Story
Roberta is a beautiful young Manx cat which means she was born without a tail. She is friendly and playful. Roberta gets along well with other cats. She is the sweetest little girl and would make a great addition to your family. Apply today to adopt Roberta! Adoption fee: $175 (Includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, worming, and FeLV/FIV test - over $350 worth of veterinary care!) Go to www.ColumbusPetRescue.com to begin the adoption process today. We have invested time, money, and care into our feline friends and want to ensure they never have to be abandoned again. Click on "available pet" and scroll down to find the adoption application. After filling out an application, e-mail it to ColumbusPetRescue@gmail.com. We will process your information and check veterinary and other references. Finally you may be scheduled for a home visit to make sure the environment is perfect for your new family member. Once you are approved, the process is simple: choose your new cat, meet and greet him or her, and, if all goes well, you have yourself a new pet. (All cats will be spayed or neutered before going to their new home.) E-mail your application to ColumbusPetRescue@gmail.com today! We only adopt within the state of Ohio.

Story
Purrnado... Part tornado, part purr... He is a VERY vocal boy, loves to talk to you even though he seems to be entirely deaf -- he has learned to live with other cats and does very well with others. Purrnado sleeps like the dead, he is an incredibly sound sleeper. He definitely likes to be around people, and loves his special cushion where he naps the better part of the day. He LOVES the vacuum and will follow you around, simply fascinated. He looks like a bobtail kitty, but we believe that his tail is short due to an injury a long time ago. He does have a puffy nose that we haven't found an explanation for, but definitely gives him some character. He is estimated to be about 6 years old, and has a $100 adoption fee. All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized. If you would like to adopt, please fill out the application through the link or the website at -www.whiskersofohio.org - please note that the "I'm interested" tab on Petfinder does NOT act as an application, this should only be used for specific questions before committing to an adoption. You will receive an email confirmation when your application goes through. We make no breed guarantees; we are a rescue, not a breeder. Please only apply for a specific kitten if you are committed to adopting! Our workers are all volunteers and it takes time to process applications. We are a registered, volunteer run 501c3 non-profit organization. Free transport is regularly available to Wayne/Holmes County areas! We do have the ability to fly a cat or pair of kittens via Southwest's SWATT program to any location served by Southwest Airlines. It isn't free but has been a great way to transport animals in a timely manner.

Story
Ravioli was found as a friendly stray at the western edge of Licking County -- no neighbors, no home in sight, and seemingly no one looking for her. This Manx lookalike is incredibly sweet, and a very big girl -- lots of fluff that will require regular brushing. She doesn't mind being picked up or carried, and definitely enjoys human attention. She is estimated to be 4-5 years old, and has a $100 adoption fee. All cats adopted through our rescue are age appropriately vaccinated including rabies & FVRCP/Feline Leukemia vaccines, dewormed & free of fleas, combo tested (negative unless otherwise noted), microchipped and spayed/neutered before adoptions are finalized.

Adopting a Manx

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Manx - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

It typically costs $50 to $150 to adopt a Manx from a shelter or rescue organization. The adoption fee usually covers an initial exam, preventatives, spay/neuter, microchipping, and vaccines. Conversely, buying a Manx from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive, often costing $500 to $1,500. Buying a Manx kitten from a breeder is also not recommended due to the welfare concerns of contributing to the breeding of Manx cats with shortened or missing tails.

The easiest way to adopt a Manx is through a shelter or cat-oriented rescue. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Manx cats in your search radius.

Manx fun facts

Fun Facts:

Manx cats do not have tails due to what is believed to have been a spontaneous mutation. The taillessness is a dominant gene in the Manx breed.

Stimpy on The Ren & Stimpy Show is a Manx cat!

Tail lore has it that two Manx were the last passengers aboard Noah's Ark, and Noah (accidentally) slammed the door on their tails.
