About this Cat
Hello, my name is Rocky, and boy do I have a story for you ! Once upon a time, I lived in a home and had an owner who loved me. I remember a soft bed, lots of pets and cuddles, and kisses during storms. Unfortunately, something bad happened, and I ended up outside. At first I didn't think it was so bad, there were other kitties, but they turned out to not be very friendly. Because I wasn't fixed and I had a strong male scent, they beat me up over and over, they wouldn't let me eat if they got food, I never got fresh water or even clean water, and they wouldn't allow me to sleep near them for safety. I got beat up by other animals too and, because I was so big, they felt even more threatened by me. But I didn't hate them. I was raised to give and accept love, so I didn't fight back, I just kept moving around. I then got sick from all those kitties beating me up. I caught a few nasty diseases that made me very ill, and with no clean water or food, I could barely move. I curled up near a nice warm house. Two ladies found me, scooped me into a carrier, and rushed me to the vet. That poor vet had no idea how badly I was injured or how sick I was; they just knew it was bad. After blood work and all sorts of tests, it was determined that I had calicivirus and coccidia from some very mean raccoons that attacked me. I had bad parasites in my stomach from the dirty water. My teeth were rotting away. I could barely walk from the swelling in my head, face and legs. I had huge scars and deep wounds from the animals biting and scratching me. I was a mess. The ladies who found me cried. I stayed at the vet for a few days and began feeling a little better. I was then sent to a kind woman's home. She was very nice and tried everything she could think of to make me feel better, but everything I ate made me so sick to my stomach. The kind woman found another woman who said I could come stay with her, so I did. It was so scary at first. She had barking dogs and loud noises that used to scare me, so I would hide under blankets. She made me special foods and tried all kinds of medicines to help me feel better. Some of it helped, but I still didn't feel great. Some days I was OK, other days I didn't even want to eat. The woman brought me back and forth to the vet a few times and cried the whole way there. Sometimes, she would talk to me and I would feel better, but sometimes she just cried. I loved visiting the vet! I always got treats and pets, and they always tried to make me feel better. I ended up having to have all my teeth pulled after a few visits (not all at once; that's mean!) because they were making me very, very sick. I visited a specialist about my teeth. The specialist changed my medicine to help me feel more awake and hungry. They found an ear infection starting, and I also got that fixed. I've been taken off restrictions and I can eat anything I want now. Finally, I'm feeling great. I love to play like a kitten with my toys. I hope to now reach out in the great big world and find another person to love me. I would love to have my person hold me during thunderstorms because as big as I am (almost seventeen pounds), I'm still scared. I'm a happy boy who would just love to call you mine, and would love it even more if you called me yours. Please understand that after everything I've been through, I am very scared of other animals, so I have to live in a home with just people. I'm sure I would enjoy watching a few fish in a tank as well as the birds outside the window. I'm still very scared of the outside world. I do spend some time in the sun, but only when I'm safe in my carrier and my foster mom sits with me so we can talk. I know she loves me, but she has too many animals to keep me, so she and I talked and we think I am ready to go to a new home that I can call my own with a family that will give me the love I deserve. And that's my story. I hope that, maybe, you'll think about giving me a place to call my forever home. Good night world, and thank you to the angels who loved me and saved me.

Adopt Rocky and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Rocky's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Rocky's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Rocky, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Rocky's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Rocky was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Rocky’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Rocky’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Rocky’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
