Rocky takes the lead in Rocky’s Cat-astrophe, an hour-long PAW Patrol special about a rescue that teaches him why asking for help is part of being a hero. After Mayor Humdinger’s scheme damages a junkyard kitten’s home, Rocky brings Percy to the Lookout—and learns that looking after the mischievous kitten is more than he can manage alone.
What happens in Rocky’s Cat-astrophe?
Mayor Humdinger’s scheme goes wrong and damages the home of Percy, a kitten who lives in a junkyard. Rocky invites Percy to stay overnight at the Lookout. Ryder offers to help keep an eye on the “zippy kitty,” but Rocky wants to take charge himself.
Percy’s mischievous behavior makes the job harder than Rocky expects. The story follows Rocky as he realizes that taking responsibility does not mean doing everything alone.
What does Rocky learn?
Rocky discovers that asking for help is a strength, not a failure. His experience with Percy puts the special’s teamwork lesson into practice: even a capable hero may need support to help someone well.
