Cricket's Story

Meet Cricket: The Socially Awkward Legend <br/><br/>Cricket was born in a feral colony, so he's basically that guy who skipped the "How to Cat" orientation. <br/>Humans? Suspicious. <br/>Living indoors? Weird. <br/>Vacuum cleaner? Almost certainly a government conspiracy.<br/><br/>These days, Cricket is embracing the indoor life... at his own pace. He's not the cat who's going to launch himself into your lap on Day One. In fact, on Day One he'll probably pretend you don't exist.<br/><br/>But don't take it personally, he ignores everyone equally.<br/><br/>Once you earn his trust, though, you've hit the jackpot. <br/><br/>Treats? He's there.<br/><br/> Head scratches? He'll reluctantly admit they're actually pretty awesome. It's just going to take him a minute (or a few hundred minutes) to let you know.<br/><br/>Cricket also thinks other animals are the greatest invention since canned food. He loves the dogs and cats in his foster home and would thrive with a confident furry friend who can show him that humans aren't actually trying to ruin his life.<br/><br/>Adopting Cricket is a bit like befriending the introvert who sits quietly in the corner at every party. You won't get instant cuddles, but when he finally decides you're one of his people, you'll wear that achievement like an Olympic gold medal.<br/><br/>If you're patient, kind, and don't mind letting Cricket set the pace, we promise he's worth every awkward little step.<br/><br/>To apply for this adorably anxious gentleman, visit www.shirleysanimals.org.

Meet Cricket: The Socially Awkward Legend

Cricket was born in a feral colony, so he's basically that guy who skipped the "How to Cat" orientation.
Humans? Suspicious.
Living indoors? Weird.
Vacuum cleaner? Almost certainly a government conspiracy.

These days, Cricket is embracing the indoor life... at his own pace. He's not the cat who's going to launch himself into your lap on Day One. In fact, on Day One he'll probably pretend you don't exist.

But don't take it personally, he ignores everyone equally.

Once you earn his trust, though, you've hit the jackpot.

Treats? He's there.

Head scratches? He'll reluctantly admit they're actually pretty awesome. It's just going to take him a minute (or a few hundred minutes) to let you know.

Cricket also thinks other animals are the greatest invention since canned food. He loves the dogs and cats in his foster home and would thrive with a confident furry friend who can show him that humans aren't actually t

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.
