China is a beautiful black and white Manx cat about 2 years old. She's incredibly affectionate, and loves to be held and cuddled. She's the kind of cat you pick up to hold and pet and wait for her to want down, and wait, and wait, and 20 minutes later you are still holding her and scratching her head and she's very happy!
She's spayed, vaccinated, FeLV/FIV negative, and ready for a new home. She has a mild harelip that has resulted in her looking like she has 3 nostrils. This doesn't affect her health or behavior at all.  For more information please e-mail

Kiera is a tiny little stumpy bobtail Manx who weighs about 6 pounds.  She was born about February 1, 2007.  She was rescued from a shelter where conditions were so horrible that the state shut it down.  She arrived terrified and thin, but quickly came around and is a real lover.  She adores being petted and will pace back and forth with a huge purr.   She is very good with other cats.  She does have gingivitis, the vet has checked her and thinks she can be kept comfortable with a little prednisone, and it should resolve over time with no surgery or cleanings needed. It does make her prone to drool when she purrs, or maybe that's just because she's so happy to be petted.

She is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative.  Her adoption fee is $140.

Buster is a handsome brown tabby and white bobtail around 5 years old.  He was a stray that a couple rescued and brought to TCR.  To be honest, he appears to be a short haired cat who lost most of his tail in an accident, but we've decided to make him an honorary Manx because he has such an incredible personality.  He's very loving, he adores being petted and he gets so excited when he sees you that he even trills.  He has beautiful green eyes, but it's hard to get a picture of them since he's so happy to have attention that he squints them.  He is very good with other cats, playing gently even with cats half his size.  Buster does not like dogs and needs a home without them.

He is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, neutered, microchipped, and is FeLV/FIV negative.  His adoption fee is $95.

Vanna is an adorable pure white Manx mix.  She looks like she was born about May, 2007.  She's somewhere between a stumpy and a longy (a halfy?), but her last litter of kittens was half rumpys so we can be pretty sure she's part Manx.  She's very affectionate, loves to be petted and she rolls about on the floor to try and talk you into petting her.  She's also very playful.  She weighs about 6-6.5 pounds.  She's very kitten-like in both looks and behavior.  She adores cuddling, a true lap cat (or chest cat if you'll lie down and let her lay on your chest).   She adores kittens, but prefers a slower introduction with adult cats, however given time to adjust she then does fine with them.

She was dumped at a shelter, and a couple days later had a litter of 4 kittens.  But she developed an infection and had to be spayed and the kittens were bottle raised.

She is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative.   Her adoption fee is $140.00

Say hello to Nillie!  She is a beautiful black and white rumpy Manx born about mid-June 2006, very lovable and full of energy. She's a little shy at first but warms up pretty quick and loves to tell you all about her day. Nillie enjoys playing with her little toy mice, her scratch track and any dangling toys as long as you're there to share the fun; she also loves to sit by the window and watch anything and everything. She loves to be petted, escpecially around the ears, and will give you a tap when she's had enough. Nillie doesn't like other animals, so needs to be an only fur kid, but other than that she's a very sweet girl who just wants some people to play with.

She is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative.   Her adoption fee is $75.00
Born about January 2007 and weighing about 7 1/2 pounds, Tara is an attractive, short haired, rumpy Manx.  Trapped as a stray, she was sent to a high-kill shelter.  Amazingly, they actually held her 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.  Luckily, 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.

We'll never know exactly what happened to this pretty little lady, but whatever she experienced has left Tara very distrustful of human hands.  You can sit on the floor with your hands hidden and she'll come out and roll around acting cute, rubbing against your feet and elbows and back.  Yet, if you pull your hands out, Tara panics and will often scratch in fear.  Then again, if you can catch hold of her, she becomes submissive and allows you to place her in your lap, where she seems to enjoy being petted.

Though not yet allowed to interact with the other foster cats, Tara can see them and does not appear to be bothered by their presence.  We're hoping that successful socializing with the other cats will help to ease some of her fears and timidness.

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 trust again and be the affectionate companion that she yearns to be?

Tara is vaccinated, vetted, wormed, spayed, microchipped, and FeLV/FIV negative.  Her adoption fee is $110.
