Notes from Rocket Rescue
Got an extra cat bed and a big heart? I'm looking for a patient, loving person who will give me the time I need to blossom. I was rescued from under a house with my five kittens, and its been quite a journey. My foster mom says I'm the gentlest cat she's ever known — I would never bite or swat. For most of my nearly two years, I didn't know people could be a source of love and comfort. I was a devoted mom who always let my babies eat first and kept them safe when things got scary. Then something wonderful happened: I discovered pets, purring, and even laps! Im still learning, and I sometimes hide when I feel unsure, but Im doing it less and less. More and more, Im coming out to watch the household action and even join in.
I love being around other cats and don't mind dogs. Im a litter-box pro and, best of all, I've decided I never want to live outside again. I'm ready to become the soft, spoiled housecat I was meant to be. I just need someone who believes in me and will be patient while I learn how wonderful life can be. Maybe you're my special someone?
