Mercury (bonded with Stuart)'s Story

?Mercury: the smallest, steadfast planet in our solar system, as well as the swiftest among the Roman Gods - an associate of the Underworld. <br/><br/>This little spitfire is amongst the sweetest of felines. Found cowering behind a snow shovel on the back porch of a Good Samaritan in Stoughton, Mercury endured a hellish early childhood - separated from his mother, harrowingly avoiding death’s cold grasp in the talons of a bird of prey, and finding himself petrified, starved, and sickly. <br/><br/>Through his fostering journey, Mercury began to grow (Mom said the tapeworms cannot rule the ruins) rather quickly, and with it, his personality began to blossom; a uniquely vocal, saucy, sweet handsome devil with a breathtaking coat (a medium haired chocolate color, with slivers of silver/gray tabby markings on his backside). He requires constant praise and affection - despite his playful nature, he can be quite shy in new surroundings, and has a tendency to quicken himself to seek out the smallest areas under the couch and recliner. Patience and perseverance are key. <br/><br/>Although he has been around other pups, he has quickly proven he is not fond of them. I do genuinely believe that a pup who has the patience of a saint would be okay (or one that believes that they, too, are felines trapped in the wrong body). Other felines has been a work in progress: he enjoys the company of other cats - especially those who are not aggressive/dominant. His best friend, Stuart (another foster) is his entire world. Mercury is typically found close by Stuart (whether that be snuggling/sleeping, leading Stuart around via chirping, eating, or roughhousing) - thus, finding a home with another feline OR with Stuart is a must. <br/><br/>• Favorite toys: glitter balls to carry about, crinkly balls (he shares with Stuart - despite him having very limited vision:blind, Stuart fetches), lasers, wand toys, cardboard to destroy.<br/><br/>Est. DOB May 2025, he is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested FIV/Felv negative. <br/>Mercury has permanent scarring in his left eye due to a complex ulcer due to herpes virus. It does not affect his vision (thus far), and causes no issues. <br/>He also has significant striated scarring on his side - the fur is growing back in slowly but surely. It is believed that he was picked up by a bird of prey and survived the attack.<br/><br/>Please note that the Misfit Felines policy requires that young kittens will either need a sibling to go home with or there must be another playful/young feline already in the home.<br/><br/>Adopters will also receive an adoption package of goodies valued at around $100 if you visit one or both of our pet store partners after adoption (Tabby & Jacks and/or All Paws). <br/><br/>Misfit Felines Inc is a foster based 501(c)3 rescue. All of our cats are in foster homes. The first step in the adoption process is to submit an application. <br/><br/>Apply: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/MFR/Cat
