Adopt a Domestic Short Hair / Tiger / Mixed (short coat)

Rocco is a died-in-the-wool bachelor.



He despises dogs, and is disgusted by cats. Humans? now that's another story. He is friendly and fun, entertaining in his antics of rolling around in the grass chasing his own tail.



Because of injuries to his ears earlier in his life (we're not sure through ear mites, fighting, or infection) his ears are a bit crinkled. This seems to affect his ability, or lack there of, to jump. He is currently loving life outside with a simple garden fence enclosure giving him access to a full size porch including a heated house for winter, shrubs and lawn space. He is happy as a clam.



We keep reminding him he needs to go on a diet, but he is convinced he will starve to death. Who ever the lucky duck is that brings this boy home needs to keep in mind Rocco will eat himself into diabetes if allowed and for his safety a garden fence enclosure allowing him outside would make him very happy. He has about 4 teeth in his head and he is FIV+.

Rocco is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, he has been dewormed and deflead. All of which is included for the adoption donation of $125. Please complete an application to be considered to adopt Rocco - even your neighbors will love this roly poly guy. 



To view more pictures, and learn about our programs visit us on FaceBook. We raise our rescues in foster homes so they are already accustomed to people, phones, radios and tv; all the noises of home life. We know the behaviors of them as well, and can give a good assessment on what will be a fabulous match for you and your home. Because we work out of our home we require a completed application before you come to visit. Some of our available cats and kittens can be visited at #PoughkeepsiePetSmart during business hours.
