Story
Meet Griswold, a handsome black male cat with a gentle soul. He may be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, his sweet and loving personality shines through. Griswold enjoys quiet companionship and will happily share his affection with someone patient and kind enough to let him come out of his shell at his own pace. He’s also good with other cats, making him a wonderful addition to a multi-cat home or a perfect companion for a friendly feline already in residence. If you’re looking for a soft-hearted sweetheart who just needs a little love and understanding, Griswold may be the perfect match. 🖤

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
Theo came to me starving.at 5 weeks old while I ate at a taco truck. He was sick and hungry and had all types of health issues. I got him nice and healthy but the longer I have him I feel like the feral in him has come out he is very skittish and will need a special person that is willing and has the time to take to earn his trust.

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
