Story
Cashmere is unreal - SPECTACULAR young Chinchilla momma - EMERGENCY DOHA CAT EMERGENCY TRANSPORT to save the lives of cats abandoned due to the restarted war in Iran! Owners abandoning pets on the streets as they flee!! All the way from Doha Qatar, we have partnered with foster only rescue (meaning the cats are all in fosters until adopted - not still outside or in cages in a shelter). All healthy gorgeous and most of all SWEETEST EVER. Please open your heart to their plight! Note - pics and videos are the best we can do right now due to the circumstances and the incredible drama going on in Qatar due to air raids etc... These cats might be shyer than normal coming in from afar and we have had them shaved to make them easier to start fresh coats once safe in the USA. They are ALL great with people and seem fine with other cats. Many have not been tested with dogs to not stress them out but should be fine. Higher donation applies as it is very expensive for us to do medical and transport under these scary circumstances. We pray the flight takes off THIS Sunday if air space remains safe from missile attack. Here is a little about them: Mochi and Nala - this bonded pair of 6m Mochi (male Scottish fold) and his blind 4m old best friend Nala (female persian brit shorthair cross) are pure joy not just gorgeous. They are SPECTACULAR - sweet as sugar and super models all in one. Super rare for us to see young folds and exotics, but these two make u just so happy the minute u meet them that they equal any of our top cats here in the USA. Nala is blind (might see some shapes) but 100% perfect - no issues otherwise. BONDED so they cannot be separated. Alexander - 1 yr old Siamese dream - this blue eyed big kitten is all about fun games n' snuggles. He is still just a kitten, happy go lucky and oh soooo sweet. Gets along great with everyone and even loves being the center of attention. Great biscuit maker and non stop snuggles and head boops. He tested positive for FIV (NOT A HEALTH issues like FIP or FELV) but can live safely with other cats and has no medical issues from it. Prob born with it. Could go negative. Shiro and Kumo - these absolutely STUNNING Turkish Angora Himalayan 2 yr old boys are the epitome of both rare and exotic AND sweetness! They are super models and super lovers. We can't get enough of their gorgeous faces and amazing cuddles. So awesome! Have amazing eyes too! NOT bonded. Amber - this 1-2 yr old British Shorthair is just spectacular in every way. She is gentle & playful, sweet & calm. She's shy with new people at first (typical of the breed) but very friendly & loving once introduced. She is good with kids , other cats & people. Loves treats too! Way more gorgeous than any photo! Cashmere - this 1-3 yr old rare smoke long haired Scottish Fold/Persian was abandoned when owners fled due to the war with her two adorable babies (now adopted). She is incredible. Photos do not do her justice. Gorgeous sweet funny goofy and has a great personality overall - just a spectacular and loving girl waiting for u! These kitties were all fostered in a wonderful homes after they were abandoned in Qatar! They are incredibly affectionate, super snuggly, and simply the most purrfect kitties! A few should be solo cats (read bios) but most great with everyone and ALL great with people ADOPTERS UNDER THE AGE OF 23 MUST HAVE A PARENT OR GUARDIAN APPLY We do NOT test for hypoallergenic qualities or exact breeds as we are a rescue so also please do not ask! If you are allergic, then prepare for 20 yrs of an allergy if the cat you adopt causes issues... If you want to apply - please go to https://rnrpets.org/cat-application/ to be approved. If you have additional questions please contact us via email at rocknrescue1@gmail.com. They are all fully vetted spayed neutered per age and vaccinated tested FIV FELV neg had preventatives and microchipped. And ready for love! They are also available to adopters from out of state in the Northeast and is located here in Bedford Hills NY! Long distance adopters must pick up here sorry no shipping or delivering!

Story
Meet Beckett: Your Perfect Companion Awaits Looking for the perfect cat? Look no further — Beckett is here, and he's everything you've been dreaming of. This stunning white gentleman will capture your heart the moment you meet him. With one mesmerizing blue eye and one enchanting green eye, Beckett is as unique as he is handsome. But his beauty is just the beginning. Beckett is a food enthusiast who approaches mealtime with pure joy, and watching him chase his beloved catnip mouse is guaranteed entertainment. His playful spirit and affectionate nature make every day brighter. A true social butterfly, Beckett gets along wonderfully with other cats. He's fully vetted, has age appropriate vaccinations, parasite treated, and microchipped for his safety and your peace of mind. Ideal Home: Beckett would thrive best in a home with children aged 13 and older, and in a dog-free environment where he can be the star of the show. If you're ready to welcome perfection into your life, Beckett is ready to meet you. This special boy is waiting to become your new best friend. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PLEASE READ: 1) I do home visits for all the cats/kittens for adoption. I am not currently able to adopt to anyone living more than 1 hour outside of Rochester, NY. 2) I require a vet reference and will contact them. 3) Most of the cats in my care come from the streets and have had a bad start in life. They usually would do best in a home with older children and NO dogs. 4) All the cats/kittens that are up for adoption will be spayed/neutered, have age appropriate vaccinations, combo tested and treated for fleas and worms. 5) An approved application is necessary prior to a meet and greet,

Story
Lucy is our lil' baby lover! Our fosters are have so many kittens are now big enough to be adopted. They are anywhere from 8 to 12 wks old so almost ALL are TOO SMALL TO GO as SOLO pets to a home UNLESS u already have a young cat in your home - so have to be paired up. They are absolutely the sweetest and simply some of the cutest and prettiest kitties ever! Quinton, Lucy and Ranger and their bff Julep - these tiny orphan 8-12 wk olds were raised together as siblings so they are so happy and joyful to be around EVERYONE they meet as they got so much love early on. Each has a tall tale (Ranger dropped out of a car engine!) but all don't remember their past as they only want to give u love. Too small to be solo cats. Tinkerbell and Pearl (bffs) and their buddies Pebbles Patty Penelope and bro Pablo - these GORGEOUS 8-10 wk old tots are both super models and super duper friendly - all raised since birth in a phenomenal foster, they know no fear of anything - just happiness. Great with cats dogs kids - too small to be solo cats. Natalie Nova Nori - triplets have never been cuter than these Bengal Aby baby girls. they purr SOOO loud u can hear them from across a room. So happy friendly and goofy. Cuddlers and smoochers too! too small to be solo cats Gary George and Gina and their bff Ophelia - such an amazing group of fosters that shine in ALL situations - super friendly and super gorgeous - they really adore playing and cuddling equally - just awesome in every way. too small to be solo cats. These babies were all fostered in a wonderful home after they were abandoned in NY/KY at a high kill shelter and then cared for by our incredible NY and KY foster teams! They are all friendly and fun and great for any family - they seem fine with kids and should be fine with other gentle cats and with a gentle dog. They are incredibly affectionate, super snuggly, and simply the most purrfect kitties! All kittens no matter what age, do not grow up with the best behaviors without another cat to help them esp during their tween months. ADOPTERS UNDER THE AGE OF 23 MUST HAVE A PARENT OR GUARDIAN APPLY We do NOT test for hypoallergenic qualities or exact breeds as we are a rescue so also please do not ask! If you are allergic, then prepare for 20 yrs of an allergy if the cat you adopt causes issues... If you want to apply - please go to https://rnrpets.org/cat-application/ to be approved.
