Meet Rocket – A Survivor with a Heart of Gold
Rocket is a six-year-old male cat who was surrendered to ACCT Philly due to severe constipation. Multiple enemas failed to help, and he was placed on the euthanasia list. Stray Kitty Rescue intervened, and Rocket was rushed to Ryan Veterinary Hospital. After several days of veterinary care, it was determined that his condition could be managed with a high-fiber diet and occasional Miralax or Lactulose. He now has a clean bill of health and is thriving.
Following his recovery, Rocket was placed in several foster homes where he continued to flourish in calm, stable environments. He was briefly adopted, but the fit was not ideal, and he was sadly returned. Rocket has demonstrated an affectionate, curious, gentle, quiet, loyal, playful, adaptable, and smart personality. He has also shown that he is good with other cats and dogs.
Rocket’s remarkable resilience is evident in his survival of a life-threatening medical condition and his ability to blossom in foster care. His personality combines calm affection with occasional playful bursts. His medical needs are straightforward—he thrives on fiber-rich food and occasional laxatives. Rocket does best in a low-stress environment that values routine and understands his history.
Rocket is still seeking a forever home where his story is understood and his needs are met! He offers quiet companionship, loyal affection, and moments of play. If you are interested in learning more about Rocket or meeting him, please reach out to Stray Kitty Rescue to arrange a meeting or to get more information. A trial adoption may be possible to ensure the right fit. Please consider sharing Rocket’s story to help him find the loving home he deserves.
We are based in NJ and can bring Rocket to you for a visit and have donations to assist with supplies!
