Hello, my name is Rocco! I am a kitten with quite the backstory who is looking for the purrfect home to make my happily ever after and will care for me all the rest of my days! Despite having a medically enlarged heart, I am so sweet and the second you meet me and hear me purr, you’re going to want to take me home with you!
In May of 2025, on the first 80 degree day in Frankenmuth, somebody dumped my mommy, me and my 5 brothers outside Pet Angel. Our mommy cat was left inside a teeny, tiny cage and next to the cage, they left a rubber maid tote fully closed with me and my 5 brothers inside of it. We were just 6-week old, and the tote didn’t even have air holes in it!!! When the volunteers showed up for the evening shift, they found us, and quickly brought us inside to safety. Pet Angel named our mommy Sesame, and me and my brothers were all named after Sesame Street Characters (I’m Rocco, but my brothers names are Grover, Elmo, Bert, Ernie & Snuffy!) We went off to foster care, where we were safe and sound while our mommy weaned raised and weaned us, and we came back to Pet Angel when we were big enough to be without 24 hour care.
I am a purr bucket! The second somebody even looks at me, I start purring! I am playful, but I don’t climb on peoples backs and chew on human’s hair like some of my brothers do! Instead, I like to play with cat toys like springs, ping pong balls, hide in the cat tunnels and I love a toy on a stick! I love when people wear hoodies with strings, because I love to play with them! I love to be held, and will put my paws right on your shoulder and stay there for far longer than you want to hold me! I like to lay down in cat beds, and enjoy snuggling with my brothers and roommates, but I also like to wrestle them when they’re in the mood! I am outgoing, adventurous, affectionate and playful, but I’m not as rambunctious as some of my brothers are. I’m the purrfect balance between playful and active and snuggly and mellow!
I do have a small health condition, and I am hoping that this does not scare away any potential owners, but helps me find the best family who will give me all the care I may need in my life. In the end of July 2025, one of my brothers, Snuffy, suddenly passed away. One day he was sick, so Pet Angel took him immediately into the vet, and the next day he was gone. It happened so fast, and all of the staff and volunteers at Pet Angel were absolutely devastated. At first, The vet thought Snuffy’s s

More about this rescue
When two litters of kittens became cages of cats in the Engel Family's garage, Jim and Nancy had a choice to make: find homes for the cats they had and call it good, or open a rescue. That was the day Pet Angel was born! Pet Angel specializes in finding homes for bonded pairs, shy, scared & cats who require extra needs. These are the cats that are often looked over at other rescues, but here, they are they priority!
