Story
Rosie is a petite black tuxedo female who is very shy but sweet. She does enjoy being pet (especially butt scratches) and will sometimes snuggle up for naps with her favorite human. When the other cats are playing, she usually sits back to watch everything going on but does like to play with crinkle balls and springs. She would do best in a quiet home as she’s still quite skittish and will take time to adjust to a new home. She can be adopted with her sister Holly and would definitely do well in a home with other cats to show her the ropes. They are just under 6 months old.

Story
Holly is a super soft grey female with a white neck and paws. She’s an active kitten and likes to know what’s going on in the house but also enjoys quiet naps. She’s a bit skittish but is okay with being gently pet. She is independent but does love to play/wrestle with other young cats. She really needs another cat in the home with her to make her feel comfortable. She can be adopted with her sister, the black tuxedo, Rosie. There will definitely be an adjustment period in any new home for these girls.

Story
Chip aka Chipwich was a lonely stray kitten we pulled from the Newark Shelter. He is the same age as our Sundae kittens so he has been raised with them as their brother. He is a super sweet cat, loves attention and has a huge purr. He also LOVES to play! He is always ready to run and play. He needs to be adopted with Creamsicle or Rocky Road, OR into a home with a young playful cat. Lots of personality with Chip, he will keep you entertained all day long!

Story
Rocky Road aka Rockie aka Roxie was found in a box with her siblings as tiny kittens. She lives in a foster home with Chip and the Threes Company kittens. She seems to be passive and get along with all of them. She is friendly with people and loves to occasionally cuddle and "nurse" on her foster mom's hair. She loves to play and does well entertaining herself, she has one specific mouse toy she will play with daily, but really loves when you play string toys with her. She loves to watch the birds at the bird feeder as well. She is not a fan of being manhandled for nail trimmings or medicines, you'll need a second person, but she is very quick to forgive you. She would probably do best paired with Chip or Jack if you're looking for a pair.

Story
Adopt or foster Frida! This is Mama Mia's kitten and sister to Twisty. She was returned to us at absolutely no fault of her own, she's your typical friendly playful kitten, the adopters were just not a good fit. As we said in our last post, we ALWAYS take back our cats and kittens for ANY reason - it's in our adoption contract! We want the best fit for all of our cats and for you. Sometimes unfortunately but rarely cats come back to us after a few months of trial (we also guide our adopters with any issues they may have). She is really struggling with the transition to living at our vet though, she is very unhappy and stressed, so we would love to get her a forever home or foster home. We are adding calming supplements to her food but they only help so much in a stressful environment. She gets along fine with Mia, they can be adopted together but Mia isn't a fan of how relentlessly playful she is (most kittens are like this which is why we recommend adoption of kittens in pairs or with other young cats) so if they were to stay together she would need a friend to play with instead. She can also be adopted separately from Mia, again with plenty of playtime or with a friend to play with would be even better. DOB: March 2nd

Story
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.March 18, 2024, 3:35 pm

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.March 18, 2024, 3:35 pm

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!March 18, 2024, 3:35 pm

Hi, I’m Cortado, a striking 1-year-old (as of April 2023) boy. I started my life on the streets but just like a hot cortado, I am warming up to life as an inside kitty. I recently discovered how nice nighttime snuggles with the hoomans are! I love to play with my brothers, especially hide and pounce in the cat tunnel and chase toys that make noise. I love to be around kids and am great with other kitties and dogs once I get comfortable. Best of all, I’ll come to your home litter box trained, neutered, FIV/FeLV negative, and with all age-appropriate vaccinations.
