Manx for the Memories Manx Austin, TX

Curious, Friendly, Playful

With Manx for the Memories, you're actually getting part kitty, part bunny! This adorable, friendly guy hops around like a bunny and even has a cute little bunny tail to match! Manx is super sweet and loves people. He has become his foster's shadow, since he loves to follow her around and prefers not to be alone.

Manx doesn't let his bunny-hop gait stop him from playing and running around! He loves playing with catnip toys and his fishing pole and often gets the zoomies. He will make little noises when he's playing or wants attention as his way of telling you how excited or happy he is!

Manx is actually a Manx cat, a tail-free orange tabby boy who is extra cute and fuzzy. Along with being a Manx he was born with Manx Syndrome, which means his spine and spinal nerves didn't develop normally; he needs his human to press gently on his bladder twice a day to "express" it and help him go pee. It is super easy once you get the hang of it, and APA! will show you how!

Since he's incontinent, Manx requires some extra medical care, which right now includes a regulated diet and manual expression. His foster has him eating Science Diet Gastrointestinal Biome food twice a day and he takes Prazosin twice daily as well. Manx takes his meds no problem and is also super easy to express as long as he's focused on his Churu treat! This routine has been working great for him and his foster! For more information, please contact APA!

In foster, Manx lives with another foster kitty and the resident cat and German Shepherd. He loves playing and hanging out with the other foster kitty, but he's gotten the memo that the resident cat isn't super friendly. Manx also likes the dog but hasn't tried to play or cuddle with him.

The perfect forever home for Manx is one with people who can continue his routine, which is working great for him (and it's so easy), as well as give him lots of love and attention! He would happily live with other cats and most dogs, but he's really all about his people and just wants to be wherever you are. If you want to meet this little bunny-cat, ask to set up a meet and greet!
