DESCRIPTION
Momma Mercury is a 3-year-old female calico Domestic Shorthair who came to the shelter as a stray on 5/21/26 alongside her six adorable 3-week-old kittens.
This beautiful little family found themselves in the shelter after Momma Mercury was discovered trying to keep her babies safe out on a porch. Understandably, shelter life has been overwhelming for her - she's been very shy, nervous, and unsure of all the sudden changes around her. Despite her fear, she's clearly devoted to her kittens and spends her days focused on caring for them.
Momma Mercury is looking for a calm, patient foster or rescue placement where she can finally relax and raise her babies in peace. With time, quiet, and gentle understanding, we believe this sweet momma will begin to feel safe again. Right now, what she needs most is a soft place to land while her tiny family grows strong.
