Rocket, Aug. 25th Pet of the Week

awww…so cute!

Say hello to Rocket, a kitten who was brought to our shelter on May 7 as a stray at 5 weeks old and weighing only 2 pounds. At that time, he was terribly scared, distrustful and not ready to launch into the human world. Now, at almost 5 months old, Rocket has developed such a stellar personality! He orbits your hand for pets and attention, and he’s taken such good care of his black fur that it shines like the sun. Rocket is so ready to blast off to a forever home! Won’t you please jump in your spacecraft and comet on over to meet him? Ask for ID#A698431. To adopt Rocket or any other cat in the shelter, visit him at Long Beach Animal Care Services or call (562) 570-4925. Shelter hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at 7700 E. Spring St. at the entrance to El Dorado Park (no parking fee for shelter visitors). You can email PetAdopt@longbeach.gov to speed the process for adopting or fostering any pet!

(This rescue encouraged by the usual suspects.)
