?Mercury: the smallest, steadfast planet in our solar system, as well as the swiftest among the Roman Gods - an associate of the Underworld. 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. 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. 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. • 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. Est. DOB May 2025, he is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested FIV/Felv negative. 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. 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. 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. 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). 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.
