Meet Cricket
This little love bug is 7 months old and he most affectionate and talkative boy. He loves to play fetch, chew all the cardboard boxes, and play with other cats & dogs! He has got such a lovable personality.

Cricket was rescued from the shelter, where he came in with missing hind limbs. We believe they were cut off due to some sort of trauma. Despite his disability, he is full of so much life and gets around surprisingly well! As you can see in the videos, he really thrives on soft carpets. They allow him to use his back stubs to run and play like any other cat! He LOVES it.

He has a harder time on hard surfaces, so he would love a home with lots of soft carpets, or a home willing to accommodate his disability with lots of rugs and/or blankets!

Over the last few months, we closely monitored him as he grew. Initially, his vets had concerns about potential complications with his hind legs. Fortunately, he is nearly full grown and has adapted so well! We’re confident that he can enjoy the rest of his life just the way he is!
