Hopper & Cricket McLeod

Date of Birth: September 23, 2025

Sex: Male

Energy levels: Medium/High

Good with:

  • Cats: Yes! We both adore cats and would love a feline friend!
  • Dogs: Yes. We both love our resident basset hound as much as other kitties!
  • Kids: Unknown, we should be okay with respectful, patient kids, and a proper introduction.

Rescue Story: My mama had our siblings and us outside and a kind lady was feeding us and helping us out until CCE was contacted for help. CCE trapped us all and brought us in and now we are looking for our forever home!

About Us: Hi there! I’m Cricket, and if you’ve ever wanted a cat with built-in commentary, I’m your guy — just like a cricket, I’ll chirp your ear off!

I firmly believe silence is suspicious, so I’ll happily yell about everything — dinner being late, dinner being early, the audacity of you eating without me, or the injustice of a closed door. I have opinions, and you will hear them.

I’m also a world-class food hound. This isn’t a hobby — it’s a lifestyle. I will investigate your plate, consider your mouth a potential food source, and possibly sell you out for a snack.

Underneath the drama, I’m a total sweetheart. I adore other cats, happily welcomed the resident basset hound into my kingdom, and I’m a certified cuddle lover who can’t get enough pets. Plus, I have the cutest white nose — like I dipped it in milk.

I’m Hopper — Cricket’s softer, slightly more cautious shadow.

Where Cricket shouts, I observe. I might try to run away at first (mostly out of principle), but food is a powerful motivator, and I’ll absolutely appear when snacks are involved.

I’m shy and gentle, but I love other cats and the resident basset hound just as much as Cricket does. I also have a handsome dark nose that makes my sweet face extra expressive.

Most importantly, I’m deeply bonded to Cricket. I follow his lead, and we’re very much a packaged deal — a bold spokesperson and his quieter best friend.

With time, patience, and snacks, I blossom. I may not yell at you like Cricket does, but when I choose you, it’s pretty special.

Adopt us together and you get:
• One loud, food-obsessed entertainer
• One shy, loyal sidekick
• Double the tabby charm
• Two boys who already love cats — and dogs

Vetting: We are neutered, dewormed, microchipped and fully vaccinated

Adoption Fee: $250 for the purrfect brother duo
