Raising Mercury

Mercury was found at a little over 5 ounces, with his eyes still shut, missing both front legs and all but one toe on one of his back legs. We brought him in to bottle feed, and this is his journey.

Mercury is taking a quick day nap. All of our hours are messed up with everyone at home. Our thoughts to all of our friends. Please take care of yourselves. #Mercury #TRexKitty #CoronaQuarantine2020 #CoronaSucks #WeWillOvercomeThis (at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-qOh_ch6YM/?igshid=gmdw5071mkk4

#tbt Even as a kitten, Mercury always had that fighting spirit and never gave up. #SeemsSoLongAgo #TRexKitty #twoleggedcat #nevergiveup #SurprisedMe https://www.instagram.com/p/B791-8Fh3nR/?igshid=tqf9n4wlt8eh

#tbt to when Mercury was a sweet baby, instead of a rampaging T-Rex. Thank you also to everyone that followed the link to Weruva yesterday and put in the rescue we foster for, the Community Cat Coalition of Edmond, for a chance to win a year worth of cat food. The rescue is small, and entirely volunteer based, so it would be huge for the rescue to win something like that. I can't even begin to describe how many boxes of Weruva's Jeopurrdy Licious food we personally buy to help wean our bottle baby kittens, on top of a wide variety of their other foods we buy for the bigger kittens and cats in our care. #TRexKitty #twoleggedcat #JustABaby #SeemsSoLongAgo https://www.instagram.com/p/B61l3-rhMLZ/?igshid=1ik6kyiap9h5r

Hey everyone, we have a big favour to ask! Could you please follow the link below and comment Community Cat Coalition of Edmond? The rescue we foster for is in the running to win some cat food from Weruva, a food we personally feed to our cats (both personal and foster cats) all the time. Thank you so much! Hope you all have a wonderful New Year! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157708660346181&id=49654036180 (at Edmond, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6yTzx8hLQs/?igshid=r74agmfon65j

The human must have offended the T-Rex, because he came to me for his evening cuddles instead 😹😹 #TRexKitty #snugglecat #snuggles #NapTime (at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6KUlo3hL3V/?igshid=pmskt836xyr2

There is a super excited T-Rexy in the house, playing with some new toys and catnip. He hopes everyone is enjoying themselves as much as he is. #Mercury #TRexKitty #twoleggedcat #HappyThanksgiving #NewToy #HappyCat #CatnipFrenzy https://www.instagram.com/p/B5bGDn-h75O/?igshid=15z34ngcp18vn

Mercury always has some demands, and his human is a softy. This time it was one of his favorites, a bit of whipped cream. #Mercury #TRexKitty #twoleggedcat #cats_of_instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B234GGchJq2/?igshid=1an6xew501ywh

This is the first video we took of Mercury, a few days after we got him. He was already figuring out how to wiggle off his heating pad to come get his kitten milk, and his eyes were just starting to open. #tbt #Mercury #TRexKitty #catstagram #cats_of_instagram #KittensOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B2VX62khgbf/?igshid=lo4cmb0aizaq

Rarely captured video of the #TRexKitty working out! For being something of a couch potato most of his time, he still has some moves. #Mercury #twoleggedcat #workingout #GoingFast #cats_of_instagram #coicommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/B2T4jCCBc0E/?igshid=q3aa29vyz2jz

The human needed a cat pillow and blanket in order to take a nap, obviously. #Mercury #TRexKitty #twoleggedcat #NapTime #CatNap #catstagram #cats_of_instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B2LWlG2hYhy/?igshid=1vgwy69n8p7mh
