My story

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

Mercury is a handsome, quicksilver gray boy with golden eyes and a smooth little purr. He’s super soft and hard to resist showering with affection; luckily he enjoys being kissed and picked up. That said, he does have his boundaries and may nip if he has had enough, so a family who understands kitty body language would be ideal for him. 

Mercury is currently a little cautious as he has recently been through changes and is learning to trust again. Even so, he has shown himself to be curious and playful. He enjoys the simple things like boxes, tunnels and wand toys. His favorite treat is a Churu which he would eat all day given the chance! When not being tempted by treats, he thoroughly enjoys a day spent sitting on a tall cat tree where he can watch birds and squirrels out the window. Mercury might take some time to warm up to new people, but once you get to know him he will show you love and affection!

Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped.

This cat is currently in a foster home. To meet the cat, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Our adoption application is on our website here:  www.thedancingcat.org/adopt
