Finally.....

Finally, Rocky, who was abandoned at the county park months ago, is at Heartland, waiting there for a home.  There he can be seen by people who want a cat in their lives.  And what a cat he is too.

Rocky is laid back and a hugger.   He loves other cats and people, despite what people have done to him in the past.

I first encountered him in the bushes at the park, a sudden glimpse of a massive black face, like a  panther.  He had a massive appetite too, which challenged my ability to keep him fed.  There was no chance to find him somewhere to go, like a shelter or rescue, to be seen so he could be adopted, during the height of kitten season.  So I waited and waited, feeding him, watching him struggle, trying to hunt ground squirrels to keep his massive body nourished.

I wish people wouldn't be so mean and dump cats.  They do it all over this county.  Its so sad and so mean.  So hard on the cats and those who care.

Finally in September I had an open spay neuter reservation, not knowing if he was already fixed or not, and I trapped him.  Took all of three minutes since he LOVES wet food.

He turned out to be already fixed.   That was the 17th of September.  He stayed in a small cage in my living room for awhile.

He had trouble getting down off the shelf to the food, water and litter box, he is so large.

Finally, a week of that, no luck finding a shelter to take him, he went down to a friend with a large walk in holding cage.    He was down there a couple of weeks before I tried Heartland Humane again and thank goodness, they said bring him.  So yesterday I took him there.  He was a perfect boy for his admission.  I hope he gets a home soon.  He's such a sweet kitty and went through so much.  He deserves some really good humans this time around.  I hope someone finds him there who will take wonderful care of him.  Thank you Heartland Humane for giving Rocky a place to be seen by people.

Rocky is at Heartland Humane in Corvallis.  If you're a decent loving kind human being, consider adopting Rocky.

Thank you.
