Kiera is a cute, petite, stumpy bobtail Manx, who weighs only about 6 pounds. She was born around February 1, 2007 and was rescued from a shelter where the conditions were so horrible that the state shut it down! Kiera arrived terrified and thin, but quickly recovered. She's blossomed into a very sweet-natured and affectionate cat, who adores being petted. When given attention, Kiera paces back and forth emitting a HUGE purr for such a little lady! She likes to sleep on you in bed. She also loves to curl up on a lap, and doesn't mind sharing the lap with another cat if necessary.

Kiera also interacts well with all the other foster and resident cats at TCR, she's never met a cat she didn't like on first sight. She needs to be in a home with at least one other cat as she enjoys the company of other cats and loves to play tag with them. She's unconcerned about dogs.

Kiera has a chronic gum inflammation known as "gingivitis". This is not the same as "stomatitis". She has had a teeth cleaning and 4 teeth removed, but because of a reaction to the anesthetic the vet does not recommend any more dental work. She's eating canned food just fine, it just means she may lose her teeth earlier than other cats...not a problem since she loves canned food and can eat it with or without teeth.

Kiera's sweet and affectionate nature would make her a welcome addition to just about any home with a quiet environment. In my opinion, very young children might prove too much for this gentle little lady
She is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Thanks to a sponsor, her adoption fee is reduced from $140 to $75.

Born about January 2007 and weighing around 7 1/2 pounds, Tara is an attractive, short haired, rumpy riser Manx. She's a true blue and white tuxedo. Trapped as a stray, she was sent to a high-kill shelter, which much to my surprise actually held Tara for several weeks so that TCR could rescue her!

She arrived with a serious bladder infection which has been treated and is now gone. She does still eat a special urinary diet with supplements, just to make sure that she doesn't develop a problem again. It also keeps her from having constipation problems, something not unusual with rumpy risers.

Tara is good with most other cats, but I think would also do OK as an only cat. Although she was timid when she first arrived, she now is happy to jump up on the couch next to strangers and be petted. She's very much a lap cat, loving to be stroked and just to lay on you while you watch TV. She also sleeps in bed with me every night.

Tara is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/ FIV negative. Thanks to a sponsorship, her adoption fee is reduced from $110 to $60.

Neko is a rare black Japanese Bobtail born about 3-27-2008. He was rescued from a hoarding situation with 70+ cats in a 5 room house. A handsome fellow with his sleek black coat and golden eyes, Neko is an excellent example of just how wonderful solid black cats can be. He is very friendly and affectionate, loving attention and being petted. He might even turn out to be a cuddly lap cat once in a loving home. Neko is definitely quite the charmer! An active and playful cat, he is curious about his surroundings and does well with other cats. He needs a home with at least one other cat buddy. He also loves to play fetch.

Like many bobtail cats, Neko has a tendency towards constipation so needs a high fiber food. He's doing very well on Iams Hairball and weight control food. If a handsome, affectionate and playful fellow of exotic ancestry strikes your fancy, then Neko is definitely one for you to consider!

He is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, neutered, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. His adoption fee is $50.

Nimbus is a beautiful grey and white girl, somewhere between short haired and medium haired. She was born about July 2005 and weighs about 8 pounds. She is very loving, kneading every chance she gets, and raising up on her hind legs to rub her head against your hand. She also has the biggest, most beautiful eyes I've seen on a non-Manx cat. Ok, you guessed it, she has a tail. But don't let that stop you, she's a very special girl.

We don't know how she came to be alone outside, skinny and hungry, but it's obvious she was well loved at some point. It won't take long for good food to put a sleekness back in her coat. She's adorable, she'll sit up on her hind legs and beg for her food bowl at feeding times and she likes to talk. She doesn't meow though, she chirps and trills so it almost sounds like she's singing to you. She gets along fine with other cats, but would be fine as an only cat as well.

Nimbus is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Thanks to a sponsor her adoption fee is only $50 and includes registration of her microchip.

Becca is a liittle brown tabby girl born about February 2009. She has a cute little bobtail, which appears to be the result of an injury sometime in her past. TCR was asked to rescue this "Manx" from a shelter, by the time we discovered she wasn't a natural bobtail it was too late, we couldn't send her back to die.

She's very affectionate and likes to push her face against yours. She has a great purr, and is petite, around 7 pounds.

She is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped and is FeLV/FIV negative. Her adoption fee is $125.

She'd love to find a foster home, if anyone would like to foster, please contact us.

Born about 4-13-2009, Reilly is a a semi-long haired tabby and white stumpy Manx. With that eye liner and those tufted ears, he's one of the prettiest cats I've seen. OK, pretty isn't allowed for a boy? Then he's smokin'.

He also has a wonderful personality, and he loves to be petted. He's good with most other cats and dogs, and he likes to play. He does have very mild cerebral hypoplasia. When he wants to jump up on something like a bed or sink he can, he just has to think about it a little longer than most cats. Most of the time he copes fine, although once in a while his back end just doesn't go quite where he intended it to go. Like most cats with CH he's a happy boy, very sweet and purry. And like some CH cats, he doesn't quite get the litterbox. He uses it most of the time, but sometimes he doesn't. He'll need a very special and loving new home.

Reilly is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, neutered, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Thanks to a sponsor, his adoption fee is reduced from $90 to $65.

Born about May 2008, Merlin is a beautiful rumpy riser Manx that looks like he might be mixed with Maine Coon. A very nice lady rescued Merlin from a high kill shelter, then helped get him to TCR, even though we were a 4 hour drive apart.
Merlin is a sweet boy with people, he likes to cuddle in laps. He also loves to be petted around the head and neck, but please don't mess with the rumpy riser behind! He also adores playing, flipping catnip toys about, racing over to pounce on them, and flipping them again for another chase. He likes to be brushed and loves to have his chest massaged.
Somewhere during his past, Merlin's bottom jaw was broken. The vet says it shouldn't give him any problems, and removed one broken tooth when he was neutered, but it does give an undershot jaw look to his face. Merlin does not like dogs, but gets along fine with other cats.

Merlin is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, neutered, microchipped and is FeLV/FIV negative. His adoption fee is $120

Born about October 2009, Serena is an adorable little tortoiseshell Manx. She was rescued from a hoarding situation where she spent all her time in a cage. So she is much smaller than you'd expect for her age. She actually qualifies as a "tea cup Manx" she is so small.

Serena adores laps, and likes to curl up next to you in bed also. She will play with your fingers when you are typing on the computer, but also likes to play with toys and other cats.

She is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped and is FeLV/FIV negative. Thanks to a sponsor, her adoption fee is reduced from $175 to $125.

Born about June 2009, Sierra is a pretty calico stumpy Manx. She was rescued from a hoarding situation where she spent all her time in a cage. So she is much smaller than you'd expect for her age. She probably will never quite catch up, so will always be a "mini-Manx", although she qualifies as a tea cup Manx now.

Sierra likes to snuggle in bed at night, and also likes to play with toys. She'll frequently come up to lay near you, but she's not yet a lap cat. After some time to get to know them, she gets along fine with other cats. She is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped and is FeLV/FIV negative. Her adoption fee is $115.
