Nillie is a delightful little rumpy Manx with a strikingly beautiful black-and-white coat. She was born about mid-June of 2006. "Lovable" and "sweet-natured" are two words that immediately come to mind when describing Nillie's personality. She quickly warms up to new people and is soon merrily telling them about her day. She also loves attention and to be petted, especially around her ears, a favorite spot for many cats.
Nillie is a wonderfully playful cat, especially enjoying little toy mice and any dangling toys. Interactive toys are a special treat, as she is thrilled when a human companion joins in the fun with her. A play session with Nillie can't help but bring laughter and lots of smiles, brightening your entire day. Another favorite pasttime is sitting by the window and watching any and all activity going on outside.
Nillie's house manners are excellent. She is very good about clawing on the provided scratch track and is a fastidious little lady when it comes to the litter box. As sometimes happens with cats, Nillie does not like the company of other cats. She loves the company of people! This makes her an ideal choice for any person, couple or family that wants only one pet to care for and love. In my opinion, Nillie would be a good choice for an older only child wanting a special feline companion. Nillie's very friendly and affectionate nature can't help but win your heart and all she really wants is a special person or family of her very own to love her and play with her.
Nillie is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Her adoption fee is $50.00

Alec and Evan have been adopted
Alec, Rhianna, Evan, and Mishka were dumped at a high kill shelter when their breeder was evicted. Their mother was a CFA registered Manx, their father was half Manx, half hybrid (who may have had any of the following breeds: Maine Coon, American Bobtail, Manx, Pixie-Bob), without the actual pedigree we don't know which. But the kids are adorable and at least 3/4 pure Manx. Alec, Rhianna, and Evan are stumpys, Mishka is a longy.
They were born about March 21, 2009 and are very outgoing and playful. Both girls will look you straight in the face and bounce up to you begging to play. Rhianna is blue classic tabby and white, Mishka is a blue classic tabby. They are well socialized and get along great with everyone.
They have their first vaccines, have been vetted, wormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and are FeLV negative. They were too young for a FIV test, but should be clean as they came from a breeder rather than as strays. Adoption fee $95 with a discount if 2 are adopted together.

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!
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.
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.

ADOPTED
Sabrina is a beautiful long haired tabby Manx (AKA Cymric). Because of her markings she looks like a miniature Maine Coon. Her paperwork from the shelter she was rescued from says she was born about 2-10-00, but she looks and acts younger. She's a rumpy riser Manx, and weighs about 7.5 pounds. She was turned in to a high kill shelter because her family had a new baby.
She is declawed in front. She's very loving and affectionate, quick to jump into your lap for a cuddle. She loves to be petted and also loves to play and play and play! Because she's declawed, she has a tendency to nip when she's had enough petting or would rather play, and so she would do best in a home without small children. She takes a while to warm up to strange cats, but given time to adjust she does fine with most of them. She can be very bossy with other female cats. She arrived with terrible skin allergies, but once she was treated for fleas it quickly went away.
She is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Her adoption fee is $50.
Devlin is a rare black Japanese bobtail born about July 2008. Rescued from a hoarder, he's bold, beautiful, and all boy. If you ever dreamed of a muscular hunk in glossy black leather, he may be the cat for you! He loves to be petted and will butt his head against your hand if you stop petting him. He has a very sleek textured coat and very long elegant legs. He and Casey are great together, but Devlin is very dominant with other cats so needs to find a home where he and Casey will be the only cats. He loves to knead and is very outgoing and playful.
He is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, neutered, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Adoption fee for Devlin and Casey together is $120. (reduced from $190 thanks to sponsors)

Casey is a rare black Japanese bobtail born about July 2008. Rescued from a hoarder, he's a little less self-assured than the other bobtails we have. He loves to be petted and will gently grasp your hand with his front paws and pull it towards him if you stop petting him. He loves you to talk sweet to him and will flop over and start kneading the air just from the sound of your voice. He is a rounder and softer cat than Devlin, with more gold in his eyes. He's great with other cats, but bonded to Devlin and we'd like them to be adopted together.
He is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, neutered, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Adoption fee for Devlin and Casey together is $120. (reduced from $190 thanks to sponsors)

Born about January 2007 and weighing about 7 1/2 pounds, Tara is an attractive, short haired, rumpy riser Manx. Trapped as a stray, she was sent to a high-kill shelter. Much to my surprise the shelter actually held Tara for several weeks so that TCR could rescue her! Unfortunately, that shelter overlooked a serious bladder infection, which left Tara in a great deal of pain and stress during those weeks. TCR noticed the problem the day of her arrival and had her immediately treated; she is now recovered. Life in general must have been difficult for Tara prior to coming to TCR. Though very much wanting love and affection, she is timid and easily frightened, taking several days to warm up to strange people.
Tara is good with most other cats and as we hoped, socializing with the other cats at TCR is helping to ease some of her fears and timidness. Being around kind and caring people has also inspired Tara to become a wonderful lap cat Whether I put Tara in my lap or she comes into my lap on her own, she relishes the attention and being petted. She is still nervous, though, a strange noise last night sending her leaping off my lap and running to hide. She will still occasionally swat or hiss. However, considering her state when she first arrived at TCR, this pretty little lady is making wonderful progress!
Tara is going to need a kind and understanding person with lots of patience and love to lavish on her. Are you that special someone that can help Tara learn to fully trust again and feel safe and secure?
Tara is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative. Her adoption fee is $110.
