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' 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. She is around 7 months old and is microchipped, spayed, vaccinated, and dewormed. The rehoming fee reflects half of that cost. She was tested negative for FIV and FLV, paid by us as a courtesy. She can be a dainty lady with her soft licks and gentle paws, but she's got an adventurous heart and loves to jump and climb her way to the highest place she can be. She’s eternally curious about what her humans are doing, and she loves attention and rubs! One of her favorite pastimes right now is watching birds outside the window. She has always been a good playmate with her sisters, (we recommend adopting Rooney as well if you are able). When it’s time to rest, she often wants to be in your lap. 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's 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 7 months old and is microchipped, spayed, vaccinated, and dewormed. The rehoming fee reflects half of that cost. She was tested negative for FIV and FLV, paid by us as a courtesy. 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 is food or chance to play. In the last few months, she's learned the joys of rubs and lap naps between her sessions chasing her toys and playing with her sisters. (Please consider also adopting her sister, Princess, as they are already great playmates!) She loves chasing a wand toy! 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
We found George as a stray and began feeding him. We caught him and found that he was spayed as part of a capture and release program operating locally. One day he decided to come in and was so loving with us we decided to keep him. But shortly after coming in he began to be aggressive with our other cats. They are afraid of him and in hiding most of the day. Our cats are older so they do not react well to George's aggressiveness, which is so different than how he acts with us. He sits in our laps and purrs and follows us everywhere. He's a spunky young boy and has his moments with cords, he likes to knaw them, and he likes to scratch things other than scratchers. But he is mostly a good boy, just cant interact with my other cats peacefully. He needs a good home and we cannot take him to the pound because we love him but we cannot let this go on. He would make a great kitty for a single cat home.

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
We have owned Rory since he was a kitten. He is incredibly affectionate, calm and friendly. Rory loves sitting on your lap or sleeping with you, and enjoys playing as well. He's very well behaved, really a perfect cat! Our highly-sensitive toddler is nervous around cats (no incidents ever), and with lifestyle changes, we are too busy to give Rory the attention we feel he deserves. A few months ago, he started chewing the fur off his belly. The vet says there are no obvious health indicators, but he may be feeling anxiety, or have some kind of allergies. We have recently switched his food (info below), and it does seem like he is chewing his fur less. We think Rory will be happier in another home, with a family that can give him a little more attention.
