Rocky is a 2.5 year old Grey Domestic Shorthair cat who needs a new home. Rocky weighs 14 lbs and is Indoor only. This cat is located in Chapel Hill, NC 27514.

Rocky would do best in an environment where he could go outside into a fenced yard, but mostly stay indoors. He loves to lay in the sunshine, and look out the window. He's a quiet kitty, and he is a good companion. I wouldn't call him sweet, and he doesn't like to be held, but he is very nice. He plays with string, loves feet under the covers, likes to be around people and certainly loves his food and snacks. He is very good with other animals, and he rubs up against our two dogs (50 lbs each). He wrestles with our other cat, and the other cat does not appreciate it.

Rocky is a 10 year old Grey striped maine coon mix cat who needs a new home. Rocky weighs 18 to 20 lbs and is Indoor only. This cat is located in Raleigh, NC 27615.

Rocky belonged to my brother who died 1 1/2 years ago from Type I Diabetes. He loved Rocky and Rocky was a true companion who never left his side. Rocky is diabetic & requires a daily insulin shot and is 10 years old. He is an indoor kitty and loves attention but is not demanding. He is a big boy with a large head and beautiful face and eyes. He uses the Arm & Hammer pine litter and a covered litter box. He has a basket of toys that he sometimes will play with and a carrier he likes to lounge/sun in. Rocky gives head butts and is loving and likes to be loved, he was #1 kitty at my brother's home and this would be ideal for him, however we have 8 other cats that he occasionally visits. He is a sweet boy, he always comes up to me while I'm getting ready for work and backs up to get his attention/rubs for the morning...I think Rocky would do fine w/other cats. My wish is for Rocky to go to a home where he can live and enjoy the rest of his years giving head butt loves and knowing he is loved. My heart is sad to have to place him, he has a special place in my heart, would like to be able to visit occasionally.

Basil is a 1-2 year old Grey cat cat who needs a new home. This cat is located in NC.

Basil is a very sweet, friendly, and handsome boy cat. He is grey with dark grey stripes on his back and has a white belly with white paws. His fur is luxuriously soft because he likes to take care of himself. He likes to talk to you and purrs when you pick him up. He also likes to follow you wherever you go. He's very good with people, even when he first meets them. He does expect breakfast and dinner to be right on time though. An ideal home situation would be one with a yard where he can run around outside and do his thing and come indoors whenever he feels he needs a rest. He loves lounging in flowers. If we could keep him, we would in a heartbeat, but circumstances won't allow it. He needs a forever home fast!
