Meet Mermaid
Ever thought about having a baby but want to avoid the crying and constant care? We'll have we got the cat for you! Meet Mermaid! This August 2022 model of black domestic short hair sports cute ducky diaper, only operates in front wheel drive, so has some difficulty climbing large terrain such as stairs and furniture.

Not only will she waddle her way into your heart, but she will also grab your face for kisses and loves to be nestled in close to you. She's been baking biscuits since '22 and befriends every human she meets. She also loves a good feline friend and does well with dogs!

You can generally find her in places you would never expect her to be able to get to and scooching around with her cute limbs chugging along. That's right, the rear wheel drive does have feeling and moves but not enough to support her frame. You can generally see her operating these rear wheels when she is being expressed. Like she's running in places.

But wait, there's more! Not only does Mermaid come with all these amazing features but she is also the sweetest and most affectionate cat ever. You can't miss out on this lifetime and love and affection with just a bit of extra care.

Mermaid has hind limb paralysis due to a birth defect in her spine. Since Mermaid is paralyzed, she is both urine and fecal incontinent and needs to be expressed about 3 times a day (here's a little preview of how it works: https://fb.watch/aE0lgOKPjj/!). It's super easy though and she's a good sport! Best part? You'll never need a litter box! Learn more about taking care of kitties like her here:

Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity to find true love with the one and only Mermaid! Act now, supplies won't last long!
