Female Cat, Domestic Short Hair
Domestic Short Hair / Torbie (Short Coat)
Description:
Please contact MaGo for more information about this pet.Thanks for your interest in a pet from A.R.F.! If you see a pet here, they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ Cricket is approximately 3 years old, and is a cute, petite torbie cat (tortoiseshell cat with some tabby cat markings) with gorgeous big eyes, who loves people. She has a unique coat of many colors in a mosaic of brown, black, orange, white and tan. Cricket is curious and spunky, and likes to "talk". She is a little timid at first, but she warms up very fast, and quickly learns to trust her human(s). She has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate kitty that enjoys being petted, and absolutely LOVES being brushed. When people enter the room, she rushes to greet them and follow them around. At nap time she will lay next to you, sometimes draping herself over your body. Cricket likes looking out the window to watch birds, squirrels and the neighbors. She loves chasing laser toys, playing with feather toys, watching bird videos, and doing the zoomies. Recently she had a root canal procedure to repair a previously broken upper canine tooth. This should last her a lifetime, but she should have dental x-rays done under anesthesia in 1-2 years just to confirm that the root canal is successful. The success rate for root canal therapy in cats is very high. Cricket is looking for a kind and caring pet parent(s) who will provide lots of love and attention. Cricket was rather anxious around her foster's own cat, and would do best as an only pet. She would be comfortable in a home with older, considerate kids. Cricket is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, and litter box trained. Cricket's adoption fee is $135. If you are interested in meeting Cricket, please fill out our Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will be able to contact you to arrange a meeting. Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation! We are based in Wheaton, IL and conduct adoption events in the DuPage County area. If you are interested in adopting one of our pets, please submit an adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ Adoption appointments are scheduled based on the order of applications received, so submit your application early! Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions or schedule meetings until your application has been approved. More information about our adoption process can be found on our website here: https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/ As an all-volunteer, foster home-based organization, A.R.F. Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. Please visit https://www.arf-il.org/events/ for a list of our upcoming adoption events. Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop!
