Mercury was found with his horrific injuries when he was just four days old – his eyes weren’t even open yet.

His owners suspect that he must have been injured by a weed whacker. After taking him to a vet, they continued to care for him and tend to his wounds.

Mercury won’t be able to get prosthetics because he would need at least 40% of his limbs remaining.

He may be able to get a wheel harness when he stops growing, but for now, it doesn’t look like his injuries are slowing him down much – in videos uploaded to his Raising Mercury fan page on Facebook, it’s clear that he plays just as hard as all the other kitties.
