Sailor Mercury is a gentle little soul who is still learning that the world can be a safe place. She’s the shyest of her siblings and prefers to observe from the sidelines before deciding it's time to join the fun. New people and unfamiliar environments can feel overwhelming at first, so she likes to find a cozy hiding spot while she takes everything in. But beneath that cautious exterior is a sweet kitten who simply needs a little patience and understanding. As she grows more confident, her curious side begins to peek through, and watching her take those brave little steps is incredibly rewarding. Sailor Mercury is looking for a calm, loving home that will let her settle in at her own pace. For the person willing to give her the time she needs, you'll have the privilege of watching a timid kitten blossom into a confident, loving companion. Sometimes the quietest hearts have the most love to give. Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.
