About Cricket and Daphne

Meet Cricket and Daphne! These two bonded six-month-old Domestic Short Hair kittens are currently in Amherst, MA. With their gentle hearts and playful spirits, they’re both incredibly lovable companions. Cricket, the gray and tan tabby boy, is a real belly-rub enthusiast. Once comfy, he loves to settle on a lap, expose his tummy, and soak up affection. He enjoys eager neck scratches, sweet conversations, and playing with his favorite pink toy mouse. If he feels ignored, Cricket has an adorable little “dissatisfied grunt” to call for attention. Daphne, the lovely gray tabby and white girl, has her own sweet way of getting noticed. A tiny, high-pitched peep signals her need for more cuddles. She loves burrowing beneath blankets and snuggling in close to her human. Jingly balls, wand toys, and time on the lap keep her smiling. Both kittens might start off shy, but their playful sides shine through once they feel at ease. They enjoy playtime together and with other cats, though they don’t like being picked up. A calm family that allows them to express affection at their own pace will help them gain confidence. Cricket and Daphne share a precious bond that keeps them secure, so they must be adopted together. They do well with other cats and are suited for respectful older children, but they prefer to steer clear of dogs. A peaceful, indoor-only home filled with love and playtime is ideal for these two. Cricket is neutered, and Daphne’s spay is being scheduled. Both are vaccinated and healthy. Is there room on your lap for two sweet little shadows who plan to stay close?
