Notes from Brooklyn Animal Action

Rocco is a sweet, affectionate, and outgoing teen kitten who loves being around people. He has an almost dog-like loyalty, greeting you at the door every time you come home with a loud purr and plenty of enthusiasm. He loves attention and will eagerly climb into your lap, nuzzle your face when you pick him up, and follow your hand with his head to make sure the pets don't stop. He's also wonderfully confident and friendly with new people, greeting visitors without a hint of shyness.

Rocco is a very energetic and playful kitten, especially when toys or treats are involved. This boy has some serious energy! He'll leap 5 feet high to catch a wand toy, and comes running whenever he thinks there might be treats. When mealtime rolls around, he has the sweetest little meow to remind you that he's waiting.

Rocco loves other cats and spends his days playing with his foster buddy, Pacino. He'd thrive in a home with another active cat who can match his enthusiasm, though a home where he'd be the only cat might be considered if it's the right fit. He and Pacino would make a wonderful pair, but they can also be adopted separately. Rocco approaches just about everything with enthusiasm, whether it's meeting someone new, chasing a toy, or settling into your lap for some affection.

Rocco is about 6 months old and healthy. He is neutered, microchipped, tested fiv-/felv-, up to date on his vaccines and ready for a loving furrever home!

Thank you for thinking of a rescued angel. Every dime goes to saving another homeless kitty on the street.
