Amazingly, Mercury survived a painful accident and was rushed to veterinary care soon after he was found. In no time, Mercury also found a loving forever home with two animal lovers in the neighborhood.

Since his arrival in their lives and his subsequent foray into the Internet via Facebook and YouTube, he has become an instant star.

Currently, Mercury has over 55,000 followers on Facebook alone and that number is growing everyday as more hear of his remarkable and inspiring story.

While Mercury is considered a special needs cat, he isn’t letting his disability and limited range of motion hold him back. He has his eyes set on being like any other cat, and proves it to the world through the video footage below, courtesy of his guardians.
