About Cricket

Cricket is a gentle calico who prefers the peace and quiet of a calm home. She lost her owner recently and is still finding her footing in new surroundings. Cricket tends to be reserved and likes quiet routines; she’s not looking for chaos or too much excitement. Loud dogs and rowdy kids aren’t her style, but she’d be fine with another mellow cat or a small, cat-friendly dog who knows how to give her space. She came into the shelter with Willow, and while it’d be a nice bonus if they could go home together, it isn’t a requirement. Cricket is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and she’s had a clean bill of health from the vet. You can meet her in Eglin AFB, FL at Pet Welfare. Click apply to start the adoption process.
