About Mercedes

Mercedes is an adult female cat who has endured quite a journey. For eight long years, she lived confined in a cage and suffered a broken leg that required surgery with pins. Fortunately, her rescue team recently removed those pins, but she will always walk with a slight limp. Mercedes is sweet yet quiet; she enjoys her solitude but loves to be near you, often laying on your feet for warmth. She may need a little help getting onto the bed using doggie stairs, but once settled, she's a gentle companion. If you're interested in giving this loyal girl a forever home, reach out to learn more. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
