If you'd like to meet Mercedes, please read his full profile. Once you've done that and would like to move forward, we ask that you then visit our website to review our adoption process and requirements and schedule an on-site appointment. www.ggohinc.com
Mercedes and his sister Porsche came to us as strays, trapped by one of our volunteers who noticed them hanging out behind her apartment complex. There were several cats in the area that were making their presence known so we assume they were strays that had wandered in from a local colony.
Mercedes is friendly but shy and needs an adopter who is willing to work with him at his pace and not be frustrated easily if he takes more time to come out of his shell than expected (the adopter's expectations, not ours). We know that Mercedes will need time, love, and patience. We also know that Mercedes needs a kitty companion as that will ease his transition into a new home so he either needs to go to a home with another cat that will accept him or, be adopted with another cat from us that he is accustomed to - the obvious choice his is sibling, Porsche.
We think Mercedes would do fine in a home with dogs - well behaved dogs, not ones who like to chase kitties). We also believe he would do fine with older children who can understand his need to go slow (at least at first), but toddlers might be too much for him.
Mercedes really is a sweet young fella. If he has caught your attention, why not come in and meet him and see if you feel a connection with him. He has so much potential! (Side note, Porsche is also a bit nervous and shy with strangers. They are both, however, deserving of loving, forever homes!)
Mercedes has an approx. DOB of 6/12/2022.

More about this rescue
Established in 2003, we are a no-kill rescue/re-home program that takes in abandoned, homeless and unwanted animals. We work tirelessly to find new, permanent homes for our rescues. Our program's Director began this journey when our county's humane society was closed down.
A note from our Director:
"I have been a lifelong rescuer; all of my pets (currently, 10 dogs and 5 cats) are rescue animals. They mean the world to me and I want to help as many animals as I can while I am on this earth. Back in 2003, I gathered together many animal lovers in the area and we started our rescue efforts; we've continued to grow over time and are now operating as a 501c3 organization, which has helped us strengthen our efforts to save the animals. We want to see that no animal goes without love, shelter, food or a happy life. We work on educating the public about the overpopulation problem, we promote spay/neuter programs, and we do group tours at our facility to teach about the rescue re-home world. To get our youth community involved, we visit schools to teach about responsible pet ownership, animal abuse and neglect, and what they as an animal advocate can do to help prevent these tragedies. We are proud of what we do here at our rescue and we believe it is our job to protect those that speak another language and quite honestly, we just could not imagine a world without them. I invite you to join our efforts by becoming a sustainable monthly donor, a volunteer with our program or, simply to be another voice for the animals. Contact us today to find out how you can help."
