Medical Notes - Rocket will be ready to leave care in 2 - 3 weeks time once he has been desexed. He was born with "Swimmers Syndrome" but with physio as a baby, his legs are now completely normal.
Rocket arrived into care with his mum and two siblings after they found themselves homeless in a rural pound. We were contacted to see if we could help because Rocket and his siblings were born with Swimmers Syndrome. Swimmers Syndrome is where the hind legs splay outwards making it difficult for the kitten to walk. Rocket received daily physiotherapy on his hind legs, and as the muscles in his legs strengthen, he began to walk normally. Rocket doesn't have any ongoing issues with his hind legs, and now you would never know he ever had a concern at all as he walks perfectly normally.
Rocket is a sweet and gentle kitten who is slightly more reserved than his sister Edna. He is a playful and happy little man who enjoys one on one time with his humans, but isn't pushy for attention. Rocket would suit a quieter family who is looking for a loving companion to bond with. He would like a home without young children.
Please get in touch if you would like to arrange a meet and greet with little Rocket. 🐾
Adoption details
If you would like to know more information about any of our rescue animals, our rescue group, or to arrange a meet and greet, please email us. Please provide us with your name, email address, contact number, and some information about yourself, and the home you have to offer one of our rescue animals.
About us:
Gary and the Handicats Rescue is run soley by a Vet Nurse who works shift work and also cares for sick and high needs rescue animals. We strive to get back to you within 24 hours, but during busy kitten seasons there may be a delay. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Please note we do not run on a "first in first served" basis. We screen applicants well before proceeding with adoption. Vet and rental references may be required for certain special needs adoptions.
We receive a large amount of interest in our handraised kittens, and certain special needs animals. Please understand that if you're application isn't successful, this may just be due to the amount of applications we have had for that particular animal, and not because of the home you have to offer. Preference is always given to our past adopters.
Meet and Greets:
• Meet and greets are held in an environment where the particular cat or kitten feels most comfortable.
• Please do not bring your own animals to a meet and greet.
• We do not allow any of our animals to be taken home on the day of the meet and greet. Special circumstances may be considered.
Picking up you're new family member:
• You MUST bring a safe, secure, and size appropriate carrier for your baby to travel home in. We do not have carriers to provide new adopters, and we will not send home one of our rescue animals in a cardboard box or a washing basket. If a carrier isn't able to be provided, your adoption will be cancelled.
