Meet Cricket ACCT-A-265085. Cricket was brought to ACCT on 10/16 after he was found laying on someone's porch. Cricket is believed to be around 4 years old. When he was brought in, our medical team noted that his face was swollen near his cheeks. When staff checked what could be causing the swelling in his face, it was found that this young is in heavy need of a full dental. Including some teeth that will need to be pulled due to the severity of his gums. Staff has been feeding him wet food so that he doesn't cause himself pain that he would have if he was eating dry kibble. This fluffy orange man just wants a soft place to eat his soft food. Can you offer him that space?

Per Staff 10/17:
I went to go check on this boy to get his glamor shot for his profile. When I located him, he was curled up in front of his kennel door as he had just come back from a vet exam. I very slowly opened his kennel to snap his pic. He lifted his head to see what i was doing, acknowledged me, and promptly went back to his nap.
