Rocky

Renters had already moved out when the landlord found Rocky and his brother, Felix, in the yard of the property in September, 2011. There likely was a mother cat tending to them but either the person didn't realize that or perhaps assumed they had been abandoned. Although it's hard to know what to do when tiny kittens are found, ideally the area should be monitored for a few hours to see if there's a mother cat around. It's always too bad when the mother is not rescued along with her kittens. Rocky and Felix were about four weeks old at the time. Rocky's brother, Felix, came to us with a spinal injury and regrettably the young brothers had to be placed in separate foster homes.

Personality:

The family that initially took them in (before PAW) had young children and so the kittens received frequent handling and lots of play time. The kittens could not stay permanently with this family as their lease did not have provision for pets. Rocky and his brother were very well socialized when they entered the PAW program at the end of November, 2011. Rocky is a friendly, gentle and cuddly young fellow. He loves visitors and is the first to greet them when they arrive. He especially enjoys playing with one of the younger resident cats in his foster home. They gallop up and down the hallway (and for Rocky and those long back legs, that is an apt description of his running style!). At the end of the day, Rocky will be found sleeping on his foster mom's bed along with the other resident cats. Although he loves to play, he's not overly rambunctious. Rocky very much enjoys gentle children.

Boomerang training:

Such a photogenic young fellow!
