Cricket's Story

Meet Cricket: Shy Guy with a Soft Side <br/><br/>Cricket is a very special boy who's still figuring out this whole "being a pampered house cat" thing. Born into a feral colony, he didn't grow up binge-watching humans from the couch, so indoor life felt pretty suspicious at first (honestly, can you blame him?)<br/><br/>He's a shy guy and will need a patient, understanding home that lets him move at his own pace. Think of him as the introvert at the party, he's not going to be the first one to say hello, but give him a little time and he'll quickly become your favorite guest.<br/><br/>And here's the good part: once Cricket trusts you, he's all about the perks. Treats? Yes, please. Head scratches? Surprisingly amazing. He's just not ready to admit that immediately.<br/><br/>Cricket gets along well with the dogs and cats in his foster home, so he'd do great with a calm, confident furry friend to show him the ropes (and reassure him that the vacuum cleaner is not, in fact, a predator).<br/><br/>If you're the kind of person who understands that the best relationships take a little time, and that earning a shy cat's trust is basically a lifetime achievement award, Cricket is your guy.<br/><br/>To apply, visit www.shirleysanimals.org

Shirley's Angels Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
*IF AN ANIMAL IS SHOWING ON THE SITE, THEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE* The adoption process can take several business days and your patience is much appreciated as we process your application. We do not do same day adoptions. The process consists of filling out an application and verifying the application information. We will contact your landlord (if applicable) to verify that they are ok with you adopting an animal. We will contact your vet (if applicable) to verify that your pets are current on vaccinations and have been spayed/neutered. We also contact your two personal references so please make sure they are prepared to answer (or return) our phone call. There will be a home visit as part of the adoption process. We operate on a first-come, first-serve policy. The first completed application on a specific animal will place that animal “on hold” while we process your application. However, we do accept multiple applications on one animal. If we decide the first “hold” is not a good match, we move on to the second application and so on, until the right home is found for that particular animal. You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt. If you rent, we will require permission from your landlord in order to allow you to adopt. We reserve the right to refuse an adoption to anyone for any reason.
