Meet Mercury! Mercury may be a little shy when you first meet her, but don’t let that quiet first impression fool you—once she gets to know you, this sweet girl absolutely loves attention! She’ll happily soak up cheek and chin scratches and may even come running when she sees you because she knows it’s petting time. She’s a super sweet girl who truly loves her people.

Mercury is also a curious little explorer who loves keeping tabs on everything happening around the house. She enjoys climbing to new heights, checking out the view from the window, and investigating anything interesting that catches her attention.

One of Mercury’s funniest quirks? Her fascination with water! She loves supervising dish duty, climbing into the sink, and has been known to stick her paws—and even her head—into unattended glasses of water. She hasn’t quite figured out that running water can be a toy yet, but we have a feeling it’s only a matter of time!

Mercury would do best in a patient home that will give her a little time to warm up and build trust. She also definitely wants a feline friend—Mercury is not looking to be an only cat! Once she feels comfortable, her sweet and affectionate personality really shines, and she’ll be happy to show you just how much she loves being your girl.

Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats’ emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of “Single Kitten Syndrome” (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten’s most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
