New Hanover animal control reached out to Feline Matchmakers with an SOS for Kricket. She was surrendered to the shelter by people who "couldnt afford" to keep her anymore. Unfortunatley for Kricket, this was a tragedy. She was completely freaked out in the small cage and could not be handled by staff. At a shelter, this only means one thing. So we jumped in and brought her in to our care. With a vet visit and some blood work, we found she had pancreatitus. We treated her and it made a world of difference in her attitude. Although she has certainly settled down in foster care, she is VERY uncomfortable around other cats. We feel she would do best as an only cat in her new home. Children would also freak her out. A very calm dog would not be a problem, as long as the dog ignores her. 

The pictures have Kricket on our kitchen counter because thats the only safe space for her in our foster home that is full of kittens. Her favorite place to be is on a window ledge and if she knows not to get on your counters from the start and has another safe place by a window, she will comply.

All Feline Matchmakers cats get age appropriate vaccinations, fixed, tested and microchipped prior to adoption. Please fill in our application via this link: http://www.felinematchmakers.org

We only adopt kittens and young cats out within a one hour radius of Wilmington, NC to those over 21 years old. Occasionally we make exceptions for adult cats, but we are not a transport company.
