cuddle. She is good with other cats and probably kids. She has never been around dogs. She is sweet and lovable I just don't have the room for them and I work 6 days a week.
