Meet Mr. September!


Brown tabby cat snuggling a toy

Rocky Dzierzawski
a/k/a:  Count Rocky from Catsylvania


Adoption Date:  2/25/10

Gender:  Male

Weight:  14.2 pounds - Good body condition

Going to the Vet:  I REALLY don’t like being put in a carrier!   I much prefer to have the harness and leash put on.  Car rides are so fun!  I love to sit on the console between the front seats so I can see everything going on.  I’m ok in the exam room but if I have to go in back or my human friend has to leave me well……. let’s just say….. they call me a “real pistol”. 

BFF (best furry friend):  Fluffy (a/k/a Prince Fluffy VonMeowser) 
I love to snuggle, clean and play with him.  He’s the best furry friend ever!  Sometimes he gets mad when I bite him, apparently he doesn’t like it.  That’s part of how I got the name Count Rocky.

Favorite Toys:  My stuffed puppy and a small red felt mouse.  My favorite thing to chew on is the cardboard rolls of paper on a wire called a Cat Dancer – it’s really fun to chase too.

Favorite Place:  Anywhere up high.  I have an awesome kitty condo where I can see everything going on in the house and outside.  The picture was taken of me while I was sleeping with my stuffed dog in the middle floor bedroom of it. 

Age:  The warden said I was about 2 when I was paroled but, at my first checkup, the Vet  thought I was a little older.

My 'Hisstory':
People thought I was a bit of a bad boy in my younger years and I was in kitty jail for a while.  I was moved from one maximum-security facility to another.  They were all the same, cold steel cage, solitary confinement, not a pretty place. 

One sunny, summer day my number finally came up for parole.  I saw many people walking by picking up other parolees.  Finally, late in the day, I saw this couple walking by.  I made eye contact with the guy – I had him at ‘Meow’.

I wasn’t feeling well that day, but was happy to be going home.  The guy thought it was really cute that I was forcing the cardboard carrier open to be petted by him, he didn’t realize how claustrophobic I am.  I was a very sick kitty and became very cranky the next day.  I was coughing and using biting and scratching as a way of conveying how sick I was.  That’s mainly how I got the name Count Rocky.   

Thanks to Exclusively Cats I was able to fully recover from my kennel cough. The doctors there also discovered and removed 3 stones from my bladder (which didn’t help my disposition).  Today I’m happy, healthy and feeling great!

I can be a bit feisty and may occasionally nip but I’ve gotten much friendlier and more affectionate thanks to the loving fur-ever home I now have.

  1. My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease four years ago. After medications failed to help, we tried an herbal program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Within months, his alertness, coordination, and energy improved dramatically. He’s regained much of his independence and feels like himself again. I truly recommend exploring their natural approach at [info@naturepathherbalclinic.com](www.naturepathherbalclinic.com).
