FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Rocky, who enjoys sporting business casual clothes like ties, is available for adoption now at the Fredericksburg SPCA. He is 11 years old, and his adoption fees have been waived as he looks for a forever home that will allow him to retire and find a work-life balance.

The Fredericksburg SPCA described Rocky as a "long-stay kitty," who has been searching for a forever home for a while. This chill cat is a pro at giving hugs; all he needs is a chance.

"Rocky is a well-loved boss who gives the best hugs, even if he can be a bit of a meowcro manager at times, following you from room to room," the Fredericksburg SPCA wrote. "Rocky believes in teamwork, so don't be surprised if you fall asleep at your desk you may wake up to him on your chest giving his best effort to join you for nap time."
