Story
Toby needs a happy home! Toby came to me in December as a sick stray cat. He was terrified of people. After months of working with him and feeding him, he eventually became one of the sweetest cats I’ve seen. He enjoys baths and being drenched with the hose on a hot summer day, laps for really long naps, and lots of churros. Toby had stomatitis in his mouth and needed all his teeth removed. He now has his four front teeth. This does NOT hinder him, he just needs water to soften the food. He is also FIV positive but gets along with my cats and is not phased by dogs.

Story
Princess can be a dainty lady. Soft licks, gentle paws, and no tolerance for an untidy litterbox, but she's got an adventurous heart and loves to jump and climb her way to the highest place she can be. When she was younger, she was often lounging and looking down upon her siblings like the queen she thinks she is. She has always been a good playmate with her sisters, (we recommend adopting one of them as well if you are able). When she's done, though, napping in her human's lap is often where she wants to be. Her mother and four siblings showed up under our porch in early June, and we wanted to be sure they found good, safe homes instead of remaining strays. Princess is around 6 months old and is microchipped, spayed, vaccinated, and will be dewormed. The rehoming fee reflect half of that cost. She was tested negative for FIV and FLV, paid by us as a courtesy. Please consider adopting one of her sisters as well. We will drive to meet you if it means she will go to a good home!

Story
Rooney is as energetic as she is curious. For most of her life, it's been playtime all the time! Ever since we first met her, she's been a fairly brave kitten, especially if there was a chance to play. Over the last few weeks, she's been learning the joys of rubs and lap naps between her sessions chasing her toys and playing with her sisters. We believe that she would do best with another cat. Please consider also adopting her sister, Princess, as they are already great playmates! Her mother and four siblings showed up under our porch in early June, and we wanted to be sure they found good, safe homes instead of remaining strays. Rooney is around 6 months old and is microchipped, spayed, vaccinated, and will be dewormed. The rehoming fee reflect half of that cost.

Story
Ishka arrived at a friend’s house one night as a stray. I took her in to help out. She is now up-to-date on her shots, Ishka is healthy and spayed. She’s very playful and cuddly. I wasn’t originally planning on keeping her due to my work schedule and travel requirements. I intend to move in the next couple months and would like to find her a forever home! She is a wonderful and sweet young cat. I’ve used click training techniques to teach her to sit, follow, give her paw and jump on my shoulders when she’s too high up and can’t get down. She’s an excellent and quick learner! She is very food motivated so is easy to teach new tasks. She communicates likes and dislikes very consistently with pawing at the same items when she doesn’t want it. She likes her routine and I have not needed and alarm clock :) She really enjoys broth with her food, playing with water and catching bugs. She has lived indoors for the last 7 months and is about 1 year old.

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 of $140 includes spay/neuter, vet visits, deworming, and shots. ** Adoption Application: mercyrescue.org

Story
she’s definitely a cat with a personality. she’d be better in a home without any other pets. she likes the spotlight, it’s warm. she’s got a sore on her face and some hair loss that’s from itching because of fleas. i’m moving back home so i just don’t have the means to care for her and honestly i don’t think she’s happy with me anymore. i want her in a home that will love her perching on their shoulder and her dribbles of drools when you love on her. she’s a very good kitty so i hope you can find her a home just as good :)
