Kricket	Est. DOB: 3/10
	Kricket was rescued from a local animal shelter on the day she was scheduled to be euthanized. After a visit to a veterinarian, we learned that Kricket was born with congenital defects in her hips and knees Surgery would have been too expensive ($12,000) and too painful for her. However, an alternative to surgery was stem cell therapy (using her own stem cells). Her foster “mother” personally raised the $800 needed for this surgery, which was completed in April. Kricket is doing fantastic! She is running and playing like any other cat! She is a very sweet and playful kitty. She would do well as an only cat or with a “younger” cat to play with. Kricket will need need to be on a joint supplement (over the counter) and Science Diet prescription food for life. She is ready for her permanent, loving home.

Diego and Rainbow	Est. DOB: 2/27/11
Diego Rainbow	Diego and Rainbow are two special needs kittens. They are especially affectionate and sweet, but they have tested positive for feline leukemia (FeLV). They should not be adopted into a home with other cats; however, they can not transmit the virus to humans or canines. They can lead long lives with good nutrition, regular medical care and a low stress home. Diego loves to explore and is very adventurous, Rainbow can be more hesitant at first. They really are playful, curious and cuddly balls of fur. Both kittens love to play and then snuggle in your arms for a nice nap. Love purring? Diego and Rainbow purr loudly when they are playing and cuddling. These two would be grateful to be adopted together. You will be rewarded with two great kitten companions. Fill out a pre-adopt here if you are interested in being their special family.
