Story
Violin is a beautiful cat who has had a tough past. She was found in a field with her mom and sisters. The sisters showed a lot of promise from the start. Violin thought she might want to stay as a community cat with her mom. But after some time in the right foster home, she started to turn around. She went through a de-pickling process and has come out significantly less briny. Violin will still need a cat-savvy home and a patient adopter, but you will be wonderfully rewarded in time. She does well with other cats who can hold their own against her strong personality. She may overpower more submissive cats. Violin would be frightened of young children. She could probably hold her own with a cat-savvy dog. Violin is about a year old, vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She is ready to add to your sweet symphony.

Story
Moony is a positive guy who thinks that being positive is the way to go through life. Back when he was living as a street cat he knew he’d find someone who would want to help him. A kind-hearted community cat caretaker took him under their wing and cared for him as part of her cat colony. Then, the unthinkable happened - he was attacked by another animal and severely injured. His caretaker took him in and helped him recover. Moony was positive he did not want to go back outside and acclimated quickly to the luxurious life of the indoor cat. He has an optimistic outlook on life and enjoys the company of kids and other cats. Moony is also positive that being FIV positive isn’t a big deal. He knows that it’s only transmitted by deep bites. And this guy is a lover not a fighter. He’s living the snug-life and just wants a warm home with a windowsill for some bird watching. Moony is also positive he will find his furrever home. Who could resist his stunning silver coat and wise eyes? Moony is approximately 6 years old and is positively pawesome! He has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Story
Once upon a time, in a land that was here, a darling kitten was born and named Briar Rose. She was adopted as a baby and thought she’d lived happily ever after. But, like many fairytales, tragedy struck our princess. After 6 years of love, a maleficent force stole her father and she returned to us, her original rescue. Briar Rose feels like she is lost in sleep while searches for her new forever family. She feels cursed like Sleeping Beauty and waiting for her family to find her in the thicket of thorns she feels surrounded by. She will need an adopter that will give her some time and patience to blossom into the beautiful Princess Aurora that she can be. But for now, like many of us coming out of a deep fog, she is not sure who to trust and looking for consistent love and security to break down her thorny walls. She has responded well to a short term dose of anti-anxiety medication. When she finds that trust with someone she is chatty, affectionate, and inquisitive. Briar Rose is finally learning again what it is like to be a cat. She would be great for a person living alone and looking for a cat who wants to be their one and only princess. Briar Rose is 6 years old, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations.

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!April 19, 2024, 12:11 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.April 19, 2024, 12:11 pm

Story
Luisa is an approximately 1-year-old (as of April 2023) cat who was rescued with her three litter mates snugly tucked in behind a flower box in an unsuspecting family's backyard.  She is short and stout with stunning tabby markings and some gorgeous big eyes!  She hasn’t been around dogs thus far in her life but I don’t think it would be an issue for her.  Not one not to pester a cat that doesn’t want to be bothered, but she adores her adult foster brother and is never far out of his shadow. She likes to be part of the action laying near her people and sleeping on the bed with them most nights but prefers pets on her terms.   I'm sure she would great companion for a lonely singular cat or a person who doesn’t try to push her too much with cuddling.  She comes to you litter box trained, spayed, FIV/FeLV negative, and with all age-appropriate vaccinations so contact Rock City Rescue to adopt this gorgeous girl.

wildaboutcatscc@gmail.com Misty and Stormy are sisters that came into the rescue as kittens and had no human interaction. They are very cautious and skittish. They will require a home that will allow them to become comfortable in their own time. Once they feel safe, they will be able to show their true personalities; which are oh so wonderful. Misty loves to birdwatch and chatter at the birds. She also loves a good cuddle and belly rub. Stormy is a bit more shy, but so very loving when she feels at ease. If you are willing to be patient with these girls, they will reward you with love and affection. Watching them transform is a beautiful sight to see! They have been spayed and are up to date on their vaccinations. All of our cats are fostered in Tennessee but we transport to most states. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road.
