Meet Rocky. 🐾
Our family has grown by one tiny (very loud 😅) member.
Rocky earned his name because he’s been a little fighter from the very beginning. His barn cat mama unexpectedly left him behind in our shop, and after waiting what felt like forever for her to return, we realized this little guy needed help.
So… into the house he came.
Since last Wednesday, I’ve been on round-the-clock bottle duty, running on very little sleep and a whole lot of kitten cuddles. 🥱❤️
Rocky has already taken his first road trip — all the way to Seattle for Mother’s Day — where my mother-in-law, who has experience raising bottle babies, helped me learn the ropes of kitten care. We were both very grateful for Grandma’s expertise.
At this point, I think Home & Makers may have a new unofficial mascot. 🐱
If all goes well, Rocky will likely be hanging out with me at the shop on Thursdays if anyone would like to meet him.
