Cupcakes and Cashmere

Rocco

July 4th, 2011

After I returned from a quick trip to Napa this past weekend, my fiancé and I decided to add another member to our family. We got him through Kitten Rescue, which is a great organization that saves cats from shelter euthanasia and abandonment, and he is absurdly sweet. So, in between barbecues and fireworks, we’ll be cuddled up with little Rocco for the remainder of the holiday weekend. To everyone celebrating, I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July.

    awwwwwwwwwwwwww he is so perfect! :) We wanted a cat or dog but our condo doesnt allow pets . A friend had little orange kittens too, so it was so hard not to want them

    Congrats!

    Having a home with kitty cats is a wonderful place to live in. We have three and we couldn’t love them more. The litter boxes, those are a different story though 0_O lol

    He’s adorable! Have fun!

    We have two rescue kitties. They have been with us for nine years now. They both have very much enriched our lives. One of them is an orange kitty similar to yours. I loved your photos. It reminded me of when they were kittens.

    He’s beautiful!!! Perhaps I’m biased because he looks like my very own Merlin? He’s my dog’s pet cat… :) Here they are –> http://doctorontheside.com/2011/03/22/wolfgang-life-in-review/

    Congratulations on rescuing a new pet kitten, Emily! We rescue and rehome cats and we recently rescued three little orange kittens that look so much like your Rocco. We just adopted two of them out last week to a really sweet family (it is always so sad to say goodbye though!). Hopefully Luna likes her new friend :)

    Rocco is beyond adorable! What a wonderful addition to your already beautiful family!

  • Alice

    That’s really nice of you! I love when people adopt animals instead of buying it. I wish you lots of happiness with the new baby kitty!

    HOW SWEET! He is just beautiful! :) We have 5 cats that were all rescues! 2 adopted from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, 1 found on the side of the road, 1 found in our garage, and the other is a neighborhood cat we’ve adopted! :) We have a crazy house sometimes! haha

    Rocco is absolutely beautiful.
    He looks like my cat when he was a kitten. I found him on the streets, covered by fleas and hungry.
    Sol is now in my lap sending you kisses from Brazil.

    I just bought that shirt from Madewell this weekend! On sale for 25$ -__^ love the kitty too!

    I just “adopted” 3 kittens and their mother myself. They were abandoned by my neighbors, so I’m taking care of them til I can find them a good home.

    Kudos to adopting animals rather than buying from a breeder.

    Hi Emily, I´d like to ask you if I can post tha picture of you and Rocco in my blog with the due credit to your blog and post, of course. Because I’m running a campaing, along with a NGO, in my fashion blog to rescue abandoned cats, and I´m featuring people who did it in other to incetivate people to do the same. Let me know. Thanks!
