Rocko's Story

Meet Rocko, an incredible little survivor who is ready to play and charm his way into your heart! <br/><br/>Rocko's rescue story is that he suddenly appeared on the streets of Crown Heights with a severely injured tail. Sadly, he had to ultimately undergo a tail amputation but he has made a full recovery! His tail is now only 2-3 inches long, giving him the appearance of a handsome little Manx cat. It does not impact his ability to run, play, use the bathroom, or do any of the things normal cats like to do. In fact, if you ask Rocko, he'd tell you the most traumatic thing about this process was the fact that he had to wear a cone for 3 weeks - it was awful! <br/><br/>Now, Rocko has settled into his foster homes where he's showed them what a playful boy he truly is. This buddy has energy in spades! He loves to playing with wand toys and racing across the apartment for anything you may throw his way. He enjoys puzzle feeders, window watching, and even tracks the ball on any sports games you might be watching (the US Open was a great time for Rocko!) <br/><br/>Once Rocko gets all his energy out he likes to curl up on the couch with you and snooze while you watch your shows, game, or read. He enjoys hanging out with his family and being wherever you are. <br/><br/>Rocko gets along well with dogs (he's currently being fostered with a dog!) and we suspect would do just fine with another playful cat friend. <br/><br/>Rocko is estimated to be just 1 year old and is fully vetted. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, FIV and FeLV negative, and treated for parasites and fleas. <br/><br/>If you are interested in learning more about Rocko, please fill out our application at: https://forms.gle/2VBpJ6R8fHkDGw9a8
