My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mercy has established solace in her name as she has found compassion on two occasions -- 1) when a compassionate citizen picked her up from the highway after being hit by a vehicle and took Mercy for medical care, and 2) when a compassionate foster volunteer brought Mercy to a home environment upon the request of an animal clinic when her caretaker requested Mercy be euthanized because she has a compromised immune system. Mercy is shy and reserved; she will need to establish compassion and trust with her new human companion. Her relationship will be built upon assurance, certainty, confidence and patience along with time. Mercy is laid back, quiet and fond of petting. She is pleased by laying in cardboard boxes or adores a window seat. Mercy prefers to move around on 4-powered paws than being carried from place-to-place. Her safety zone is under a bed when she feels threatened. Mercy's ideal home is one with a calm environment where she will be the only indoor feline; a home where Mercy can explore freely at her own pace. She is a great companion cat for someone who doesn't need a velcro kitty! Mercy is 6 years old and has a tortoiseshell pattern with white. She has an immunodeficiency virus (FIV) that may lead to increased susceptibility to infections. Mercy currently does not have clinical signs of the virus.
