Looking for a forever home: Penticton’s pet of the week

Kricket was taken into the Penticton shelter after being left behind by his owner.

His initial reaction is to hiss but once you pet him he sure turns on the charm.

He is the sweetest boy and loves to receive kisses and be cuddled.

He has a loud purr and will be a purrfect addition to any loving home.

He is used to going outside but the SPCA hopes in his new home he will want to stay inside.

Kricket is an amazing boy that would love a home before the holidays.
