My personality

My story

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

🎤 Meet Rocco — An Only Child with Main Character Energy 🎤

Rocco is a 5.5-year-old professional attention seeker who is very clear about one thing: he must be your one and only. Other cats stress him out, steal his spotlight, and generally ruin his vibe — and Rocco is simply not here for that. Solo homes only, please.

He may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he decides you’re acceptable… congratulations. You now have a permanent lap cat, snuggle bug, and emotional support shadow. Rocco is extremely chatty and will narrate his day, his feelings, and your lack of attention if he feels even slightly ignored. Expect reminder taps if you forget to pet him.

Rocco has some elite-level quirks. He kneads heads like dough, suckles on his favorite humans, and sometimes gives enthusiastic love bites when his affection meter overloads. Because his love is… intense, he’s best suited for adults or kids 12+ who understand that this is passion, not aggression.

If you want a cat who thinks he’s your soulmate, your boss, and the star of the household — all rolled into one furry package — Rocco is ready to move in and take over your lap (and your heart). 🐾😂

Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home.

Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue! If this post is still up, we are still accepting applications for this cat(s)/kitten(s).
