Story
Sweetheart is a beautiful 1-year-old kitty. She was found as a stray living in our tree. She was weak so we nursed her back to health slowly over a period of months and got all her needs taken care of, as well as introduced her to indoor life! She loves to cuddle on the couch, but does not prefer to be held too much. If you lay on the bed she will love to cuddle up close to your face with a loud purrrr. She can get her nails trimmed fine and can handle the harness well for walks or other purposes. She is the sweetest cat to humans, hence her name, but she has had some difficulty getting used to multiple cats, particularly our female kitties. She was quick to get along with our male cat (orange male pictured above, she will cuddle him), but has tension and stress with the others. Sweetheart is a beautiful cat that must be the designated single-cat or introduced carefully to one other kitty! Sweetheart will love you and be your best friend forever if you play mouse toy with her

Story
LuLu is a lovely 7-month old torbie kitten. She came into the shelter with her siblings after likely being born to a feral mom, and they were all battling illness when rescued. LuLu’s healthy now, but her tough start has made her wary of people. Her foster family has worked patiently with her, and while she isn’t comfortable with human affection yet, she absolutely enjoys the company of other cats—both playful kittens and calm adults.  LuLu would do well in a home that already has a confident, friendly cat who could be her companion. She could also thrive in a safe indoor-workspace or warehouse-type setting where she has room to be independent, while still having a reliable food source and shelter. Because she has spent her entire life in foster care, she’s not really suited to a traditional outdoor barn-cat lifestyle. Lulu is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Contact info@rockwallpets.com if you’d like to learn more about LuLu and whether she might be the right fit for your home or facility.   December 8, 2025, 2:49 pm

I am already neutered, microchipped and up to date on my Rabies vaccine, FVRCP vaccine, FELV vaccine, and FIV/FELV negative! If you think we could be the greatest dynamic duo, please submit an application at https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ !

Story
Puck is an 8-year-old, 10-lb Domestic Short Hair with movie-star looks and a very clear sense of personal space. This handsome gentleman is affectionate, but strictly on his terms. He enjoys attention, head rubs, and companionship&#194&#151just don't scoop him up and expect him to be thrilled about it. Puck prefers all four paws on solid ground and will let you know when he's ready for love. He's a bit reserved at first and needs time to feel comfortable, but once he settles in, he's a loyal, charming companion who appreciates calm energy and respectful humans. Because of his need for a quiet, predictable environment, Puck would do best in an adult-only or teen (13+) home and must be the only pet. Puck is neutered, microchipped, current on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and FIV/FeLV negative. His adoption fee is $50. If you're the kind of person who understands that the best relationships are built on trust, patience, and mutual respect, Puck may be your perfect match.
