Story
Lyla is a sweet, affectionate girl that will greet you when you come home, runs straight to you at the sound of a treat bag opening, and purrs at just the sight of your hand reaching toward you to pet her. She has a big heart and a cute face, has a louder than average purr, gentle and doesn't scratch when playing, and her favorite kind of toys are small ones that she can rub against her face and hold between her paws, like mice and plush food. She is shy around people she doesn't know but when she comes to love you, she has a lot to give. It's a very hard decision for us to part with her but she doesn't get along with our other cat and tends to bully her, so we would like to find a home for Lyla where she is the only cat and she can be given all the love and attention that she deserves. Lyla was born in October of 2019. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Story
Mavis is a very affectionate kitten born in late September. Her mother came to us when she was pregnant and had Mavis along with another kitten who has already found a forever home of her own. Mavis still needs a home of her own, we love her but can't keep her due to being at capacity for pets. She likes to come up to us for pets, she licks our faces and hands, sits on our laps and on our beds at night, and loves playing with her toys. She's also very gentle, I've never been scratched by her on purpose. Overall she's an affectionate girl that can give a lot of love and we're hoping to find a home for her that can give her a lot of love and attention in return. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

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.

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ruby was a rescue kitten who we adopted when she was 9 months old. Born in Texas in the midst of the pandemic in 2020, she also dealt with the terrible winter storm that caused extreme cold and triggered a severe power crisis. The shelter she was at had to fly her in to Jersey as a result. Ruby loves cuddles and sitting in the bathtub (with no water in it of course). She’s adventurous, brave, and sometimes even a bit sassy! But she deals with a lot of anxiety, particularly at night without the company of another cat. As a result, she does not allow me to sleep. And unfortunately, because of my work schedule, and because no one else is in the house during the day, she isn’t getting the attention and love she deserves. Ruby is really looking for a buddy. Whether it be a human or fellow furbaby, I think Ruby just needs to consistent love and a little company. I love Ruby and hate to give her up but in the best interest of us both, she needs a more equipped forever home.
