Here's what the humans have to say about me:
SPECIAL SENIOR ADOPTION REQUEST
Mercedes came to SOAR when her senior dad was hospitalized and became homeless. He moved to the congregate site, which transparently became anti-animal. He arrived with Mercedes sitting in her bed in the front seat, unexpected and unannounced.
Since then, dad has had medical issues, not been connected to a caseworker that helps him with housing, and unfortunately it has now been more than 90 days since we have been able to make contact.
She hates other animals. Even their presence makes her unhappy. She loves all people and being touched, pet. She does require some daily brushes, and some occasional eye ointment for environmental allergies - but is otherwise medication free. She uses her box like a lady, and naps most of the day. She just wants a human who wants to pet her, provide her a choice of elevated soft places to sleep, and at least a can of wet food per day. She likes to graze on dry.
We are located in Indianapolis, but would take her anywhere in the United States where there is a screened applicant willing to spoil her rotten. PLEASE NOTE: She DOES NOT WANT TO LIVE WITH OTHER PETS - No exceptions.
