Story
She showed up at our house meowing and hungry at approximately 5 months old. She was hunting to survive. I started feeding her and she was friendly but cautious. I made her a cat house outside and it was cold but she did well. We have 3 male cats inside and she had no vaccinations nor had been dewormed. I got her rabies vaccination and got her in to have her tested for feline hiv and spade, vaccinations, de-wormed and flea treatment. We have her inside and she is adjusting well from being an abandoned kitten outside. She does chase the male cats. She was pregnant when she was spayed 4 weeks ago. So it may be left over hormones. I would say starting out she needs to be an only cat. She is a cat that likes to purr and talk.She is a small framed cat with beautiful markings. Her stomach fur is growing in good from the surgery. I have thought long and hard about rehoming her and it's not easy. It has been a tough decision. She will be a great addition.

Story
Princess is not her official name. She is a beautiful indoor cat, playful, sweet, loves to be on top of you when there is a blanket. She is getting a little more vocal everyday. November 20th, 2023 is her birthday, born in Pennsylvania. The mother cat name is Salem or Stinky, a calico cat from MA. Her father cat is from RI, who is grey and white, named Fatty. I have raised her for the first few months of her life, and she is ready to go to a new loving and caring home. I have grown to love her so much, and hope her new family will too.

Story
Fredrico is a 3-year-old solid black cat. He is a BIG boy that loves people and likes to rub and give love bites. He is playful and funny. He gets a little bit overstimulated when he's around other cats and takes it out on his tail. He doesn't bite it but just gives it a good whomping, of course he lets out a huge scream just before he attacks it. We feel that Fredrico would do best in a home without other cats. He just needs his humans to boss around and nibble on. ** Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. ** Adoption application: mercyrescue.org

Story
Squeaks is a beautiful orange tabby male who was born around Jan 2023. He was found with a wound on his tummy which required surgery and brought into a foster home. Squeaks was born outdoors and is shy with new folks. He lives with his foster mom and dad and their two cats. He is devoted to his foster parents. Squeaks follows them around and is a real lap cat. He is playful and loving. He loves to play with the other two cats in the household. He likes toys and would do well with any family who puts in time to gain his trust. Orange cats are thought to be friendlier and more affectionate than other cats. They tend to be snuggly. Some orange tabbies are so affectionate that they are often cat-egorized as “velcro” kitties. **Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. ** Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org

Story
We rescued Lou from the animal protection society of Durham in early spring of 2018. They said she was about 6 months old so we estimate she was born in Oct 2017. She;s been a great cat for us, very cuddly (when it;s her idea). Since having our first child (and now with another on the way) she has struggled with the stress of new family member in the house and lack of attention and that has led us to look for a new home. Ideally the new family would be around the home often for her to have companionship and she would be the only pet (no cats or dogs).
