Cricket (bonded with Trixie) D19162

My story

Hi, my name is Cricket. I am from Alabama. From their foster: Hi, I’m Cricket and I’m from Alabama! Trixie and Cricket are a bonded pair so they will need to be adopted together. Trixie and Cricket’s owner passed away and they were brought to the local shelter. Trixie and Cricket are truly a dream team! They are the kindest, most affectionate little companions. Wherever you are, there they’ll be! They are quick to settle into a warm lap or lay by your feet. Cuddles and naps are their favorite pastimes. They require little more than food, love and affection. Trixie and Cricket haven’t shown much interest in going outside in the cold Minnesota winter, but I could imagine them romping outside in the summer sunshine. They are very small and will need supervision outside so that they remain safe from predators. Trixie is a bit more outgoing and rambunctious than Cricket who is light on her feet and quiet as a ninja. Together they make a great pair and they both have friendly temperaments. They have both had a “glow-up” since joining their foster. Trixie way spayed, had an abscess removed on her cute little tail, and had a full dental cleaning that resulted in 24 decaying teeth being pulled. She is now happy as a clam with the 4 teeth she has left. I swear she has the ability to smile and has a little raccoon in her. Her foster calls her a little woodland critter! Cricket was spayed and had a small mammary mass removed at the same time. She was such a trouper and we were glad to find out that the mass was benign. Cricket is so delicate and gentle and there is nothing better than watching her prance around happily. Cricket and Trixie have been both enjoying wet dog food and are currently working on potty training using puppy pads since they do not enjoy the cold. They haven’t met any children, but seem to be good tempered and would probably do well with children who were gentle with them. They get along well with the dogs they have met, but are pretty tiny so they need to be careful when bigger dogs want to play. They haven’t met a cat yet. The ideal owner for Trixie and Cricket would be around the home-front a lot, maybe working from home or retired. They would be ready to give love to two beautiful and resilient little girls and deserve to live the good life. When you wake up in the morning to their sweet little kisses tickling your nose, you’ll surely ask yourself, “how’d I get so lucky?” From the vet team: The vet team wants my future adopter to know that I have a grade 2/4 MPL (Medial patellar luxation). This is not causing me any issues at the moment so my future adopter should monitor with a primary vet. I recently had a mammary mass removed which came back as non-cancerous and a small mass on the top of my head evaluated. It is recommended my future adopters follow-up with my primary vet if it changes in size and monitor for any future mass development.
