Story
Cricket grew up on the road as part of a carnival sideshow act known as The Ventrilocats. It was a family act, and Cricket was one of 10 siblings famous for their vocalizations. She enjoyed it as a child, but once she hit adulthood, she'd had enough of the traveling lifestyle. Now with us, this confident, outgoing girl has discovered that the good life consists of a warm home. She hasn't lost her performer-level energy--she still loves to play with her humans and explore--but once she gets her energy out, she'll happily curl up on the bed with purrs and loving blinks. She also still loves to talk! She'll use her voice daily to let you know her thoughts, especially telling you that you're her person and she's going to stay close to you (or asking you why you're in the shower). Don't be a dummy, give Salem a chance to win your heart today! Primary Color: Brown Tabby Age: 1yrs 0mths 2wks

Nacho has the cutest face and beautiful orange markings on his tummy. Nacho is more on the timid side and will take some time to warm up to you. But with time and patience, Nacho will show you his sweet and soft demeanor. Nacho is bravest at treat and dinner time and uses his voice to make himself known! He loves spending time with his brother Monterey Jack and is loving towards other cats. He is the sweetest love bug! Primary Color: Orange Tabby Secondary Color: White Age: 0yrs 8mths 0wks
