In the shelter’s words
Hi! My name is Rocket and I am a sweet little girl who is looking for my forever home. I’d love to tell you a bit more about my history and goals for the future. I originally came from a home with my mom, named Mama. Unfortunately, my owners had to move into a nursing home and became chair-bound so they could no longer take care of us. Mama has been adopted, but I am perfectly happy to go to a separate home so that I can soak up all of the love for myself. I get scared around dogs, so no dogs please. I have not been around children except for the children that volunteer at the cat center, so I would prefer to go to a home with older kids or adults-only. I am a little shy when I first meet people since I just lost my original home, but with a quiet environment and some pats on the head, I warm up quickly! I also like to talk to people in my own cat language. Come and visit me at the cat center so that we can have a little conversation. One thing that is unique about me is how soft my fur is. I groom myself to perfection and the result is the softest fur you’ve ever felt. Don’t believe me? Come check it out for yourself at PetSmart! I would be honored to meet you. I also have the biggest, cutest eyes possible. When I look up at you, it’s easy to see why people fall in love with me immediately. But I’m not just all about good looks. My personality is just as perfect as my looks. At home, I am obsessed with the sink because it provides the perfect shape for me to rest in. I also am obsessed with cat beds and cat towers. My favorite place in the whole world is cuddling up with you for a nap or for bedtime. I love finding spots in the house (or on you) that fit me perfectly. I get to cuddle up with protection and snooze in these spots. When I’m awake, I prefer to be showered with attention. I specifically love head scratches and will give you the cutest little head butt to convince you to pet me, just like in the videos that you can see in my profile. Do I sound like the perfect companion for you? If so, fill out an application for me today! Rocket is microchipped, up-to-date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained. Rocket’s adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting her, please fill out our Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting.
